US health insurers are raising insurance premiums by the most in 15 years.
Recall that Trump recently threatened 250% tariffs on pharmaceuticals. GOP lawmakers also chose not to extend the expanded premium tax credits that expire at the end of this year

So I'm grumpy that we seem to be once again creating a dynamic in our party where the people who got to the right answer sooner are marginalized for doing so, while people who were wrong get credit for changing their minds once it became obvious they were wrong. (See also NAFTA, Iraq War, Gaza.)

No one ever seems to remember that Trump is a product of New York City, born/raised/lived almost his entire life, as New York as it gets, and proudly so. It just somehow never comes up, the same way we never talk about where Fox News is located.
When I see people online, even in jest, suggest that people living in Republican-controlled states should be abandoned because of their politicians, I feel a deep heartache. New York CREATED Donald Trump and none of y’all are ever talk about it the way you disparage Alabama or Mississippi.

Breaking news: President Trump’s Justice Department recently sought access to voting equipment used by two Republican clerks in Missouri during the 2020 election, an unusual request as Trump said he would lead a movement to get rid of voting machines.
Trump’s DOJ seeks election equipment in red state ahead of 2026 election
The unusual request for election equipment comes soon after Trump said he would lead a movement to get rid of voting machines and continues to falsely claim he won the 2020 election.

Folks should care *way* more about FL ending childhood vax mandates than they apparently do. This is *huge.* Other red states are going to follow suit, & national herd immunity will be lost. W/o it, *everyone* will be increasingly exposed to diseases we haven't been for years.
