22 million people are set to lose their insurance credits by the end of the year if the GOP bill takes effect.
The people most of which are from red states, will not get insurance credits that keep their ACA healthcare premiums low.

Cosplay Kristi Noem is furious that Seattle-Tacoma and Portland airports won’t play her taxpayer-funded blame-Democrats video. Imagine thinking airport security lines should double as campaign rallies. Sorry Kristi, democracy doesn’t take propaganda orders.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

"Cosplay Karen" Noem can whine about this shutdown being the Democrats' fault, but we know the truth. Republicans control Congress ＆ they let this happen to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files.

When I look at Washington, I see a crisis of integrity, a refusal to take accountability, and a failure to lead under pressure.

Integrity, performing under pressure, and accountability is precisely what being a Nuclear Plant Supervisor in the Navy taught me.
