House Republicans have killed amendments to their “healthcare bill” that would have extended the ACA premium tax credits. The vote will go on tomorrow with no help for subsidy recipients.
This was a Republican choice. An absolutely unforced error. Lives will be lost because of it. Never forget it.

In Feb 2023, I attended a climate skeptics conference in Orlando. I was the only reporter.
David Stevenson told me there that the offshore wind industry would “crumble” before it reached South Carolina. And that he was leading the opposition.
I followed him for 3 years and wrote this story.
