I donāt mind discussing the level of ACA subsidies & caps. I want to know, if they do away with the ACA, will there be the requirements ACA has for insurance plans, and a limit on the % of my income I can be charged? If not, keep the ACA. I was on it before Medicare, and it treated me fine.

I understand the Trump 28 point Ukraine peace plan contained language that said Nazi ideology or activity should be renounced and forbidden. That should only be agreed to if the United States and Russia also agree to it.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it wonāt work. Iāve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

ā¼ļø Friends, this is very important. Please share to whoever this may concern, especially if you are in the United States. Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

Iām on Medicare, so the current ACA debate wonāt affect me directly. But, I was on ACA insurance beforehand. Itās requirements ensured I got good insurance. If you ever have to shop for your own insurance, youāll be fortunate to have something as good. Whether youād be able to get it, I donāt know.

CNN reports that only 2% of the 600+ people arrested without probable cause or warrants in the Chicagoland area in violation of a standing court order had any criminal records at all. The idea that these are the worst people on the planet only makes sense if you see them as Nazis saw Jews in 1940.

I suspect MAGA resistance to continuing ACA subsidies in their current form is less about the subsidy formula and cap, and more about undermining the ACA in general. They want to chip away until itās ineffective. The same approach as many other programs and policies.

If the federal government gets deficits, taxes, and inflation policy right, interest rates would likely lower & affect monthly mortgage payments more than a 50 year mortgage would. The latter is an awful deal.

We donāt believe that a $2000 tariff check will happen. Supposing it did, half of it would be reimbursement for money (a tax) consumers paid for goods. It wouldnāt help with the damage done to businesses though. The budget deficit improvement from tariffs would be more than reversed too.

Given the lifetime of debt and total amount of interest you would pay for the 50 year mortgage, versus a small change in the mortgage payment, what a bad deal.

The media may be doing a poor job explaining whatās going on with the ACA subsidy controversy in Congress. For instance, what degree of subsidy are they arguing about? Is it for people earning over a certain income? How does it affect low earners? Perhaps they need to agree to a new income ceiling ?

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."
