The Senate on Thursday rejected legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, essentially guaranteeing that millions of Americans will see a steep rise in costs at the beginning of the year.

None of this is, unfortunately, surprising in the present American moment. But it is still profoundly alarming that the primary regulatory body for environmental protection and pollution control in this country is now actively ignoring scientific evidence. This will end poorly.

To be clear: the new, near-exclusive emphasis on natural causes of climate change on the U.S. EPA's website is now completely out of synch with all available evidence demonstrating overwhelming human influence on contemporary warming trends.

How much of the observed global warming was caused by humans? Science's best estimate: ALL OF IT

25 years of official but false cover for glyphosate and Roundup. Criminal and tragic.

There is no bottom. No logic. No hierarchy. No checks and balances. No norms. No principles. No accountability. No loyalty. No team. Just one man's insatiable sociopathy. He is a black hole of impulses. Sucking all the air and matter out of any room or situation. Trump is a cancer. #momsky

Did you know Trump has added 2.2 trillion to the national debt since taking office 10 months ago?

As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency.

Really important @civileats.com article. Very under the radar so far. ACA has made a world of difference for many farmers.
Farmers are heavily reliant on the Affordable Care Act for health insurance, but with tax credits for the ACA set to expire, many will be facing major hikes to their premiums. Many are now weighing difficult decisions, like going uninsured or finding secondary employment.
Farmers Face Prospect of Skyrocketing Healthcare Premiums
More than a quarter of U.S. farmers rely on the Affordable Care Act, but despite the government shutdown, tax credits are set to expire.

Criminal negligence.
Unbelievable.

Instead they seem to see the issue as another “give us money” trigger. I got two Mark Kelly texts out of nowhere yesterday asking for cash
dems should be putting out new “dont follow illegal orders” videos every day, they should be replying to announcements of investigations of dems with new videos, they should be posting at hegseth to not follow illegal orders nonstop
