ACA insurance enrollment began yesterday. Enrollees are shocked at the huge increases in their premiums due to the Trump administration's termination of their healthcare subsidies. Millions of people will lose their health insurance because they can't afford it.

Concerned for children's safety, IL's gov asked Kristi Noem to pause immigration crackdowns over Halloween. Instead Federal agents chased people through front yards, drove SUVs onto sidewalks & used chemical agents on furious residents in Chicago & northern suburbs.

Bannon Claims β€˜There Is a Plan’ for Trump to Run for a Third Term

Steve Bannon, far right influencer & Trump's former White House chief strategist, claims there's a plan for Trump to run for a 3rd term. Our Constitution states presidents can't serve more than 2 terms, but Trump doesn't seem to care about Constitutional violations.

Screenshot from Trump's Truth Social page, posted early this morning. Evidently he's forgotten that he was the president on Jan 6th. This is not the first time that he's exhibited such confusion. There is something seriously wrong with him. Republicans need to acknowledge this and invoke the 25th.

This morning, theΒ Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Trump touts shutdown as 'unprecedented opportunity' to cut more Democratic priorities Trump in a Truth Social post said he will meet with Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought to discuss cutting agencies.

Trump's vengeful retaliatory behavior is nothing new. He's been firing workers and withholding funding since day one. And now he's actually bragging that a member of his administration was instrumental in the development of Project 2025.

Assuming that Democratic Congressional members hold their ground this time & won't surrender to the Republicans, there will be a government shutdown by the end of today. What is a government shutdown and how will it impact us? CBS News offers this helpful explanation:

Steve Rattner: GOP doesn't talk about dismantling Obamacare but they're doing it piece by piece The federal government is hurtling toward a shutdown next Tuesday night, with the major issue dividing the two parties being healthcare.Β While Republicans rarely talk about repealing Obamacare anymore...

The deadline to pass the federal budget is Sept 30. Republicans want to decimate the Affordable Care Act (β€œObamacare”) but Democrats want to preserve it. If the Republicans succeed, health insurance premiums will skyrocket & millions of people will become uninsured.

Trump is authorizing Troops to use β€œfull force” against Antifa. But antifa is NOT an organization, it's an abbreviation for anti-fascist, an ideology that most us believe in. Authorizing troops to use full force against U.S. residents is Trump's boldest, most dangerous move yet.

Why does Trump keep threatening to send troops into States? Governor JB Pritzker expressed his opinion about it this morning on MSNBC. It's worth watching.

Studies show that most of the time political violence is precipitated by those with right-wing ideology. The Trump administration knows this, which is why the Department of Justice quietly removed a study from their website that disproves their false assertion that violence comes from the left.
