This accounting is not surprising, Trump is that one kid you never wanted on your High School group projects that never did any work then signed their name at the end to claim credit.

This coming from the woman who has thrown her home country of Ukraine under the bus every chance she gets. Maybe she should resign in solidarity with MTG.

It’s Putin and Trump vs Europe and Ukraine, I have to believe that most U.S. citizens realize that Trump is Putin’s puppet and is working for Putin’s best interests while enriching himself.

I missed the part of this analysis where the obvious is stated: Russia is not a friend of the U.S., it is the aggressor in this war and is absolutely not entitled to anything in this plan. (Ukraine has to make concessions while Russia makes none and is rewarded for repeatedly targeting civilians.)

I need a photo of all the attendees at the G20 standing behind Zelensky and telling the U.S. to "f" right off and threaten to pull all the pending defense contracts. If the U.S. is going to act like a child, treat them like one. Europe and the rest of the civilized world, it is time to step up.

Trump is such a pious man, clearly he was reading the bible to her for all of those hours, desperately trying to save her soul so he himself can get into heaven.

There is a Miracle Mile Shopping Center in suburban Pittsburgh. I guarantee you that no one ever thought this was the world’s best.

Can I send an invoice to John Fetterman to have him reimburse me for the $2400 more that I am going to have to pay for healthcare next year since he is voting to lose the only leverage the Dems have to address this crisis?

Sternly worded message has been sent to Fetterman, but he is a traitor, so I don't expect him to change his vote.

They need to explain to the public exactly how this timeline is going to work AND are they only going after the enhanced subsidies or are they also going to force the carriers to lower the initial base rates. Do better Dems.

Do the Dems understand how the marketplaces work? They might vote in December? How does that help me now to pick coverage for January? I need to know by December 15th if there are going to subsidies and if the carriers are going back to 2025 rates.

Allegheny County, Highmark Gold plan went from $993 to $1195, so 20% increase. There are UPMC options that are cheaper but lose half of my doctors. Only other option is an extremely high-deductible bronze plan and risk not needing to use it any more than I used my current plan this year.

Lincoln was a humble man; I am pretty sure this marble is not something he would approve of (nor would anyone with actual taste).

There are way too many syllables in those names for him to get even one of them right, maybe Albania will get called out again since he can (sometimes) say that correctly.

There are more than 100 horror stories shared on this post in the 30 minutes that it has been up, and these are just the people that happen to be on Bluesky late afternoon on a Monday. There are going to be a lot of really hard conversations coming up as all the exchanges open up.

It is hard to know the exact impact until the exchanges open on November 1st, but from what I saw on the filings of my insurance carrier to the state of Pennsylvania with their 2026 rate proposals, my plan is going to go up by 20%. I am most likely going to have to downgrade my plan level for 2026.

And to be fair, I want the Democrats to explain this as well. What are we supposed to do?
Hold off on enrolling until the last minute?
Enroll now and hope they can get the rates and subsidies set back with the required new state approvals before enrollment closes?

It is amazing how stupid the Republicans appear to be on how the ACA exchanges work. Some of them are open now, most open on November 1st. The states had to approve the new rates. How in the world do they think that there is going to be an agreement to resolve the subsidies at this point?
