Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Of all the things a compliant Republican congress is just letting happen, giving a slimy sex addict power over the health of the nation may end up doing the most irreversible damage.

Dictators like Trump depend upon fear to enforce loyalty. Once defections start, it can be hard to get people back into line.
In the last month or so, we’ve seen defections from MTG, all of Congress on Epstein and leaders on Venezuela, and Indiana on gerrymandering.
That’s a sea change.

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.
They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.
They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.
