Even the folks at Fox, like Brian Kilmeade, think the end of enhanced ACA subsidies could cause all kinds of problems for Americans who buy their insurance through the exchanges. The end of subsidies could cause prices to rise for everyone.

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Every time Trump submits one the 6 cons on the court rule in his favor faster than Usain Bolt does the 100m dash

From the new chief of Britain's MI6:
"Hundreds of thousands have died, with the toll mounting every day, because of Putin’s historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect. He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population."
