And who would do these “negotiations” with the millions of individuals? What possible leverage would that individual have? We saw this pre-ACA: “Here is a plan. This is the price. If you have any of these things the price doubles. If you complain we boot you. No there is no one else to talk to” 🙄
If there’s one thing the average American is NOT equipped to do, it is “negotiate their own insurance” 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

I didn’t have JCO as lowtaxing him, but in retrospect, it’s kinda obvious.

The ACA cuts happened in the reconciliation bill in July, every single Democrat voted against it and they got 3 detectors so Vance had to break the tie, and the Dems just shut down the government for 40 days to try and get them to undo it, it is absolutely deranged to blame this on “Democrats”
Yes - this is a loss because Democrats have now signed on to ACA cuts as a complicit party and once again made it a less effective issue for the mid terms
From that perspective, this would be a failure, right? Because the Dems lose the narrative that they did everything to stand in the way of ACA cuts.

I appreciate what Whitehouse is doing here. It would also be nice for some of the Do Something caucus to start naming names of those who are hiding behind those not up for election.
Tim Kaine admitted this was a coordinated effort. That’s horseshit and should be treated as a betrayal of trust.

Hold up. Where are we looking here. If it’s the bow, that same angle is there in the weld lines. The color image just has it lower in the water.
In the last known image of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, you can see the structural fatigue where she had started sagging in the middle. Freaky!

I still think it's absurd that they give up now, when I think a much more understandable play would be holding the line and letting the GOP ruin thanksgiving and then doing something to avert ruining Christmas

For my upcoming Minneapolis mayoral numbers crunching, wondering if anyone knows where Somali-Minnesotan votes are concentrated? I know about 6-3 (Cedar-Riv) & 8-1 (Horn Towers) but I’m especially interested in the North Side and other distributions.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I know this sounds mean but if you think that this is a coincidence you're more than a bit of a mark. If Kaine had been up next year, it would have been Warner, if Slotkin was retiring, Peters, etc.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,
