Coloradans who buy subsidized health insurance on the individual marketplace will pay about twice as much in 2026 as they did this year, assuming Congress doesn’t reach a last-minute deal.

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires...

But for the rest of America?
 
Higher utility bills.
Higher grocery bills.
Historically high mortgage rates.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

I could tell before looking that Trump was insulting a Black woman (Rachel Scott of ABC News).
Reporter: “Are you committed to releasing the full video?”

Trump: “Didn't I just tell you that?”

Reporter: “You said that it was up to Sec. Hegseth.”

Trump: “You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place…You are an obnoxious, actually a terrible reporter.”
