Oregon and Vermont are also seeing premium spikes due to expiring tax credit enhancements, as their window shopping is underway for 2026 ACA marketplace plans. A typical 60-year-old Oregonian couple making $85,000 will face a $20,700 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)

Trump swore up & down he never signed Epstein’s “birthday book.” Called it fake. Even sued the WSJ for reporting it.
Now the evidence tells a different story. And if he went this far to cover up a doodle and a “secret” message, what else is he hiding?

Yesterday's ICE raid near Syracuse was a chilling and unnecessary show of force - officers descended upon the factory with crowbars and masks to detain people who were just doing their jobs.
