Longtime Florida insurance agent Alan Reynolds, 65, predicts many of his customers will allow their policies to lapse when the price hikes become clear. An independent who leans conservative, Reynolds, of Port St. Lucie, called the Affordable Care Act flawed but said he favors the continuation of the enhanced subsidies β€œand not pulling the rug out from under people.”

His family is also affected. The loss of his wife’s subsidy means she is likely to pay about $1,200 or more each month, up from about $500 in 2024, he said. β€œI voted for Trump,” Reynolds said. β€œI didn’t expect this.”

Her main retort to those of us who showed our anger at the Vancouver town hall was that we probably just "read too much news", so I genuinely think she pays very little attention to the news at all.

She'll make claims so insulting or absurdly false or dumb that I cannot tell if she just has total contempt for her constituents to think we'd buy it, or if she's just completely incompetent and actually believes the nonsense she spews (e.g. "I voted for the SAVE act *because* it was a bad law!")

She's a weird degrowther rural snob who doesn't care about a brutal immigration system or us being cut off from the rest of the world because we can just "right to repair" fourth-hand Speed Queen washing machines or whatever.

MGP doesn't really care what the rest of the Dems want, or what the GOP wants, or what *any* of her own constituents want. She cares about what *MGP* wants, personally (and often idiosyncratically). She is a party and voter base unto herself.

Again, she's not an annoying centrist who is trying to pander too much to the right, she's a genuinly bizarre and unserious crank who treats my district's one precious seat in Congress like a fucking toy. It's infuriating how little she cares about ANY of the sacred duties we entrusted her with.

The federal government is shut down with no end in sight as the GOP have basically dissolved Congress until further notice, and the president is acting like he can do whatever he wants with the money.

Meanwhile, @gluesenkampperez.house.gov has a critical press release for: her local leaf contest.

i hope platner wins, but asserting that a complete unknown who has been campaigning for like 90 seconds is sure to win an election against one of the most formidable senators in congress is just an embarrassing childish fantasy and should be treated as such. it also does platner no favors.

There’s a reason Ezra Levin is on Trump’s enemies list, is being investigated by the government, while no one much cares about Talia Jane.

The whole point isn’t *not wanting to get in trouble*, it’s showing that we have done nothing to provoke state repression, and yet we will be repressed regardless

This has been bothering me all day because the obvious point of No Kings is to show we have the power to do a color revolution if they donβ€˜t honor the results of future elections.

The other point is to radicalize fence-sitters by having people who are *clearly doing nothing wrong* be tear gassed

Admining anything Microsoft is a fucking nightmare. Their own documentation is reliably at least a few months out of date (often it's YEARS), so good luck figuring out where they hid that setting now or what they've renamed that feature to.

The general expectation among US elite culture is that the broad catch all of "liberals"--urban dwellers, minorities, women, LGBTQ ppl, etc--are expected to eat unending amounts of shit from "real" Americans while a) not complaining and b) still financially supporting them but without holding power

It is continously bewildering to me that Microsoft still exists as company as each year they seem less capable of making anything that works *at all*. A probably-illegal monopoly is basically all that keeps them from being crushed under the weight of their many incompetent code-sins...

I like the "stupid radlibs won't be the ones to throw the tear gas canisters back, the bastards" bit.

Like, probably no one should be trying to grab unidentified incidiery devices that could severely burn you or fucking explode your hand off!? You need like body armor for that.

No Kings is a good slogan but if we're being pedantic then it seems important that Trump is claiming much more expansive powers than any English king ever had.

Every single person who actually shows up to a protest is contributing more than all the online protest critiquers combined

it is no wonder that 50501, a movement of radlibs who are very upset but don’t want to get in trouble, would be boosting superficial activism.

superficial activism has its place, but if that place is front and center, it kills whatever movement it is skimming off the top of.

This is exactly backwards, the no kings protests are a mass movement of regular people that have every republican politician in the country raging about "hate America rallies," and the online protest industry weirdos who say shit like "radlib" to each other are the ones skimming off the top of them
