The ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits are at the center of the ongoing government shutdown. The tax credits have led to a more than doubling of Marketplace enrollment, but they'll expire at end of this year if Congress doesn’t act to extend them.
Here are some key facts about the credits from KFF

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

Our economy is screwed.
People like Stephen King are getting caught in Kirk's deceit. He didn't say gays should be stoned. He said Biblical law requiring gays to be stoned was "God's perfect law." He didn't say it explicitly, but implicitly, and everyone understood his meaning, especially that he was being deceitful.

From asbestos to stolen elections, Trump has spent decades turning conspiracy theories into government policy—eroding trust and warping U.S. institutions. Here’s how the paranoid style became the Trump style.

Representative Brian Mast (R-FL), the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and former IOF soldier, introduced a provision to the Department of State Reorganization Act of 2025 that would grant Secretary of State Marco Rubio the authority to revoke or refuse to issue passports to U.S. citizens if he deems that they have "knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to an organization [he] has designated as a foreign terrorist organization."
Notably, Rubio used this as the basis to revoke student visas and detain activists who spoke out against the genocide in Gaza and the Israeli government, as well as in support of Palestine. Seth Stern, director of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation, told The Intercept that the bill would open the door to "thought policing at the hands of one individual," saying "Marco Rubio has claimed the power to designate people terrorist supporters based solely on what they German Jews' Passports Declared Invalid

The far-right, Trump and his cabinet keep saying we’re being dramatic or “snowflakes” for calling the right what they are: Fascist Nazis. We call them Fascist Nazis because they’re doing EXACTLY what the Nazis were doing in Germany back in the 30s and 40s, now in present day America.
