Wait do you have a source for this? Hilarious if true.

Highly unlikely in 2026, but could be a lingering concern.

Ok but people are angry because the prices didn’t go back down (deflation is bad, obviously that’s not feasible). The fact remains that the prices shot up and stayed there.

It mimics material economic concerns, but as you’ve pointed out has nothing to do with them. It’s actually a deeply political issue, where our lack of influence on the form of goods and services belies a lack of political choice.

These complaints are more about how unnecessary the imperfections are than their gravity. Cars are much safer, but they’re loaded with ‘industry standard‘ crap everyone hates. We commute the same distance as ten years ago, but now we have a laptop in our backpack that should make it unnecessary.

Ok I’m very mad about what happened here, but it’s also important to realize the funding only goes until January. If the GOP doesn’t extend the subsidies and the Dem holdouts are willing to shut down again, I’m willing to reassess who needs to be primaried.

I love Nate because he’s seemingly the only voice in politics willing to say when the polls haven’t moved for a while, actually.
His hot takes are usually dumb but I‘m just there for the numbers.

I still want these clowns so suffer in the primaries though. Voters hand them a mandate and they blow it in less than a fucking week, absolutely disgraceful.

Frankly everyone is taking it as a given that the GOP doesn’t vote to extend the subsidies.To be clear that is very possible, but at the same time there have to be a critical mass of GOP congresspeople who understand what these hikes will do to their reelection campaign

Right, no filibuster.

This still needs to pass the House right? As in, the people who have primaries in less than a year?

Senators can rely on short memories and shorter news cycles to avoid getting held accountable for this because their elections are often not until 2028 or 2030. The House has primaries that start in less than a year. If your congressperson is at all moderate, start calling them right now.

J.B. Pritzker had a solid statement too. The backlash seems to be forming quickly, hopefully the House will hold.

The only solution to that kind of nonsense is to primary the living hell out of anyone who pulls this, Schumer included.

Given the sorry state of our transit there should be some allowances given for location of housing. Location can skyrocket the cost of housing and can make the difference of an hour or two of free time per weekday.

Ohhhh so that’s why he was talking about $2000 tariff rebate checks. When the SC strikes them down he‘s gonna say ’well I *WANTED* to give you two grand but now I can’t. SAD!”

Yeah is there any other buy in besides the truth social post? I’ll pay attention to this when anybody else in the admin says it’s happening.
