This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Trump is taking credit for the ceasefire as if he’s already president. To be fair, millions of Americans have been drinking as if he’s already president.

The Biden/Harris administration put a cap on insulin of $35 a month and a cap on 10 more lifesaver drugs (among them there is Eliquis that I must use and that is extremely expansive). The bill or law should start from 2026. I am wondering if this will change during the Trump administration. Anyone?
