THAT'S LITERALLY HOW THE SUBSIDIES & ACA EXCHANGES WORK ALREADY.

CONSUMERS ARE INFORMED BY COMPARING POLICIES ON THE ACA EXCHANGES, THEN THEY PURCHASE ONE AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS SOME OR ALL OF THE COST OF THAT POLICY.

You gotta wonder if Texas Republicans are looking at their new congressional map and wondering if they made a huge mistake.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

It’s only early and mail votes, but hard to see how Austin’s Prop Q comes back from this.

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

I suspect that people still voting an hour after polls were supposed to close in an off-year election is probably a bad sign for Prop Q. But I guess we’ll see!

Wondering where Austin election results are? No early vote counts in Travis County until everyone has voted.

There’s no way to watch this and not ridicule it for how lame it is. Just painfully, cringefully lame.

Agree or disagree with the protesters, but there’s nothing more American than telling the government to eat shit.
