After losing all 3 branches of power in 2024, progressive Democrats are hungry for the opportunity to reshape the party along ideological, generational and other factional lines in 2026. Fueled by an increasing anger among Democratic voters and a splintered Republican base, the possibility of a Democratic-controlled house looks increasingly likely for 2027. How might that thwart the success of President Donald Trump's second half agenda? USA TODAY Chief Political Correspondent Phillip M. Bailey joins The Excerpt to talk about the new political calculus in Washington.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Excessive cell phone use and poor sleep patterns often go hand in hand. But aside from the physiological and mental health impact, Christians must also become aware of the spiritual significance of sleep.In this episode, Scott and Shawn continue the journey of learning to think like Jesus by looking at the problem of sleep deprivation in our digital age from the standpoint of what God tells us about the importance of sleep. They uncover that, beyond just meeting our daily need for rest, sleep is a gift from God that teaches us important truths about who he is and what his ultimate desire is for us as his children.

We interrupt these interruptions to bring you a website that I didn't know existed until right before Thanksgiving. When you see it, remember, women in the US voted in 2020 and 2024 to support this because the administration who supported it promised to protect abortion. We might get back to the USAIDs coup or UN Women tonight, but probably not because I'm going off on this.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Republicans pushing solutions to America's cost-of-living problems, Great Britain scrapping jury trials for many criminal cases, and the approaching implosion of Social Security.First, they applaud Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy for highlighting that the cost of living is too high for many Americans, especially in housing, grocieries, and medical care. In his Wall Street Journal op-ed, Sheehy dismisses Democrats' strategy of pouring more money into every problem and instead calls for deregulation, health-care price transparency, and other market-based reforms.Next, they blast the British government for eliminating jury trials for defendants likely to face three years or less in prison if convicted. The excuse is that there is a huge backlog in British courts. Jim and Greg blast the lefties in the UK for this attack on a fundamental part of western justice and point to ways this change could easily be used to punish political opponents of the current government.Finally, they react to stark projections that Social Security could collapse in just eight years without serious reform. Both parties have ignored the problem for decades. The left will eventually want to raise taxes, and no one will want reduced benefits. Jim says Congress missed a good opportunity to help fix this problem twenty years ago. And he points out one other group to blame for the problem getting so bad.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout.  For a limited time, try OneSkin for 15% off with code 3ML at https://OneSkin.co/3ML — please support our show and mention we sent you!

She criticizes the proposal to send $2,000 checks, noting this Keynesian approach boosts demand, which, without increased supply, risks raising prices further.

He finds that the middle class is better off: women's earnings are up 120%, and men's are up 40–50%.

The TRUE Cost of Living In Michigan! - You ever scroll Zillow and see a Michigan house pop up and think, “There's no way that place costs that little!” Then someone chimes in, “Yeah… until your car insurance and property tax bill show up.” Both of them are right. Michigan is a financial paradox—you get more house, more land, and more lifestyle for your money, but some sneaky expenses can catch you off guard.In this video, I'm breaking down the real cost of living in Michigan in 2025 — housing, property taxes, utilities, insurance, groceries, income levels, and what it actually costs to buy a home here from start to finish. I'll walk you through a full home-buying example in Rochester Hills, Michigan, breaking down down payments, closing costs, lender fees, and what you'll really pay per month once you factor in utilities, taxes, and insurance.Whether you're relocating to Michigan or just wondering how far your dollar really goes here, this deep dive will show you everything you need to know about life (and the bills) in the Mitten State.

Call it what you like — sleep deprivation/sleep recession/The Exhaustion Economy —but when you're not getting enough sleep as a parent, it's sheer torture. And when actor Keira Knightley named it for the hell it is, every parent felt it in their (tired) bones. This week, we’re unpacking the long-haul burnout that comes with parenting — and the societal shrug that keeps it invisible. Meanwhile, if you think your parenting Group Chats are delivering chaos, you're not alone. Amelia (ever the secret Nicole) has three golden rules to survive them, while Monz is rolling out the five parent archetypes you’ll absolutely recognise.

Retirement planning is an ever-evolving process, and staying informed about changes to Social Security, Medicare, and tax limits is crucial to making the most of your golden years. On this episode of Retire with Ryan, I'm sharing important updates on the 2026 Social Security cost of living adjustment (COLA), projected changes to Medicare Part B premiums, and strategies for managing income in retirement.  The newly announced cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2026 will see benefit checks rise by 2.8%. I break down how the yearly adjustments are calculated, why they matter for seniors, and the impact of inflation on Social Security. I also discuss the expected jump in Medicare Part B premiums, what IRMAA means for higher-income retirees, and important changes to the Social Security wage base and retirement earnings limits.  Whether you're thinking about when to start your benefits or you want to strategize your retirement income, this episode will give you practical tips and resources to help you make the most of your retirement planning.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). [02:54] COLA trends and historical adjustments. [04:48] Social Security benefit updates. [10:56] Social Security earnings limit explained. [11:56] Social Security and Medicare updates. What to Expect from Social Security COLA for 2026 After a brief delay caused by a government shutdown, the Social Security Administration (SSA) announced that benefit checks will rise by 2.8% beginning January 2026. This increase is slightly higher than last year's 2.5% and a bit less than the 2024 bump of 3.2%. While not the largest adjustment in history, any increase helps seniors keep pace with the rising costs of essentials like groceries, taxes, and insurance. How is COLA Calculated? SSA bases COLA changes on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), specifically by comparing the average index for each month in the third quarter of one year to the same period in the previous year. Since 1972, this approach has pegged benefit adjustments to actual inflation, providing a more predictable and timely increase for beneficiaries. Beneficiaries will receive details about their new benefit amounts in early December. Medicare Part B Premiums The base premium for Medicare Part B is predicted to rise from $185 to approximately $206.50 per month in 2026, a significant increase of roughly 11.6%. Final figures will be released later, but even preliminary estimates suggest a noticeable impact, especially for fixed-income retirees. Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) may add further costs to your Medicare premiums if your income exceeds certain thresholds. For 2026, your IRMAA status will be determined by your 2024 tax return, due to a two-year lag in income reporting. Higher earners could see premiums up to $443.90 per month, so it's critical to strategize IRA distributions and capital gains to avoid unnecessary surcharges. If your financial situation changes, such as a recent retirement, you may appeal IRMAA charges using Form SSA-44. Ryan Morrissey recommends reviewing prior episodes and his blog for more on appealing IRMAA. Social Security Taxes and Retirement Income Limits The maximum wage base for Social Security taxes will jump to $184,500 in 2026 (up from $176,100), meaning any income above this threshold won't be subject to Social Security tax.  Retirees collecting Social Security before full retirement age must monitor their earned income. For 2026, the limit rises to $24,480. Earnings above this cut-off will reduce your Social Security benefit by $1 for every $2 earned. Once you reach your full retirement year, the earnings limit increases sharply to $65,160, and after your birthday, there's no limit. The latest updates to Social Security and Medicare reflect ongoing efforts to help retirees keep pace with inflation and evolving economic conditions. Successful retirement isn't just about knowing the numbers, it's about strategizing your income to minimize taxes, avoid excess premiums, and maximize your benefits.  Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact   Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

As the U.S. government shutdown enters its third week, the Senate faces yet another series of failed votes, progressive leaders Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez refuse to compromise on healthcare funding, while Americans nationwide report mounting financial pressure. A new Guardian–Harris poll reveals that nearly three-quarters of U.S. households have seen costs rise by at least $100 a month despite President Trump's claims that “prices are down.” Inflation, tariffs, and economic pessimism are dominating the national mood.
