They already thought about it. The visibly damaging provisions will start rolling in 2027. They will try to blame Democrats for it, and that is why ACA should be repealed.

This is why it’s so important to come out ahead and set your conservative friends’ expectation so they can’t turn it around and say “see, nothing happened” or “I’m losing insurance, because Democrats won midterms”

I could be wrong, but the way it normally was working is that we were sending Ukraine our old stock that was about to expire and the money that supposedly was allocated for Ukraine was actually spent on replacing our stock.

There was no more new money approved since trump took office so to me it looks like it is another way of saying that the leftover support (allocated under Biden) is ending.

I find it upsetting that from all things trump made sure to start with anti air defense, as Russia is performing bigger and bigger attacks on civilians. All that after lamenting about innocent people dying. I guess he only meant Russian soldiers.

Sanctions are also only 2 weeks away

I am bad at this, I only recognize Charles Manson, so I get the joke, but I’m still curious who are the other 8?

This shows that waiting to 2026 and hoping that Dems will take over Congress is really pointless. They won’t acknowledge and certify any results that aren’t their people.

At this point we either fight or accept end of US as a democracy.

Yeah, it also looks like it actually increased participation in LA, which the ICE, NG and Marines supposed to scare

A lot of them took their flags down and sit quiet.

Afraid to admit they were wrong.

Exactly, people were talking about controlled opposition and it looks like it is true.

If they thought he was so left he had no chance they would just laugh or even ignore (which normally they did not pay attention to primaries).

He probably is not aware of it, but with that move he ruined years of US trying to align itself with India.

India does not see itself as a peer next to Pakistan. Suggesting that US (or anybody) would meditate peace talks with Pakistan was extremely insulting to India.

I hope this means the next round of protests hits the 10 million people mark.

I hope so too, but they picked July 17, middle of the week. Women’s march decided to still organize protest on July 4th, which is better but still many perks might be out of town (there were more people on April 5 than on 19th for example)

I understand symbolism, but why not be practical?

Also wasn’t the number from June 14 13.14 million?

That’s not what no kings protest showed.

Edit: the source is Twitter post

Edit 2: so after searching the text I found article on Politico mentioning it (they mention Stack Data Strategy, but no link to the pool) also the screenshot conveniently omits the next paragraph

(Another caveat: This poll was in the field for almost three weeks, but ended just before the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles that provoked Trump to send in the National Guard. It’s untested how those events affected voters’ views.)

TACO had the highest ratio of approved appointees, even though he had the most insane ones.

Maybe the next protests should be organized next to their homes.

They had the same at SpaceX

Insurance guy. The healthcare is what he was denying.

It raises above. Any news needs time to spread.

Apparently 70-80% of Americans live from paycheck to paycheck.

This is why safety nets are important. In US you can lose your job, not get unemployment and lose access to doctor.

Look for example at Ramapo 58 district:

Harris only got a single vote in a district that historically votes for Democrats. What are the odds. But maybe Democrats just lost popularity.

But then look at Senate

https://app.enhancedvoting.com/results/public/rockland-county-ny/elections/GE2024Results/ballot-items/01000000-4482-4645-ce33-08dcf2403026?st=ramapo+58&sv=ramapo+58&sm=name

Now democratic candidate wins by 94.12% what are the odds?

And this is not a single district, there are many others like that.

Frankly after election there are two things that bugged me in California. There was a proposition that removed mandatory work requirement for inmates comparing it to a modern day slavery. There was no one who was willing to endorse vote against it (I suppose due to optics) yet the proposition failed.

When he visited CA after fires were already put down and made that spectacle with water dam, he also mentioned that he had a good feeling about next election.

I have a feeling that maybe CA voting is also compromised and this was a test for California, as trump winning here would be extremely suspicious, but no one will care about this proposition.
