During the government shutdown, Republicans refused to negotiate with Democrats over the enhanced ACA subsidies. Though the subsidies expire at the end of 2025, Republicans insisted that the issue could wait until after the shutdown. Now the GOP’s health care homework is due, and they’re panicking.

WOLFERS: “When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.” #MedicareForAllNOW

Rahmanulla Lakanwal is the National Guard shooting suspect.
Interesting that there were 36 searches for his exact name.
4 hours before the shooting.
I bet Stephen Miller knows why.

The shooter of the the National Guard in DC was granted asylum in April of this year. Refresh my recollection: Who was president in April of this year? Was it Joe Biden? No, I didn't think so . . .
And why was the National Guard unnecessarily there at all? Was it Joe Biden? No, I didn't think so.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.
“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Holy shit! Trump has no decency or compassion.
A reporter asked if he planned to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guard member who just died.
Instead of offering condolences, he said he would “consider it” and pivoted to bragging about his margin of victory in West Virginia.

So they are saying an Afghan National is responsible. Perhaps if the FBI hadn't pulled so many away from counterterrorism & put them on helping ICE this could have been thwarted.
