KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

a journalist asked a question about a fellow murdered journalist and there is simply no way to read Trump's response as anything other than a threat
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

1. Trump suggests that Jamal Khashoggi may have deserved to be assassinated or at least should not be a sympathetic figure, and then says that the Saudi Crown Prince was unaware in advance of the assassination plot.
Trump’s own intel agencies concluded that MBS was aware in advance of the plot.
