Inflation is only 3%, so we're nowhere near the peak that everyone said was apocalyptic for Biden, and yet people are just as angry. Because everything is vibes and the facts don't matter. At least this time Trump's doing it to himself with horrific tariff policies and wealth transfer to the rich.

There are many hurdles to a deal on extending the enhanced ACA funds. Some are resolvable, like adjusting the income caps and eligibility rules; Democrats are open to negotiating that. But abortion is much more problematic. SBA is pushing Rs to make it a red line. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.
