For those wondering: In the end, my wife & I were able to keep our premiums about the same…by nearly tripling our deductible, which we’re guaranteed to max out due to her prescription requirements.
Which means we’ll have to pay ~$40,000 for healthcare in 2026.

The Federal Reserve recently made a significant move to Trump-proof itself, by reappointing 11 of its 12 regional bank presidents. Their new 5-year terms begin on 3/1/26.
Why does this matter? Because the regional bank presidents vote on interest rates. Which 47 very much wants to reduce.

BARTIROMO: How is it possible that Democrats are winning the messaging argument on affordability?
BESSENT: A lot of it is the mainstream media. What we in this administration are not going to do is what the Biden administration did and tell the American people they don't know what they're feeling.

The Trump regime “admitted in court that he was wrongfully detained and wrongfully deported,” Sen. Van Hollen said in April. “My mission and my purpose is to make sure that we uphold the rule of law, because if we take it away from him, we do jeopardize it for everybody else.”
This is leadership and courage when a lot of the Democratic establishment and pundit class wanted to let this man rot in a torture facility.
Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.
This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.
