Trump’s budget ends ACA subsidies—premiums will soar in 2026. Dems need to go on offense: rally around the Public Option. It’s popular, overdue, and the fix we should’ve passed in 2009. Trump raised your premiums. Dems will lower them.

Where have you gone, _________? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
So many names to fill the blank—Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Dick Cheney, George W Bush, John Thune, Mitch McConnell, et al. Where the fuck are you all?
On Fox Business today (March 10), Elon had this to say to Larry Kudlow:
Remember the quaint, good old days when Jared Kushner met with Russian Ambassador Kislyak and banker Sergei Gorkov to establish secret back-channel communications before Trump’s 2016 inauguration? Now it’s all out in the open.
I agree, although I’d go a step further and have him switch parties. He very narrowly won his district, so he’d likely get re-elected as a Dem if he were to run again. We only need three seats in the House to regain control. So many portraits of cowardice in the GOP rogues’ gallery.
Don Bacon (R-NE) narrowly won his district, so if he switched parties, he would have ample political cover when seeking re-election. He knows what’s at stake. He needs to grow a spine—not even a big one, just enough to do what’s right.

Musk is on the fast track to control the nation’s space program, air traffic, defense, AI, telecom, and energy. So what will happen when he falls out with Trump? He’ll wield unimaginable influence over the U.S.—and the world. Even a Bond villain never dreamt of this kind of power.
Musk is on track to control the nation’s space program, air traffic, defense, AI, telecom, and energy. So what will happen when he inevitably falls out with Trump? He’ll hold all the strings, with awesome power to exert over the U.S.—and the world. A Bond villain never had it so good.
Just a reminder to all those so-called conservatives who are sticking with the orange shit stain:
Under Trump, Musk will control the nation’s space program, air traffic, defense, AI, telecom, and energy. But what happens if he falls out with Trump or a future president? He’ll wield tremendous influence over the U.S.—and the world. A Bond villain never had this kind of power.
And now 74 million Americans also believe the government is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on making mice transgender.
