Well, it looks like over 20 million Americans are going to get huge increases in their health insurance bills. There are stories everywhere about huge increases in premiums. When people get those bills or are forced to loose their insurance because they can’t afford it, they are going to know it was the Republicans who caused it to happen. They may have voted for Trump to control the border, but they won’t care about that when they or their kids can’t go to the doctor due to fear of crippling medical bills. Republicans control it all. If there are systemic problems with the ACA, they can fix it now to keep health insurance affordable.

Based upon the election results this week, Republicans would be wise to sweeten the deal a bit to convince 6 Dems to vote for it. It would demonstrate that they can actually govern and keep the country running.

AI is the elephant in the room no one is talking about. Our government doesn’t seem interested in regulating it. AI firms are stealing the intellectual property of everyone to use. Corporations can’t wait to lay off their employees to increase their profits. Tech billionaires will become trillionaires while the working class will be left fighting for the crumbs. If it can be used for evil, we all know it will be used that way. Aside from possible health care benefits, I don’t see any benefits. I don’t want driverless cars, I don’t want a computer for a doctor, I don’t want young men developing relationships with algorithm programmed AI women, I don’t want to not know if a photo, video or voice is real. It’s all BS.

Mamdani seems to be the NYC Dems selection in response to continuing cost of living increases. Same forces brought Trump back to office. Will be interesting to see if his flavor of politics expands in the party outside of NYC. Voters don’t seem to care about political experience, as long as they like the message. Trump will probably try to punish Mamdani/NYC since he hates when anyone else gets the media cameras.

So if this is about drug cartels, why is Trump focused on Venezuela instead of Columbia or Mexico? I thought those two nations were most responsible for the drugs entering USA.

Fake. His phone isn’t showing his face.

Agree. And same for much of America on one side or the other. Just another example of why gerrymandering is at the root of the political dysfunction in the country. If politicians are in safe gerrymandered districts, they can take extreme positions and ignore the concerns of the other party.

Our military has always been ahead of society in valuing people for their abilities, regardless of their faith or skin color. That has been one of our great strengths. Our military is an assimilation factory.

Still waiting to see a Republican healthcare plan. And now you support SNAP. Got it.

True. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. 600k does seem high but what is the Republican plan then?

Republicans want to cut SNAP benefits and health insurance subsidies. Let the pain begin. Let’s let millions of Trump voters receiving those benefits suffer. Show and tell the stories of Americans suffering on the news. Let them remember which party wants these policies.
