“Trump’s “plan” to bypass insurance companies shows a complete lack of understanding of how insurance works. Smaller risk pools increase variance and raise costs. He wants risk pools of 1 - effectively eliminating insurance for anyone that doesn’t have it through an employer or Medicare."

Today is Election Day, and while we aren’t on the ballot just yet, there are many important local races taking place. Whether it’s for a School Board candidate, City Councilor, or any position that matters to you - make sure you vote and make your voice heard

After the No Kings protest, many are asking "What's next?"
This is our generation's "What can you do for your country" moment.
I encourage everyone to not doom scroll and complain but to be active. If you aren't running for office, support someone who is.

Also, it is entirely inappropriate for him to be sending our Guard to a state where that Governor has not only not requested them, but even sued to prevent them from being sent.

Our Governor is playing national politics with the Texas National Guard. We need a Texas legislature that is more concerned with running the state of Texas than with running for President.

As a retired officer of the US Army, I am shocked by the President's suggestion that we would use American cities as a "training grounds" for our military. I swore an oath to the Constitution, not to any person.

Competence Isn’t Elitism
I’ve mentioned before and as my logo depicts, I’m building this campaign on three pillars: Character, Competence, and Compassion.

Happy Independence Day America! The MAGA extremists who control the @gop may want us to give up, but we will never do so. From Valley Forge to Ia Drang, to Anbar Province, brave Americans have always fought no matter the odds. God bless the USA and may God protect our troops.

Mike Johnson is a disgrace.
Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way?
MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

Dealing with MAGA is exhausting. There is nothing “conservative” about their views, or even logically consistent. How they took hold of a major political party I struggle to understand.

My brother, @schwabfortexas.com has another economy explainer video up. He did the economics stuff, I did the video.
This is an excellent job of explaining how the government interacts with the markets.
