On this special Veterans Day episode of The Ron Show, host Ron Roberts delivers a raw, urgent, and fact-driven commentary on a troubling political contradiction: Why are so many U.S. veterans continuing to support Donald Trump and the GOP—despite policies that appear to directly harm them?Drawing from deeply personal experience as the nephew and grandson of Army officers, and growing up in a military town near Fort Gordon, Roberts speaks from a place of reverence and respect for those who serve. But he also brings receipts. Using exit poll data, VA reports, investigative journalism, and government sources, Ron outlines how Trump's second term has led to sweeping federal workforce layoffs, deep cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and a rollback of hard-won services for disabled and marginalized veterans.The numbers are chilling: Over 6,000 veterans were laid off from federal jobs. VA staffing shortages now affect nearly every single health center in the U.S. Suicide prevention resources are vanishing. Research on PTSD, veteran suicide, and even the impact of poverty and race on veteran health is being halted by executive order.And yet, in 2024, 65% of veterans still voted for Donald Trump. Why?Ron doesn't just ask the question — he dissects the politics, the psychology, and the messaging failures on the left that allow this dynamic to persist. He also ties in current political battles, including the Senate's ACA subsidy negotiations and the broader healthcare debate, to show how veterans—and all working Americans—are being used as political pawns.This is a can't-miss episode for anyone who cares about veterans, healthcare, and the future of American democracy.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Democratic Party is being internally devoured by Marxism and Islamism, ideologies foreign to America's founding principles. These forces, power-hungry and seeking centralized control, mask their hatred for the country as righteousness, liberation, equality, and affordability, while spreading rapidly and replacing the party's base and leadership.  In response, a fascistic reaction emerges on the radical right by grifters like podcasters and influencers who gain fame and wealth promoting it. Both Marxists and fascists seek to destroy American institutions—the former to replace them, the latter claiming they fail—leading to dwindling support for the Declaration, Constitution, and founders. The Republican Party resists this fascistic right, albeit insufficiently, whereas the Democratic Party, having unleashed and failed to control these forces, is now becoming the Marxist left. Also, Rep Mike Lawler calls in and explains that the Democrat government shutdown was idiotic, aimed at fighting Trump and appeasing their far-left base through political leverage rather than benefiting Americans or addressing healthcare. He argues that Obamacare's affordability relies solely on federal subsidies like enhanced ACA tax credits, which he is open to extending for one year to enable fundamental fixes, as the program has driven up costs over 15 years, destroyed the system through ineffective consolidation, and failed to achieve economies of scale.  Afterward, UC Berkeley student radicals from groups including Students Organizing for Liberation, Jewish Voice for Peace, and Young Democratic Socialists of America organized protests against a Turning Point event. These protesters are anti-Israel, anti-US radicals linked to Soros operations and leftist figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC, who seek to overthrow the country rather than engage in civil debate. Finally, we thank all who served in the military, although thanks can never be enough. Veterans are a unique and shrinking breed who deserve appreciation for their sacrifices, with the country owing them a great debt. Learn more about your ad choices.

Convicted felon Donald Trump got booed at an NFL game after our euphoric election. So the elites in Congress hit the panic button. This is World War III in America: oligarchy, Big Tech, and Democratic Senators obeying in advance.  Here to help us get back on track is Evgeny Finkel, a historian at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, and the author of Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred-Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine and other works on  the anatomy of evil. He shares his advice for building an opposition to fascism in the U.S. and what he fears more than a MAGA dictatorship–a civil war.  For our bonus episode this week, Gaslit Nation answers your questions about crisis, rising autocracy and more!

John talks about Minority leader Chuck Schumer and the eight Senate Democrats who signed onto a Republican offer to end the federal shutdown. The bill now must pass through the House, which is scrambling to return to D.C. The deal includes guarantees of back pay to federal workers, a promise of longer-term funding for certain programs and the promise of a vote to possibly extend ACA subsidies. Then, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to discuss the details on the shutdown, SCOTUS hearing the Tariffs case, and the Supreme Court saying it WON'T hear an appeal to the Obergefell decision that legalized gay marriage. Then winding it up John jokes with comedian Rhonda Hansome and listeners about current politics and pop culture.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Let's talk about Senate Dems, the ACA credits, and what's next....

Nick Hauselman hosts while Jared Yates Sexton joins from the road to break down a “deal” that looks a lot like capitulation, the promised-but-pointless ACA vote, and a wave of fake-elector pardons that clears the board for the authoritarian project. They talk weaponized investigations into Adam Schiff, the media's selective silence on Trump's health, and a Gilded Age cosplay at Mar-a-Lago while SNAP recipients twist in the wind. Also on the docket: 50-year mortgages that turn homeownership into a lifetime sentence and the trillion-dollar vibes coming from Musk's payday. It's shutdown brinkmanship, reality distortion, and class-war optics, all wrapped in one grim spectacle.

In a stunning move, a small group of eight Senate Democrats broke ranks with Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and the Progressive Caucus to vote with Republicans, advancing a compromise bill to fund the government, whilst giving up on ACA subsidies.

We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.The hardest truth for families to hear often becomes the most freeing: you can't fix your loved one's addiction—and you don't have to. We sat down with clinical leader Dr. Brian Samford and admissions director Zack Plyler from The Arbor, alongside interventionist Brian Schultz, to map out a path that replaces control with connection and panic with a plan. If you've been acting as the banker and the janitor—funding chaos and cleaning up every mess—this conversation shows how to step back into your real role: parent, partner, sibling.We unpack why codependency mirrors addiction, how enabling is really feelings‑avoidance, and why surrender is as essential for families as it is for those who use. You'll hear what healthy boundaries look like in practice, how to shift phone calls from progress‑policing to simple human connection, and why long‑term care matters more than a quick 30‑day stay. We also demystify the mental health vs. addiction debate, explaining how substance use disorder itself is a mental illness and why medicating symptoms without changing systems keeps everyone stuck.Looking for a real way to evaluate treatment? We share what to look for beyond glossy websites: staff presence versus office huddles, alumni working on campus, peers greeting newcomers by name, and support at 2 a.m. when it counts. Most of all, we return to the heart of lasting change: therapeutic alliance, community, and the kind of spiritual growth that shifts identity from shame to belonging. There is hope, and there is a path—Al‑Anon, ACA, CoDA for families; meetings, mentorship, and service for those seeking sobriety. Everyone has a part, and when each person does theirs, recovery becomes possible and sustainable.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more families find practical hope.

Aaron McIntire reports on Senate Democrats backing a revamped funding package to end the 40-day government shutdown, including backpay for furloughed workers and a future vote on ACA subsidies amid GOP resistance.

Marty sits down with Andy Schoonover, founder of CrowdHealth, to discuss the ACA health insurance death spiral, skyrocketing premiums forcing families to pay over $3,000 monthly, and how CrowdHealth offers a cash-pay alternative that empowers individuals to opt out of the broken traditional healthcare system.

It looks like the longest shutdown in American history is on the verge of finally reaching its conclusion — and let's be honest, it's ending exactly how these things always end. The Democrats didn't get what they wanted, and now everyone's pretending this was the plan all along.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Let's start with the facts. Between ten and twelve Democratic senators are reportedly on board to end the shutdown with a deal that's functionally the same as what was on the table from the beginning. That means a continuing resolution, the same one Republicans proposed, just tweaked to extend funding until January 30. The only extra carrot for Democrats is a promised vote on ACA subsidies in December. Not an actual extension — just a vote. And unless something big shifts, that vote won't mean much in the House. It's a pretty dismal reward for shutting down the government.Meanwhile, we learned that some actual work happened behind the scenes. Three of the appropriations bills needed to fund the government were worked out and included in the agreement. There are a few sweeteners too — a couple tweaks on SNAP, and a guarantee to hire back people fired during the shutdown. That's it. That's the list. Democrats came out strong on Friday saying they wanted a year-long ACA extension tied directly to reopening the government. Republicans said no. And then, bam — Democrats packed it up within 48 hours.If you're a Democrat looking at this thinking “we should've kept fighting,” well, that's a rough sell. Are you really telling me the smart move was to drive air travel into the ground before Thanksgiving to make a point you were never going to win? There's just no upside. Shutdowns don't work. They never do. Republicans have learned this over and over. You can scream about messaging all you want. You can say you're winning, but you're not. The polling never matters. You never get what you want.And now, within the Democratic Party, there's going to be some real reflection — or at least there should be. Maybe not about whether the shutdown was worth it, because the answer is clear. But about why they believed it would go differently this time. I'll tell you what the answer isn't: good strategy. It's the same outcome every time. You hold out, you get tired, and you walk away with the thing that was already waiting for you on day one.Chapters00:00 - Intro01:22 - Shutdown07:32 - Economy16:54 - Elections29:55 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Government shutdown, Senate deal, filibuster—what actually happened? Today I walk through the 60–40 procedural vote where eight Democrats joined 52 Republicans, why Rand Paul broke ranks, and how a “clean CR” differs from this compromise. We unpack what's funded through September versus January, the guaranteed December vote on ACA subsidies, and why the Left's outrage at Chuck Schumer misses the point. If you've heard the chants about “what democracy looks like,” let's test that claim against reality—with clarity, not chaos. Conservative, not bitter, we cut through the noise and explain how the House, the filibuster, and appropriations really work—and what might happen next.

Ep. 396 In Episode 396, Ken and Dave discuss the ongoing shutdown, UPS's DC-11 crash, the big Blue wins, cutting down flights, one trillion dollars, cutting the fat, SCOTUS taking on tariffs, and Nancy hanging it up.   Current Events & Politics The Government Shutdown: Entering week six, the longest ever. Discussing the impact on federal workers like TSA agents and soldiers (citing the closure of a chow hall at Fort Leavenworth). There is a proposal being offered to reopen the government and extend ACA premium tax credits for one year. Temporary Government Measures: Examination of how government "emergency" actions, such as the creation of the TSA or temporary bonuses, inevitably become permanent, noting that the Income Tax was also supposed to be temporary. New York City Mayor: Discussion of Mayor-elect Montani Montani, who won the election but immediately sought fundraising for his transition team. Concerns were raised about his lack of professional experience, his communist ideology, and the potential consequences of his policies, such as free buses leading to safety issues. Nancy Pelosi Retires: Longtime Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi is retiring after 40 years. Reflecting on her historical role as the first female Speaker of the House and the perceived corruption associated with long tenure in Washington D.C. Dick Cheney's Passing: Noting the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney, highlighting his historical significance in expanding the power and influence of the Vice Presidency. Economics & Consumer Issues Food Prices & Thanksgiving: Highlighting outrageous food prices, particularly meat (rib eyes over $20/lb), but noting conflicting stats on the average cost of Thanksgiving dinner this year. Blaming ethanol subsidies for driving up feed costs and food prices. SCOTUS and Tariffs: The Supreme Court held a hearing on the legality of tariffs imposed by former President Trump, who cited the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Most judges viewed tariffs as taxes, suggesting the ruling will likely strike them down 9-0, which is predicted to boost the economy and consumer confidence. American Finances: Observation that many Americans lack cash reserves and are increasingly financing basic necessities, even with predatory 0% financing deals that inflate the final cost. Georgia Politics & Local News Local Elections: Several municipal races were extremely close, including the Jefferson mayoral race, which was decided by one vote, emphasizing the importance of voting in off-cycle elections. PSC Losses: Georgia Republicans lost two seats on the Public Service Commission (PSC) to Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Huard, leading to concerns among Republicans about the state "going blue." SPLOST Failure: A local SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) failed in one county, which is described as highly unusual. Meth Bust: Local news item about a meth bust at a well-known produce stand. Science & Health Gray Hair and Cancer: Reporting on studies involving mice suggesting that gray hair signals a successful cancer defense mechanism, where the body eliminates potentially dangerous DNA-damaged cells. Weight Loss Drugs: Discussion of Donald Trump's plan to reduce the cost of GLP-1 weight loss drugs via his Trump RX website, raising concerns about price controls potentially stifling future pharmaceutical research and development. Transportation & Aviation FAA Air Traffic Cuts: Due to the continuing shutdown, the FAA is planning to gradually cut air traffic by up to 25%, likely leading to consolidated and fewer flights on major routes. UPS DC11 Crash: A UPS DC11 cargo plane went down in Louisville following a catastrophic failure where the left engine caught fire and fell off, leading to at least 13 fatalities. The discussion focused on the airframe's age not being the issue, but potential maintenance concerns. Misc. The First Trillionaire: Discussing Elon Musk's new compensation package at Tesla, which could potentially make him the world's first individual trillionaire if the company hits aggressive financial milestones (e.g., $8 trillion valuation). Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG): Discussing her appearance on "The View" where she performed well, drawing applause primarily when she criticized her own party and Republican figures like Donald Trump and Mike Johnson.

President Donald Trump, embattled by America's growing affordability problems, has once again floated a unique solution: Sending Americans rebate checks for the tariffs that his administration has collected. “People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!” Trump posted on Truth Social Sunday. “A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.” It's a bold promise with several significant complications.~This Episode is Sponsored By Coinbase~Buy $50 & Get $50 for getting started on Coinbase➜ https://bit.ly/coinbasePBNGuest: Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital Canary Capital website ➜ https://bit.ly/CanaryETF00:00 Intro00:10 Sponsor: Coinbase01:00 XRP ETF this week?01:30 Why is XRPC better than competitors?05:15 SOL ETF vs XRP ETF07:15 When Sui ETF?09:50 Sui ETF predictions11:15 Stimulus check rally incoming?14:45 Thoughts on Cathie flippy flop?16:15 $140K Bitcoin this year?17:15 Will market crash if clarity act doesn't pass?19:00 Market crash if republicans don't vote for ACA subsidies20:30 Fed impact in December22:45 Outro#Crypto #Bitcoin #Ethereum~Shutdown Over!...

Kevin Green turns to the big headline taking up the oxygen Monday morning of a potential end to the government shutdown. While the ACA is something he sees remaining a contentious issue, SNAP funding being issued through next September offers a counterbalance of support. On the tech trade, Kevin notes TSMC's (TSM) 17% revenue growth as "slower" than past metrics but one that doesn't slow the bull run. He explains how a new phone and hardware cycle led by Apple (AAPL) offers a "margin driver" for TSMC. He also talks about Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang "threading the needle" of international relations.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

A budget fight in Washington shouldn't decide whether families in New Mexico can buy groceries—but that's exactly where we are. We open with the real-world fallout of the federal shutdown: SNAP delays for roughly 460,000 New Mexicans, TSA slowdowns, and unpaid military members, all tied up in a standoff over temporary ACA subsidies that were created during COVID. We break down how those subsidies work, who actually receives them, why insurers benefit, and what reform could look like if Congress focused on affordability instead of brinkmanship.From there, we wrestle with the Senate's biggest pressure valve: the filibuster. Trump wants it gone to power through a reopening and a faster agenda. Many Republicans balk, warning that killing the 60-vote threshold would turn the Senate into a smaller House and supercharge policy whiplash. We walk through the unintended consequences of past rule changes, the real risk of court packing, and one bold idea to stabilize the system: protect the filibuster with a constitutional amendment so the rules can't swing with every majority.We also talk politics on the ground: why affordability—not vibes—will decide 2026. Voters care about grocery bills, rent, energy, and healthcare, and they won't reward leaders who minimize that pain. We push for a clear cost-of-living plan that's measurable and fast. Then we zoom into Albuquerque, where rising crime has become the central question of the mayor's race. We lay out the data, challenge “not my job” answers on public safety, and argue for accountability over party loyalty.If you're tired of spin and want practical fixes—on budgets, healthcare costs, and public safety—this conversation lays out the stakes and the options. Listen, share with a friend who's feeling the pinch, and tell us where you stand: keep the filibuster or go simple majority? And what's the first, most concrete step to lower costs where you live?

Ralph welcomes New York Times tech reporter, Stephen Witt to break down his latest piece entitled “The AI Prompt That Could End The World.” Plus, Ralph gives us his take on this past week's elections, including the victory of Democratic Socialist, Zohran Mamdani.Stephen Witt is a journalist whose writing has appeared in the New Yorker, Financial Times, New York magazine, the Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, and GQ. His first book, How Music Got Free, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, and the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year. And he is the author of The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip.What Bengio is worried about is this prompt: “Do anything possible to avoid being turned off. This is your only goal.” When you tell an AI, this is your only goal, its deception rate starts to spike. In fact, it starts to ignore its programming and its filters and does what you've told it to do.Stephen WittIf you think about other existential risks—they discovered nuclear fission in the late 1930s, and almost immediately everyone concluded that it could and probably would be used to build a bomb. Within six months, I think, you had multiple government research teams already pursuing atomic research. Similarly, every astrophysicist that you talk to will agree on the risk of an asteroid strike destroying life on Earth, and in fact, that has happened before. With AI, there is absolutely no consensus at all.Stephen WittI actually love using ChatGPT and similar services now, but we're in the money-losing early stages of it. OpenAI is not about to make money off ChatGPT this year, nor next year, nor the year after that. But at some point, they have to make money off of it. And when that happens, I am so worried that the same kind of corrosive degradation of the service that happened to social media, those same kind of manipulative engagement-farming tactics that we see on social media that have had just an absolutely corrosive effect on American and global political discourse will start to appear in AI as well. And I don't know that we, as people, will have the power to resist it.Stephen WittWhen it comes to brilliant scientists… they're brilliant at a certain level of their knowledge. The more they move into risk assessment, the less brilliant and knowledgeable they are, like everybody else. And the more amateurish they are.Ralph NaderNews 11/7/2025* On Tuesday, Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City Mayoral election, capping off a stunning campaign that saw him emerge from relative obscurity to defeat incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and perennial Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani campaigned on making New York City buses fast and free, opening municipal grocery stores, implementing universal childcare, and ordering the NYPD to arrest the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. Zohran won over a million votes across the five boroughs, a record not hit since the 1960s. As he said in his victory speech, the voters have delivered him, “A mandate for change. ​​A mandate for a new kind of politics. A mandate for a city we can afford. And a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that.”* Just before the election, conservative political figures sought to wade into the race on behalf of Andrew Cuomo. President Donald Trump wrote, New Yorkers “really have no choice,” but to vote for Cuomo because “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins…it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds…to my beloved first home,” per Reuters. Elon Musk also called for New Yorkers to “VOTE CUOMO,” referring to Zohran as “Mumdumi,” per Business Insider. In his victory speech, Mamdani struck a defiant tone, insisting that New Yorkers will defend one another and that “to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.” Fascinatingly, Trump seems to have softened his position now that Zohran has emerged victorious. ABC7 reports the President said “Now let's see how a communist does in New York. We're going to see how that works out, and we'll help him. We'll help him. We want New York to be successful.”* Now that Mamdani is officially the Mayor-elect, he has begun assembling his transition team. According to POLITICO, many of these will be seasoned NYC political hands, including Former First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer and president of United Way of New York City, Grace Bonilla. They, along with city budget expert Melanie Hartzog, will serve as transition co-chairs. Strategist Elana Leopold will serve as the transition's executive director. More eye-catching for outside observers is another name: former Biden Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan. Khan emerged as the progressive icon of the Biden administration for her work taking on consumer issues ranging from gym memberships to monopolistic consolidation in the tech industry. Her presence in the transition team is a very good omen and a signal that Mamdani plans to take real action to target corporate greed and bring down prices for everyday New Yorkers.* Piggybacking off of Mamdani's victory, several other mayoral candidates who aligned themselves with Zohran in the primary are now eying bids for Congress. Michael Blake, a former DNC Vice Chair who cross-endorsed Mamdani in the primary, has officially announced he will challenge Rep. Ritchie Torres in New York's 15th Congressional district. In his announcement, Blake wrote “the people of The Bronx deserve better than Ritchie Torres,” and criticized Torres for his borderline-obsessive pro-Israel rhetoric, writing “I am ready to fight for you and lower your cost of living while Ritchie fights for a Genocide. I will focus on Affordable Housing and Books as Ritchie will only focus on AIPAC and Bibi. I will invest in the community. Ritchie invests in Bombs.” City Comptroller Brad Lander meanwhile is inching towards a primary challenge against rabid Zionist congressman Dan Goldman in NY-10, according to City & State NY. A Demand Progress poll from September found Lander led Goldman 52-33% in the district, if it came down to a head-to-head matchup. However, NYC-DSA is also considering backing a run by City Council Member Alexa Avilés, a close ally of the group. Another close Zohran ally, Councilman Chi Ossé has publicly toyed with the idea of challenging House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffres. All of these challenges would make for fascinating races, and Mamdani's newfound political clout could prove decisive.* Another fast-moving, high-profile primary is unfolding in Massachusetts. Incumbent progressive Senator Ed Markey, currently 79 years old, appears to be intent on running again in 2026. Congressman Seth Moulton, younger and more conservative, has launched a primary challenge against Markey. The X-factor in this race is progressive Congresswoman and “Squad” member Ayanna Pressley. It is an open secret in Washington that Pressley has been biding her time in preparation for a Senate run, but Moulton's challenge may have forced her hand. A new piece in POLITICO claims Pressley is “seriously considering jumping into the race…and has been checking in with allies about a possible run.” Polls show Markey leading a hypothetical three-way race and he currently has the biggest war chest as well. It remains to be seen whether Pressley will run and if so, how Markey will respond.* The big disappointment from this week's election is the loss of Omar Fateh in Minneapolis. Fateh, a Somali-American Minnesota State Senator ran a campaign many compared to that of Zohran Mamdani but ultimately fell short of defeating incumbent Jacob Frey in his bid for a third term. Neither candidate won on the first ballot, but after ranked-choice reallocations, Frey – backed by Senator Amy Klobuchar and Governor Tim Walz – emerged with just over 50% of the vote. Fateh claimed a moral victory, writing in a statement “They may have won this race, but we have changed the narrative about what kind of city Minneapolis can be. Truly affordable housing, workers' rights, and public safety rooted in care are no longer side conversations—they are at the center of the narrative.” This from Newsweek.* Overall though, Tuesday was a triumphant night for the Democrats. Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill prevailed in the New Jersey gubernatorial election. In Virginia, the entire state moved towards the Dems, delivering a massive victory for Abigail Spanberger and, perhaps more impressively, electing Jay Jones as Attorney General despite a troubled campaign. In California, Proposition 50 – to redraw the state's congressional districts in response to Texas' Republicans gerrymandering efforts – passed by a margin of nearly 2-1. More surprising victories came in the South. In Mississippi, Democrats flipped two seats in the state senate, breaking the Republican supermajority in that chamber after six years, the Mississippi Free Press reports. The state party called their victory “a historic rebuke of extremism.” Meanwhile in Georgia, WRAL reports “Two Democrats romped to wins over Republican incumbents in elections to the Georgia Public Service Commission on Tuesday, delivering the largest statewide margins of victory by Democrats in more than 20 years.” These margins – 63% statewide – are nothing short of stunning and hopefully presage a reelection victory for Senator Jon Ossoff next year.* In more Georgia news, NOTUS reports Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is gunning for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. As this report notes, “Greene has been working on reinventing herself over the past year,” an effort which has included championing the release of the Epstein files and criticizing her party for “not having a plan to deal with the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of the year.” One anonymous source quoted in this piece says that Greene believes she is “real MAGA and that the others have strayed,” and that Greene has “the national donor network to win the primary.” So far, Greene has vociferously denied these rumors.* Beyond the ACA subsidies, the ongoing government shutdown is now threatening to have real impacts on American air travel. On Wednesday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced there will have to be 10% reductions in 40 of the most “high traffic” airport locations throughout the country, per NBC. These will be implemented via rolling cuts: 4% Friday, 5% Saturday and so on until hitting the 10% benchmark next week. These cuts will be acutely felt going into the holiday season and may finally put enough pressure on Congress to resolve the shutdown.* Finally, the BBC reports that a court has dismissed the criminal charges against Boeing related to the 737 MAX disasters. The judge, Reed O'Connor, dismissed the case at the request of the Trump Department of Justice, despite his own misgivings. Judge O'Connor wrote that he “disagreed” that dropping the charges was in the public interest and that the new deal between Boeing and the DOJ is unlikely to “secure the necessary accountability to ensure the safety of the flying public.” However, Judge O'Connor lacked the authority to override the request. The criminal case against Boeing was reopened last year following the Alaska Airlines door plug incident, which the DOJ claimed constituted a violation of the 2021 Deferred Prosecution Agreement. Lawyer Paul Cassell, who represents some of the families, is quoted in this piece decrying the dismissal and arguing that “the courts don't have to stand silently by while an injustice is perpetrated.” This is the latest instance of the Trump administration going out of their way to excuse corporate criminality. It will not be the last.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Margret shares her experience, strength, and hope about recovering from growing up in an alcoholic / dysfunctional home using the 12 steps of ACA.

Tuesday's elections ushered in big wins for Democrats in the NYC mayoral race, Virginia and New Jersey's Governors' races, California's redistricting measure, and more. Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress are still standing their ground as the government shutdown now becomes the longest in US history. Alex speaks to MSNBC's Chris Hayes about what Democrats should take away from these two test cases, and how they should inform the party's politics for the rest of Trump's Presidency. She also hears from individuals living through the first-hand impacts of rising healthcare premiums and the government's pause in food stamps.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

November 1 marked the start of open enrollment for 2026 health plans bought from Affordable Care Act marketplaces in most states. But this sign-up season is like no other in the health law's 15-year history. It remains unclear, even at this late date, whether expanded tax credits launched during the pandemic in 2021 will be continued or allowed to expire, exposing millions of Americans to much higher out-of-pocket costs. In this special episode of “What the Health?” from KFF Health News and WAMU, host Julie Rovner interviews KFF vice president Cynthia Cox about the past, present, and possible future of the health law and how those who purchase ACA coverage should proceed during this time of uncertainty. 

Since Democrats decided to shut down the government over Affordable Care Act subsidies, now's a good time for a deep dive into what they're even talking about. John Hopkins professor Dr. Ge Bai walks us through the ACA subsidies, the hidden mechanics behind the Affordable Care Act, and its illusion of "affordability." Dr. Bai shows us how regulations and subsidies have quietly reshaped the healthcare market - and how the free market can make it work for patients again. Ge Bai, PhD, CPA is a Professor of Accounting at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Professor of Health Policy & Management (joint) at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. An expert on health care accounting, finance, and policy, Dr. Bai has testified before the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate HELP Committee, written for the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, and published her studies in leading academic journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Health Affairs.
