In other words, we’ll return to pre-Obamacare. Insurance will be more expensive and coverage will be worse. People with pre-existing conditions may not be able to find coverage, or it may be so expensive they will not be able to afford it. As usual, Trump has no idea what he’s talking about.

The UAE-backed horror in el-Fasher exposes the West's empty words For over 500 days, urgent warnings of an impending slaughter in the Sudanese city were ignored as the UAE's 'unlimited cash' spoke louder

One day another book will be written about the Trump-Kushner Abraham Accords that picks up the ball where my Proof of Conspiracy left off and shows that what Trump and his son-in-law billed as a series of peace deals deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize were in fact a bloodbath for Africa and elsewhere

Republican politicians with gold standard healthcare telling Americans they don’t need affordable healthcare.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Breaking WSJ:

Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Trump White House throws its support behind new, 50-year mortgages It’s a problem that Donald Trump suddenly endorsed misguided 50-year mortgages. How he was convinced to support the idea makes it even worse.

The 50-year mortgage was suggested by Bill Pulte, mortgage fraud accuser. Another crackpot in the Trump admin. MSNBC lets Trump’s going for the idea off easy as “unprepared.” Similarly, it excuses Trump’s understanding of the current state of the economy as “boasting.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Confused about how that helps is at all.

The amount of food stamps people receive does not provide a month’s worth of food. As usual, he is out of touch and doesn’t know what he’s talking is talking about. He thinks he is throwing red meat to his base.

Trump is doing a great job of showing how out of touch and clueless he is. We’ve been to the grocery store. He hasn’t.

Facts would like a word.

Who imposed tariffs?
Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce?
Who undermined the Fed?
Who halted renewable energy?
Who's running deficits?

In case it's not obvious, none of this is true. He's either innumerate, or lying.

Obviously signed by autopen, too.

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

Seems as if Trump is sending a message about 2028.

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly.

A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here.

U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

One can only hope Senator Marshall is proposing that we get rid of health insurance companies.

Tbf, Trump is just learning what the word “affordability” means. He recently said,“They have this new word called affordability.” And it may be harder for a wealthy person like Trump to understand.

He said: "Prices are down under Trump.'

Me: "It is quite literally false. There's not a single way you can interpret a word that the man's saying..as being remotely reflective of either what we're seeing in data from all across the country or in people's everyday lives."

Vote Hassan out.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

We would still have a government shutdown.

The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is “not to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.”

It’s as though Aunt Bea had hijacked a national political party.

This will only show Trump he can blackmail Dems by illegally withholding funds.

If people have to drop their health insurance and if you add people having to go off Medicaid, there will be serious consequences for our healthcare system that won’t be easy to fix.

I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care.

Trump and R’s have more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by taking food from kids.
