Uh huh. Ironic given the thousands of furloughed or fired government workers, collapsing private sector jobs numbers, and rising inflation under King Biff.

Boom! Who’s winning the shutdown debate? THE ACA.

More Republicans than Democrats use the ACA marketplace. So the GOP’s base is relying on the same program their party is causing premiums to skyrocket.

45% of ACA marketplace enrollees are Republicans, and most live in GOP-held districts.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

Trump really just bragged at a Charlie Kirk memorial event that he’s better at dodging assassin’s bullets than Charlie Kirk.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

I'm old enough to remember when it was considered political suicide to criticize the United States while on foreign soil. The number of times Donald has crossed that Rubicon are too many to count.

I bet this has to do with a Trump Organization project to build a theme park, a luxury hotel, and residential homes in Indonesia. In 2018, we learned the Chinese government was an investor. Earlier this year, Indonesia halted the project over environmental concerns.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Egypt has extremely strict gun control laws. Civilians are only permitted to own handguns -- no rifles or shotguns -- and only if they can prove they need the weapon for a specific purpose. Background checks for licensing are extensive and include vetting of family members and psych evaluations.

After losing my friend and podcast partner Chez Pazienza in 2017, Marc's voice helped fill that cool-older-brother space in my life. When I listen to WTF, I often hear Chez's voice and it helped me to heal from his loss. Thank you for all of it @marcmaron.bsky.social. Looking forward to what's next.
