Please, please, please, please try to run for another term.

Please.

There won't be any "running" in the traditional sense. Because there won't be an election in the traditional sense.

Those days are gone.  The Republic is gone.  Get used to it.

Wayfair order arrived I see. 

 

Now why would a guy who is term limited before the next election and census feel the need to do this?  Why???

2026 midterms. in a world where americans turn rational (lol) and elect a congress not comprised of sycophantic pieces of shit with no sense of decency or self-respect, 2027 and 2028 are going to be incredibly uncomfortable.

Sure, if we hold an actual election, and it's not called off because of some "emergency."  Every single thing I can do in defiance of the regime, I will.  But I have no illusions that my vote will be counted, that it will matter in the big picture, etc.  There are 100 different plays to make elections not happen/be irrelevant.  And the GQP is running every one of those plays simultaneously.

Unfortunately “eating the tariffs” was an all time brain dead move in a post fact feels and vibes society

It completely ceded the narrative to Trump who regardless of the details can now say, “they ate them and now they are not…it’s not me and my policies hurting you it is XYZ retailer”

Every tariff rambling and action should have been followed with immediate price pain on the shelves of America’s retailers.

Appears that the federal govt has interns from 4chan in charge of their social media channels. Personally I would be embarrassed if my employer's posts had this vibe. Then again maybe that part of the goal, to embarrass professionals in govt to get them to quit.

It's only a matter of time before one of them drop the n-word in a post. It will be described a regrettable error but zero apologies will be given.

Yeah, we are a (relatively) small real estate development and management company, but ANY social media/media/linkedin post referencing the company or any of our projects HAS to go through our legal before being posted.  Because, you know, you don't want us to look bad.  But again, racism is cool to these folks.

Masked and armored “ice agents” are going to bar people from entering Dem polling stations “to prevent illegals from voting” and polls will close and Trump appointed judges won’t order them open again.

An extremely irritated Gavin Newsom, this having caused him to lose the election, has Stephen Miller as a guest on his podcast to discuss the pros and cons.

Oh yeah, but keep going.  They're going to flood the zone with 100 different tactics.  People and the law can't stop them all.  That's the plan.  How do we know?  They have fucking SAID SO.

Stupid enough that an Indian dude living in Canada can create an AI bot to manipulate them.

https://vancouversun.com/news/ottawa-man-ai-bot-maga

Singh’s accounts are part of an army of AI bots that have created an information ecosystem in support of Trump and the Republican Party on X. In the lead-up to last year’s presidential election, researchers at Clemson University identified a network of more than 680 AI-generated bot accounts on X that were pushing Trump’s agenda.

Singh, who moved to Ottawa in 2019 from Minnesota, claims he is not a propagandist, but a “technologist” who wants to show how AI can be leveraged for public relations. He said he would be open to working for campaigns across the political spectrum.

He added that he “does not discriminate” and that “the technology can help anyone.” But his known accounts have targeted progressive politicians and sought to aid conservative ones so far.

I mean, it's fun to watch and all but eventually it's cringey and then you remember that his wife is home with 3 kids and he's going to jail.

On a somewhat related note, I can't believe anyone votes on election day if they have the option not to.

I'm kind of shocked we still have early voting in Texas.

It will be voided, by "executive order" or some shit, before the 2026 election.

I am as well, at least in urban areas. The GQP has been testing the electrified fence, and doesn't seem to realize SCOTUS has turned it off. If they were smart, and not just depraved, they would've rescinded early voting in the 10 largest counties, because reasons, and been prepared to fast track a challenge on that to 6 of 9. They'll eventually get there, or somewhere as nefariously effective. In that vein, I have no confidence that the 24th amendment would be enforced.

I doubt they do away with early voting. I’d bet the numbers favor the republicans between both options. People with money tend to have more free time in their day with their work than poorer people.  If it was a democratic leaning voting option it would have been gone 20 years ago. The Republican Party will just continue to make it harder in low income areas in cities while easier for rich people and rural people.

Price controls.

Seems kinda socialistic.   I thought that was something the GOP was against.

Arkansas Governor Seeks to Block Health Insurance Rate Hikes

 

Quote

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she would oppose premium increases from health insurers including Centene Corp., an early sign of the political maneuvering that’s likely to follow instability in insurance markets.

Some companies are requesting average rate increases of more than 50%, according to the Arkansas Insurance Department.

Sanders appears to be pinning the blame for rate increases on insurers, while the hikes are in part due to uncertainty about whether congressional Republicans will allow financial support for Affordable Care Act plans to lapse.

 

 

Quote

Sanders, a Republican and one-time spokesperson for President Donald Trump, called on the state insurance commissioner to “reject these insane rate increases” and named Centene and Blue Cross Blue Shield in a statement late Wednesday.

Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield said its rate request was in line with what other insurers nationally were seeking and cited rising costs for hospital care, surgeries and prescription drugs.

 

Spoiler

A representative for Centene didn’t immediately have a comment. The Arkansas insurance department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. 

People who get coverage through the ACA markets, also known as Obamacare, are likely to face steep premium increases next year. Some of the tax credits that insulate many people from the full cost of their premiums are expected to lapse, adding more uncertainty to markets where insurers already say expenses are rising faster than they expected. Democrats in Congress broadly support extending the Biden-era subsidies, while Republicans have opposed them.

If the tax credits expire and plans become more expensive, healthier people who have lower medical expenses will stop buying plans, leaving the insurers responsible for a sicker pool of patients, experts say. That means the cost of medical care per enrollee will increase.

Insurance companies’ proposed rates, which must be approved by state regulators, in many cases assume the subsidies won’t be extended. The federal government is also cracking down on fraud and improper enrollments which have distorted some state insurance markets, changes that are driving up premiums.

Nationally, ACA insurers want to raise premiums by a median of 18%, according to an analysis of state rate filings from health policy group KFF, more than double the rate last year. 

Insurers including Centene, UnitedHealth Group Inc., Oscar Health Inc. and Molina Healthcare Inc. have withdrawn or lowered their earnings guidance this year, as medical costs outpace projections. Plans are requesting 20% to 30% increases on average in Affordable Care Act marketplaces as they seek to recover profit margins, Barclays analyst Andrew Mok wrote in a research note Tuesday, with the largest increases sought by Cigna Group, Centene and UnitedHealth.

Surly architectural digest.  How would you decorate a plantation style white house ?  IKEA and Crate and Barrel 2?  Maybe some Michael Jordan Posters and Olen Mills?   Mitch Cumstein’s wife to the red decorator’s phone.
