Reporter: Deb Dauphinais is among those facing sticker shock as she and her husband try to get health insurance. They used to buy coverage for themselves and their employees, but it just became too expensive. If the ACA tax credits expire their premiums jump from $7,000 a year as a couple to $27,000

"I know what you’re thinking: This is just Trump embellishing. And that’s right. But I want you to listen to him recounting the story as it exists in his mind today and then contrast it with the video of him just one year ago actually in the McDonald’s."

MAGA Florida voter complains about her new no-subsidy Florida Blue premium going up by 23x and exceeding her income, then dutifully reposts the Jesus / Trump / Flag / Country meme. Wake up low-income #MAGA, you've been thrown under the bus to give the top 1% a tax cut! #aca

Remember as well what I said about this the other day: Every time Pritzker, Newsome or whoever does this successfully, it creates an incentive to do it again. Criticism is a self-reinforcing cycle.
Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light.

FBI Director Kash Patel appears to have used an official $60 million FBI jet to attend his girlfriend’s performance at Penn State. All while we’re on Day 29 of Trump’s government shutdown, health care costs are surging, and SNAP benefits are set to expire on November 1st.

The people on this airplane have a sense of duty and self-sacrifice that Donald Trump will never understand. They are NOAA employees flying their plane through the middle of the category 4 Hurricane Melissa south of Jamaica. And they aren't getting paid.

Tragic. Melissa is making a direct hit on Jamaica’s area with the weakest buildings.
The western end of Jamaica where #Melissa is projected to make landfall has the least well-built structures of anyplace on the island. Graphic is from a 2021 paper, "Poverty and hurricane risk exposure in Jamaica": www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:
Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president
TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

Why would Trump provide evidence of his claims? Then you wouldn't be outraged and distracted enough to forget about the Epstein files.

With hurricane season upon us, the National Guard should be helping Americans prepare for natural disasters, not policing citizens on our streets.
Hurricane Melissa was churning near Jamaica Monday morning, hours after it rapidly intensified into a powerful Category 5 storm in the Caribbean. It is forecast to bring as much as 30 inches of rain to parts of Jamaica over the next few days. See its path and follow updates. nyti.ms/4ofocgM
