Why this Republican lawmaker is still showing up to work during the shutdown As most lawmakers stay home during the shutdown, Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., keeps reporting to his Capitol Hill office, urging Congress to return to work and end the standoff.

Millions face 'huge sticker shock' when ACA open enrollment starts Nov. 1 Millions of households logging on to enroll in a health plan via the Affordable Care Act marketplace will see much higher premiums.

Open enrollment for ACA marketplace health insurance plans starts today.

Millions of people are about to realize (if they haven't already) that their premiums are going to cost WAY more in 2026 because Republicans are refusing to renew critical tax credits.

This is a crisis.

Truly a talented actor who has far more credits under his belt than the one from his years as a child actor. His talent was huge. So sad for his family and for those of us who enjoyed his work as an adult actor.

Federal agents clash with protesters during ICE raid at Southern California farm Federal agents clashed with protesters during an immigration raid at a farm in Southern California, one of at least two large-scale raids in the region on Thursday.

Iโ€™m old enough to remember when Trump promised farmers last Thursday in Iowa that he was not going to take away migrant workers that are vital to their existence.

Trump Floats the Idea of Executing Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley The former president is inciting violence against the nationโ€™s top general. Americaโ€™s response is distracted and numb.

Horrified by the news out of Minnesota. RIP Melissa & Mark Hortman. I wrote this 18 months ago: "As a political scientist who studies political violence across the globe, I would chalk up the lack of high-profile assassinations in the United States during the Trump and post-Trump era to dumb luck."

This holds true for events in Minnesota today.

Violence against legislators is a clarion call of weakness.

It advertises the fact that the attackers are weak, desperate, and in the minority.

It is an open attack on democratic governance, grounded on free and fair elections by We the People.
