Donald Trump & Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire despite having bipartisan support to extend them.
Now, premiums are skyrocketing for working families while billionaires cash in on new tax breaks.
This is what happens when the President calls affordability a hoax.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Just write what you know. If you just write "what you know", you've got three words, and no matter how many times you repeat it, it's still going to be a crappy story.

It is a testament to white nationalist/"nat. con." stupidity to insist, when there is one 'immigration nation' on earth and it is also the richest and most powerful country to have ever existed, that immigration and diversity makes us weaker.

The Supreme Court’s decision to allow ICE to stop people based on their skin color, accent, or workplace is un-American, Tom Nichols argues in The Atlantic Daily.

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

You know what would actually reduce crime and homelessness?
Universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing and a basic living wage.
When people have their most basic needs met, they have happier and healthier lives.
Those hoarding the wealth don’t want to give us those things.
