I made the mistake of deciding to sign up for health insurance via healthcare marketplace this morning, since all hope of a tax break is gone. The plan I had in 2025 will now cost $1,400/MONTH. The cheapest I can get for 2026 will be a bronze plan $973/month. I'll just be lying here like this:

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.
I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.

When I met with Mohsen Mahdawi today, we spoke about how appreciative he is to have the support of so many people in Vermont.
He said one of the reasons he wanted to become a citizen was because of his belief in American democracy.
He hopes that justice will prevail in his case.
