Trump’s Greenland obsession is back: imperial vibes, zero consent. You don’t “appoint envoys” to absorb sovereign land in 2025 without looking like a cartoon strongman. Greenland answered with outrage—and honestly, the polar bear’s reaction feels about right

What a mess! Wyoming has some of the least competitive ACA markets in the country. In places like Teton County, there has often been only one ACA insurer (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming). That lack of competition drives prices way up. This is ridiculous.

When DOJ refuses to act (especially in matters involving its own conduct) Congress can’t rely on the executive branch to police itself, so lawmakers are turning to inherent contempt to assert their authority and pursue enforcement directly.

The primary long-term foreign policy goal of Putin for decades has been to separate the US from a united Europe militarily, economically, & diplomatically, breaking up NATO in the process. This Trump admin is what he’s been waiting for, but he would love a Vance admin even more.

Bonta: The Ninth Circuit refused to stay the order. And so, for the first time in six months, we have no National Guard deployed on the streets of California.
Popok: Have they been taken off the streets?
Bonta: They have. It was required as of, I believe, Monday.

Doing your holiday shopping this weekend? Prices for many of the most popular holiday gifts have risen an average of 26% since last year — nearly 9 times the rate of inflation.
Meanwhile, Trump’s personal net worth has soared by at least $3 billion this year.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Repubs voted against extending the ACA tax credits because it would increase the deficit by $30 billion a year. But the Trump "administration" has blown up the deficit by $167 billion, and they always find ways to cut taxes for the wealthy.
Red states will be hit hardest.
