NEW: Donald Trump says he wants ACA funds to end after 2025
“I’d rather not" extend them, he tells reporters on AF1. "I don’t want to extend them for two years. I’d rather not extend them at all."
He wants cash to go "directly" to people. Unclear how that'd work.

Trump says he would 'rather not' extend Obamacare tax credits 'at all'
The president said he prefers to let the Affordable Care Act subsidies expire on schedule at the end of December, saying if anything he wants the money to go to "the people directly."

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

i've said for a while there's a contradiction between the online left's demand everything be free and that small businesses/internet artists/etc be paid well. given how poorly people reacted to borger more exponsive it was clear "fuck the artists" was always going to win out.

Terry's chocolate oranges are awesome. But why would you make one mint? they are oranges. They are shaped and pull apart like oranges.
For whatever reason, commercials are almost always shot at 24 (23.9whatever) frames per second. This one that just aired on ESPNU was shot at 60 (59.94) fps (with a 1/120 shutter), and it immediately looks so weird! even though this is the native frame rate of the broadcast!

People seem to have a video gaming view of politics, where Democrats are P1 and Republicans and voters are just NPC that you have to fight a certain way or choose the right dialogue options with to win, and if you fail, well, that just means you're bad at the game.
I saw a few posts today blaming Harris for Trump’s victory and it just pissed me off. It borders on victim blaming.

So what's the motivation of the "Patel is on the way out" leaker?
Do they want him out, and think by leaking this it will happen faster?
Or do they want him to stay, and hope by leaking this, Trump will keep him in hopes of having a "fake news" moment?

I'm sure the conservative justices will care, given that they, in the past, have lied about the facts in their own opinions before.
This is the same playbook the Trump administration ran in Portland, where DHS officials falsely accused local police of failing to help them (or not arriving quickly enough). Strikes me as a problem that the government lies so freely to the Supreme Court now. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

My conspiracy theory about this is that Trump actually was part of the plan to smuggle Bolsonaro out of Brazil.
An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II:
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier

Did the Republican president talk to Bolsonaro as the Brazilian plotted to escape? Trump said yes, but the White House isn’t so sure.
