When it comes to electoral politics, there’s one question political science can’t help us with much: what happens when a flailing regime throws millions off their healthcare while cutting taxes for the worst and richest humans ever to fleece this earth? We have no data. It’s never happened before.

But in the meantime, @protectourcare.org will have to update their report from last week from "over 5 million" to "Over 6.4 million." www.protectourcare.org/wp-content/u...

The reasons given by the Trump Regime for the 2.6M (and counting) ACA enrollees who had already lost coverage just 2 months into the year is that it's all supposedly due to "waste, fraud and abuse." This is their response to everything. I'll be writing about the report itself separately.

@weeknightmsnow.bsky.social @allinwithchris.bsky.social @lastwordmsnow.bsky.social @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social @deadlinewh.bsky.social @msnowreports.bsky.social @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @abcnewslive.bsky.social @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @raskin.house.gov

While the number is less than the prior assumption, it's actually worse...because net enrollment has continued to drop off *since* February across the states I have data for...and especially because the ACA includes a 90-day grace period, which likely means an even sharper drop from March to April.

TODAY, the actual internal report was published by the Assistant Secretary for Planning & Evaluation (ASPE) division of the HHS Dept...and while the 19.2 million figure is accurate, it turns out that the *as of* date was 3 months earlier, in FEBRUARY. This amounts to a 12.1% net drop vs. Feb. 2025.

Last month, @notus.com reported on internal CMS documents admitting that effectuated ACA marketplace enrollment had dropped ~17% from the 23.1M Open Enrollment Period plan selection tally, which would put it at ~19.2M as of April...down 13.5% year over year. acasignups.net/26/05/12/bre...

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: It's worse than I thought! The Trump regime just published a new report officially stating that #ACA enrollment had ALREADY plummeted by over 2.6 million people as of FEBRUARY. This is worse than the prior assumption of 3.0M losing coverage thru April. acasignups.net/26/06/26/bre...

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Republicans are running circles around Democrats with vetting this cycle & it’s getting fucking embarrassing. www.freep.com/story/news/p...

A really good example of this is how the left screamed that Biden was against M4A when in reality he said he would veto it IF it raised taxes on the working class, caused people to lose access to their current healthcare, or became a tool of racial discrimination.

Across 13 states so far, preliminary 2027 individual market rate filing requests are averaging 16.1%.

Good thing a bunch of news orgs didnt go out yesterday and just mindless parrot what the admin said on this without any context, right? 😐

So what he’s saying is that Washington DC is a sanctuary city for white collar criminals, and he wants to keep it that way.

This has it exactly backwards. For decades, the GOP sold their abortion restrictions with various exceptions in a transparent attempt to win over stupid centrist voters who thought abortion was icky but also didn't want to hurt mothers, rape victims, etc.

One billionaire from Florida bought BOTH Mackinac Island ferry companies and guess what? They’re raising prices, and threatening to cut off service completely if they can’t. We need to crack down on corporate greed, promote competition, and break up monopolies that put profits ahead of people.

Anyway, this cycle they're running for office again...and they actually just sent me a FUNDRAISING TEXT MESSAGE. 👀 #ChutzpahRedefined

🧵 ICE agents threaten poll worker in Syracuse. She said she has no intention of signing it or removing her social media posts. Perry Grossman, a lawyer for the New York Civil Liberties Union, told syracuse.com that the behavior was designed to be a “scare tactic.” www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

some people just hate the US constitution. and it hates them back, believe me.

Wonder why Trump bailed on signing our housing affordability bill into law this week? Well, this and because he wants to kick millions of American citizens off the voter rolls to rig the November election for himself.

Hopefully these Pennsylvanians will understand what they need to do to lower their medical costs and guarantee their coverage.

Overall, this means that Pennsylvania ACA enrollees are paying $1,200 more apiece on average for healthcare expenses than they did in 2025.

On average, the ~440,000 Pennsylvanians who have managed to cling to their coverage so far this year are paying 34% higher net premiums *and* an estimated 25% higher out of pocket costs. Combined, that's around 30% more in healthcare expenses than in 2025.

HOWEVER, that has done little to stave off the attrition since January: Effectuated enrollment as of June is *down* over 7% y/y, with 35,000 fewer Pennsylvanians enrolled as of today than last June. acasignups.net/26/05/11/pen...

Thanks to #PremiumAlignment pricing, ACA *plan selections* actually *increased* by 1% year over year in the Keystone State. acasignups.net/25/11/12/the...

🚨🚨 On the one hand, #PENNSYLVANIA actually saw a slight *increase* in ACA enrollment early this year, and both net premiums & out of pocket expenses went up less than most states. On the other hand, "less" is a relative term, and enrollment is *down* 7.3% as of June. acasignups.net/26/06/26/how...

“In an era of far-right extremism, rising antisemitism, political violence and outrage media, the story of Alan Berg’s murder bears many tragically familiar qualities.” coloradonewsline.com/2026/06/18/w...

To be clear, this is a *different, second* DSA person who won on Tuesday that posted antisemitic bullshit. I realize it can be hard to keep up these days.
