Trump Administration's New Healthcare Plans Could Slap Families With $31,000 Deductibles | Common Dreams New Trump healthcare plans offer lower premiums but come with high deductibles, risking financial burden on patients. Ex

Trump’s grand plan to lower health care costs is to make changes to the Affordable Care Act that could increase a family’s yearly deductible to $31,000.

That’s after he let ACA subsidies expire in his big, ugly bill.

Remember: he doesn’t actually care about making your life better.

Trump's SOTU address told us what we already suspected - Trump will lie and ramble his way through speeches whilst Republicans cheer to distract from the clear mental decline on display. Watch the LP Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZH8VBbJUTo

RFK Jr. says you can more easily afford groceries if you start eating liver instead of beef.

If grocery prices are cheaper like Trump says, then why is his administration constantly telling you cut corners or go without?

Those who die due to a lack of DHS funds will have died for voting wrong.

Blind refugee Nurul Amin Shah Alam died for having the wrong color skin.

US citizen Linda Davis died because ICE has been taught they don't need to follow the Constitution...or their own safety protocols.

Trump is withholding tens of millions in disaster relief because he had Noem institute a reg at DHS that says she must approve major expenditures. And right now all she's approving is massive weapons purchases and a fuck plane for her and Corey. Where do YOU think this is headed?

And in the *2025* Proof Series book Proof of Destruction, PROOF showed how the 2021 insurrection and failed self-coup never ended and was in fact as much a danger as it's ever been.

And now here we are.

What Trump is discussing is very much an insurrection against US democracy.

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy California Attorney General Rob Bonta alleged Amazon led a price-fixing conspiracy of online retailers to inflate prices

Amazon is allegedly driving up prices by blocking vendors from selling their products at lower prices elsewhere, according to the California Attorney General.

This is exactly what state leaders should be doing to take on corporate lawbreaking while Trump lets them off the hook.

Oakwood officials confirm $68 million purchase of facility for new ICE detention center City officials said they expect the property sale to decrease tax collections by more than $770,000.

πŸ”΄ Oakwood/Flowery Branch, GA warehouse sold to ICE for $68 million.

The sale adds 1,500 beds to ICE’s
New warehouse detention network, and brings the total expenditure to $895 million. GA stands to lose $778K in annual tax revenue. It will cost $2.4 billion to operate all 10 warehouses.

So I just got a statement from California AG Bonta's office:
"Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny β€” the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review"

The Epstein class The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) release of millions of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein included thousands of mentions of prominent billionaires.

This is a good summary of some of the oligarchs contained in the Epstein files and what we know so far about their connections to him.

Trump’s lies last night don’t change the fact that inflation is up, unemployment is up, and the Epstein Class are getting richer while being shielded from justice by Donald Trump and the Republicans. The sycophants cheered, but the emperor has no clothes.

What's important about this story is the newly revealed fact that Donald Trump's personal lawyers are sifting through the Epstein Files and determinedly removing only those pages that could potentially inculpate their client. That's consciousness of guilt writ cartoonishly large.

In the general election, you either vote for the Democrat or you help MAGA stay in power. It's that simple.

Trump is actually doing even worse on immigration (-18 points) than he is on the economy (-16 points) in the new WaPo poll. Tariffs are -30. These are both supposed to be GOP strengths. Trumpism is a massive debacle, with the public widely rejecting the main pillars of MAGA right wing nationalism:
