After having convinced Americans that it's other countries that pay tariffs - NOT Americans themselves - Trump will now offer to give a small portion of the collected revenues back to the people as if it's a gift from the kindly czar.

If the Japanese hadn’t bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, everyone would’ve been talking about the Jersey Central and Reading Railroads canceling service that day to protest tax increases.

Someone please explain to me how will a vote NEXT month on ACA Subsidies work? Rates are out and up enormously. Will there be a special enrollment period if the subsidies are continued? I mean this is ALL hypothetical anyway, because does anyone really believe that there will be a vote on this? SAD!

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.
I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.
But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

Yeah, despite the rumblings from other reporters this still feels like another bit of Axios wishcasting.
What's for certain is that any Democrat who votes to cave now and betray the base in exchange for nothing at all will live to regret it.

I just received my food delivery that I was able to purchase because I RECEIVED my SNAP benefits today. I sobbed. I didn't expect that reaction. I cried for the relief of having access to food but it was ALSO for the 42M under so much stress and for the MILLIONS who have NOT received their benefits.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

After the largest peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations in American history, and a blue wave election where voters clearly and loudly said FIGHT ALL OF THIS CHAOS, it is malpractice and disqualifying for an elected Democrat to suggest caving to Trump.
I'm looking in your direction, Chuck Schumer.

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.
The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.
