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

Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

I have 27 years of experience working in transmission operations and transmission planning for a large electric utility. You can either argue, which will just be annoying, or you can decide that you don’t know much about this and be willing to learn.

Your article about Poland is similar to the way things work in the US. If a generator trips in Illinois power will flow from other parts of the EI to make up for the loss until other systems can raise the output of local generation. I have seen this happen with my own eyes.

As I said earlier, Texas is mostly within ERCOT. ERCOT has some issues including the lack of a capacity market for generation and a state legislature that cares more about preventing abortion than reliable electricity. IMO, ERCOT should become part of one of the other interconnections

Not true. This was a local problem where local protection systems operated to either prevent damage or to prevent cascading to a wider area. It has nothing to do with an interconnection or lack of one

Okay. Let me try this another way, and see if that works.

I was a boy with relatives in Greece during the time of the Colonels, a pretty scary military junta. Some would say it was fascist: Militarism, anti-communism, nostalgia, etc.

But no.

Yes we do. Just within the US we have the Western Interconnection (west of the Rockies), ERCOT (most of Texas) and the Eastern Interconnection (East of the Rockies. Each interconnection is one big grid.

We’re going to learn one day that this was like Trump thinking “political asylum” involves the mentally ill but he heard “war cabinet” and thought kitchen cabinets were part of national defense

A bit of James Baldwin today:
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

I think I'm correct in saying that John Lewis would be proud of you.

[writing the constitution]

Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president"

Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that

Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

While we still have free speech, don’t forget about the ANTIFA meeting this weekend. If you bring a savory snack, don’t forget that Deborah is allergic to olives. That was a close call last time.

Also, shhhhhh. It’s a secret.

Ouch

This is “why” ABC says they axed Jimmy Kimmel. Not once did Kimmel disparage Kirk or say anything wrong or derogatory about his death.

What REALLY happened is Trump’s FCC threatened ABC to fire Kimmel w/ Trump repeating “Fallon and Kimmel are next” after Colbert cancellation.

When I’ve said Trump’s moral development is at the stage of a toddler’s I wasn’t trying to be funny. This is from Kohlberg’s Stages Of Moral Development. (BTW, Kohlberg found only 10-15% of people reach the most advanced level of moral reasoning, as it requires the capacity for abstract thinking)

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder...

Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed.

Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

Hi Bean, or Chloe, or whatever you are answering to today. Enjoy your nap

If we flew the American flag at half-mast for every murder of an American who deserved better, who deserved to be heard and respected and live in peace, we’d never raise the flag to its full height again.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

We must not posthumously sanitize Charlie Kirk's hateful life Opinion: While condemning violence is something most can get behind, the sanitization of Charlie Kirk's hate has gone too far, argues Erin Reed.

To Kash Patel, it's better to be quiet and let people think you are an ass clown than to speak and remove all doubt.

Would you trust you?
