One thing looks different this open enrollment season: health care premiums have skyrocketed. Affordable Care Act tax credits that lower costs for millions are in limbo while Republican leadership in Congress refuses to continue them. Everyone deserves access to health care, not a #HealthcareHeist.

These two things cannot both be true:
1: throwing a sandwich at a federal officer is a violent assault worthy of prosecution.
2: raiding the Capitol grounds, assaulting police offices & vandalizing federal property in an effort to interfere with an election is a harmless protest worthy of pardons.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
