Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.
Why Nikki Haley’s son went radical: His generation inherited insecurity.

I profile Nalin Haley, a fascinating young man, who I believe will likely play an important role in conservative politics in years to come.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

They do not have a plan, they’ve never had a plan. They’ve also never had the votes to repeal the ACA which is *OVERWHELMINGLY* popular, nor have they been able to get the Supreme Court to overturn it, so instead they’ve just shut down the entire government to try forcing Dems to stop funding it.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Republicans waged a relentless, decades-long campaign to privatize Medicare and Medicaid

They fought even mild efforts to expand public insurance

Now they are objecting to extending extra ACA subsidies, supposedly because money flows to private insurers

We are supposed to take this seriously?

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Current monthly premium for me (62) and youngest child (21) with subsidies

$692.00 per month

"Your premium may be as low as" estimate for 2026, losing the subsidy

$2742.00 per month.

That's a 400% increase. Help.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

Establishing that the government has a right to summarily execute members of any nebulously bounded group that caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans should probably worry cigarette companies, liquor manufacturers and vaccine skeptics.
TRUMP: "We have legal authority [for boat strikes], right? We're allowed to do that. And if we do by land, we may go back to Congress. ... They killed 300,000 Americans last year, and that gives you legal authority."

Love it when Republicans try to tell me that I’m exaggerating about what Republicans are actually like behind closed doors.

No. They’re just pissed when people break their trust — AKA their white supremacist bro code — by telling the truth about what they’re like.

I'm sure the Supremes won't have any problem with this. It's what the founders certainly intended. Trump will be irreparably harmed if he can't ruthlessly punish his political opponents and any innocent collateral damage.

Just don't try to forgive student loans. That's where they draw the line.
After bragging about permanently cutting "Democrat programs," Trump says "we're not closing up Republican programs."
