What do Republicans need to do to outperform expectations in the coming midterm elections? According to new polling obtained exclusively by Playbook, the answer may in part rest in touting their support for a facet of Obamacare. Meanwhile, Democrats see a split among progressives in a major House primary today in Arizona, and the party seems to be sounding somewhat MAGA-fied when it comes to the Jeffrey Epstein files. What's going on? Contributing author Adam Wren and chief Playbook correspondent Dasha Burns unpack it all.

In this week's post #July4 podcast the guys discuss #Trump #BigBeautifulBill or as we have dubbed it the big brazen betrayal. Why? Because it has betrayed the majority of the #Americanpeople it has sacrificed our #Childrensfuture it has destroyed the #deficit and #ruleoflaw and has placed our #seniots in harm's way by destroying #longtermcare with the #MedicaidCuts and destruction of #ObamaCare. But hey, at least #Ice will have a big budget. #Texas is underwater after the #TexasFloods that #DogeCuts exacerbated . Cuts to #NOAA and the #NationalWeatherService weren't responsible for the #ClimateChange related severe weather but they are responsible for a large portion of the #FloodDeaths. #ElonMusk and #Trump are having a renewed lover's spat. #JeffreyEpstein is back in the news . According to #PamBondi there's nothing to see. We know better. It looks like #Diddy beat the case and will serve almost no time given what he was charged with. America , we hardly knew ye.  #Hanover #Pennsylvania #PennsylvaniaTurnpike #HanoverPretzels

Quienes pidieron una auditoría en el SENASA ya están complacidos. La presidenta de la Cámara de Cuentas informa que se están realizando dos auditorias en la aseguradora pública. Hay que decir que ni antes ni ahora la Cámara de Cuentas ha realizado auditorías a petición popular. La cultura del órgano es planificar el trabajo de un año a partir de una serie de prioridades. Una de las mejores formas de entender este proceso es el título que dio el órgano del estado a las auditorías que se hicieron en las entidades investigadas en los cuatro grandes casos de corrupción que están en los tribunales y que se llaman investigaciones especiales a requerimiento del ministerio público.Como ya se anunció que se audita el SENASA habrá que esperar los resultados.En el camino está la data disponible en la Superintendencia de salud y riesgos laborales, la mentada Silsaril, que establece claramente lo que ha pasado en la aseguradora publica. Entre agosto y diciembre de 2020, el régimen subsidiado de Senasa aumentó un 45.5%, afiliando a dos millones de ciudadanos y pasando de 3,958,495 a 5,762,249 asegurados. Este incremento causó un déficit de 2,381.5 millones de pesos en 2024 y 1,640 millones en 2023. El régimen contributivo cubrió parte de estas pérdidas, resultando en un déficit total de 2,077.9 millones en 2024, aunque en 2023 hubo utilidades de 593.1 millones.El alboroto de los políticos opositores  es bueno porque obliga al gobierno a pisar fino y dejar de financiar su política de aseguramiento total a costa de la estabilidad de la aseguradora pública que hasta ahora fue un modelo hasta para el Obama Care.Pero… por otro lado está la capitalización del discurso por parte de las aseguradoras privadas que son insaciables.El trabajo de la fundación Juan Bosch que se presentó hace unos días y que le compartí en el canal del whatsapp indica que sólo en 2024, las cuatros principales ARS privadas, que cuenta con 2 millones de usuarios, obtuvieron ingresos valorados en casi 50 mil millones de pesos. En contraste, el régimen subsidiado, con casi seis millones de afiliados, recibió 17 mil millones, pero tuvo que gastar 19 mil millones. La política del gobierno de Abinader eliminó a los independientes que pueden pagar un seguro y metió a titirimundachi en el regimen subsidiado. Habrá una parte que no lo usa pero hay otra que si gastará de lo de todos a pesar de tener lo suyo.

Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America by Ann Coulter. French Revolution chapter 6 All of Ann Coulter's Books are a must have on every Conservatives' bookshelf. Buy them Today... All of them!   The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrates mobs—it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.   In her most provocative book to date, Ann Coulter argues that liberals exhibit all the psychological characteristics of a mob, for instance:   Liberal Groupthink: “The same mob mentality that leads otherwise law-abiding people to hurl rocks at cops also leads otherwise intelligent people to refuse to believe anything they haven't heard on NPR.” Liberal Schemes: “No matter how mad the plan is—Fraternité, the ‘New Soviet Man,' the Master Race, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Building a New Society, ObamaCare—a mob will believe it.” Liberal Enemies: “Instead of ‘counterrevolutionaries,' liberals' opponents are called ‘haters,' ‘those who seek to divide us,' ‘tea baggers,' and ‘right-wing hate groups.' Meanwhile, conservatives call liberals ‘liberals'—and that makes them testy.” Liberal Justice: “In the world of the liberal, as in the world of Robespierre, there are no crimes, only criminals.” Liberal Violence: “If Charles Manson's followers hadn't killed Roman Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, Clinton would have pardoned him, too, and he'd probably be teaching at Northwestern University.”   Citing the father of mob psychology, Gustave Le Bon, Coulter catalogs the Left's mob behaviors: the creation of messiahs, the fear of scientific innovation, the mythmaking, the preference for images over words, the lack of morals, and the casual embrace of contradictory ideas. Coulter traces the history of the liberal mob to the French Revolution and Robespierre's revolutionaries (delineating a clear distinction from America's founding fathers), who simply proclaimed that they were exercising the “general will” before slaughtering their fellow citizens “for the good of mankind.” Similarly, as Coulter demonstrates, liberal mobs, from student radicals to white-trash racists to anti-war and pro-ObamaCare fanatics today, have consistently used violence to implement their idea of the “general will.” This is not the American tradition; it is the tradition of Stalin, of Hitler, of the guillotine—and the tradition of the American Left. As the heirs of the French Revolution, Democrats have a history that consists of pandering to mobs, time and again, while Republicans, heirs to the American Revolution, have regularly stood for peaceable order. Hoping to muddy this horrifying truth, liberals slanderously accuse conservatives of their own crimes—assassination plots, conspiracy theorizing, political violence, embrace of the Ku Klux Klan. Coulter shows that the truth is the opposite: Political violence—mob violence—is always a Democratic affair. Surveying two centuries of mob movements, Coulter demonstrates that the mob is always destructive. And yet, she argues, beginning with the civil rights movement in the sixties, Americans have lost their natural, inherited aversion to mobs. Indeed, most Americans have no idea what they are even dealing with.             Only by recognizing the mobs and their demonic nature can America begin to defend itself.

Jen Psaki looks back at how Democrats made Republicans pay for their efforts to kill Obamacare by making that a central focus of House races that ultimately flipped the House to Democratic control. Donald Trump's budget bill is so wildly unpopular that Democratic candidates are already preparing to run against the bill and anyone who supported it. Republicans, in the meantime, are busy trying to distract Americans from what they're doing.

Julie Rovner, chief Washington correspondent at KFF Health News and host of the What the Health? podcast, talks about the House and Senate budget bills and what they would mean for Americans' access to healthcare.

Trump's Budget Bill Passes with Major Implications (01:00:44 – 01:01:08)Trump's omnibus budget bill is passed with tie-breaking vote from VP J.D. Vance. Criticized for its scale, hidden provisions, and $5 trillion debt ceiling increase. Ted Cruz AI Provision Overwhelmingly Rejected (01:03:10 – 01:05:08)Cruz's attempt to ban state AI regulations for 10 years is struck down 99–1. Critics call it unconstitutional and a big tech giveaway, highlighting bipartisan opposition. ICE Mask Ban Proposal and Immigration Enforcement Critique (01:56:26 – 01:58:55)Proposed legislation would ban ICE agents from wearing masks during raids. Critics warn of thuggish optics and rights violations, while ICE defends anonymity for safety. CDC Withdraws Support for Thimerosal Flu Shots (02:07:21 – 02:14:09)The CDC advisory panel recommends flu vaccines without thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative. Critics warn of long-standing health concerns, industry cover-ups, and lack of accountability despite years of injury reports. COVID Mortality Attributed to Policy Failures (02:39:05 – 02:42:56)A 400-page study concludes excess COVID deaths were caused by hospital protocols and mistreatment rather than viral spread, implicating government and medical policy in preventable fatalities. Grace Shara Lawsuit and Hospital Accountability (03:03:29 – 03:09:04)Coverage of the Grace Shara euthanasia case alleges she was killed under COVID protocols. Despite evidence and a public trial, the jury ruled in favor of the hospital, sparking public outrage. Legal Barriers and Financial Incentives in COVID-era Care (03:14:19 – 03:19:40)The lawsuit reveals that protocols, high payouts for ventilator use, and legal immunity laws created a system that incentivized patient deaths and silenced dissent via gag orders. Obamacare, Vaccine Laws, and Federal Legal Structures (03:34:20 – 03:37:41)Describes how U.S. law codified medical euthanasia and vaccine-induced harm through Obamacare and 1980s statutes. Claims these measures are legally satanic but not lawful. Nurse Admits Secretly Injecting Babies Against Parents' Will (03:42:01 – 03:43:53)A labor and delivery nurse confesses online to secretly vaccinating newborns despite parental refusal, believing she was protecting them. The story is used to show systemic betrayal of medical ethics.

Note: This episode was recorded before the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. Today, we discuss poverty, the social detriments of health, and safety net programs in the U.S. with Robert Greenstein, founder and former president of the D.C.-based think tank Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP). Bob is one of America's leading experts on federal budget, tax policy and safety net programs. Odds are that you or someone you know got more services from the government—health insurance, financial help, food assistance—because of Bob's life work. Over the past 40 years, he has worked tirelessly to address poverty in U.S. and help make healthcare accessible to all. Bob and CBPP played a major role in expanding our nation's nutritional programs like SNAP (a.k.a. food stamps) and WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. He and the CBPP helped expand the earned income tax credit (EITC) for low- and moderate-income families. And he and the organization helped get Obamacare passed and continue to defend it and Social Security from all comers. ◘ Transcript bit.ly/3JoA2mz ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

Recently, Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak sent out an email seeking to debunk what she describes as myths when it comes to proposed changes to the Medicaid program. She argues that the program isn't being cut, but rather just being slowed in its growth. But wherever you come down on that debate, the fact that she's prompted to make these arguments is politically significant. On this episode of Plain Talk, my co-host Chad Oban and I talked about that, in the context of one of Fedorchak's predecessors, former Rep. Earl Pomeroy, trying to explain his vote in favor of Obamacare. Oban pointed out that while Fedorchak is disputing the claims that Medicaid is being cut, some Republicans, including Mehmet Oz, the Trump administration's administrator for Medicare and Medicaid services, are calling them cuts. "The problem that she has is it's not just people like me who are saying it's Medicaid cuts," Oban said. "You're like, well, these aren't cuts, but when someone on your own side is referring to them as cuts, you're losing that war," he continued. We also discussed the NDGOP's on-going District 25 debacle, and what the proposed sell-off of federal lands means for Interior Secretary Doug Burgum's political trajectory. Also on this episode, Matt Briney, chief communications officer for the Theodore Roosevelt President Library, talks about the progress on the project. "We're looking forward to welcoming everybody July 4th, 2026 when we will open to the public." Public funding for the project has drawn some criticism, but Briney pointed out that only "about 11% of the project is funded from state funds" and that the library organizqation hasn't had to touch a $70 million line of credit made available by the state. He also detailed some of the features visitors will be able to explore next year. "We're going to take you into the White House. TR's White House. Not the White House that we know today, but TR's White House. So, it's going to have the full kind of look and feel replica of being in there," he said, adding that the library will leverage artificial intelligence technology to make simulated conversations with Roosevelt possible. "You're actually going to be able to talk to TR and TR is going to talk back to you," Briney said. "And that's where we're we're leveraging new technologies from Microsoft...where you can have actual conversations in a group setting with him."

In this episode: The benefits of long-term capital gains tax rates and how to qualify The impact of the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax (often called the “Obamacare tax”) The key differences between long-term and short-term capital gains New increases to the standard deduction for 2025 A proposed tax-advantaged “Trump Account” for children under age 8, including contribution limits and withdrawal rules The House-passed bill's broader context, including its 100+ tax provisions still awaiting Senate approval Why it's important to wait for legislation to be finalized before planning around it In this episode, our guest, Debora Gorman, dives into Maryland's sweeping tax changes for 2025, aimed at closing a $3.3 billion budget gap—while giving entrepreneurs a crash course in how these changes will hit their bottom lines. If you own or operate a business in Maryland (or sell into it), this is your cheat sheet to staying compliant and tax-savvy in the face of some major shifts. What You'll Learn: New High-Income Tax Brackets: Maryland has introduced two new tax tiers for top earners—up to 6.5% for individuals making over $1 million and joint filers over $1.2 million. Business owners should reassess employee withholdings and estimated tax payments now. Capital Gains Surtax: A new 2% surtax applies to net capital gains for individuals with federal AGI over $350,000. Some exceptions apply (think retirement accounts and primary residences under $1.5M), but high-income entrepreneurs will want to revisit their investment strategies and tax planning. Standard Deduction Boosts: Maryland has raised its standard deduction significantly. It could tip the scales for some taxpayers, especially small business owners juggling itemized deductions. Gorman urges entrepreneurs to run both scenarios before filing. New 3% Sales Tax on Digital & IT Services: Starting July 1, 2025, certain digital subscriptions and tech services will be taxed. This includes cloud storage, custom software, and IT consulting under specific NAICS codes. If you're selling these services, you'll need to start collecting and remitting the tax. If you're buying, plan for increased costs. Out-of-State Sellers Beware: If your company sells into Maryland and hits $100K in revenue or 200 transactions/year, you're likely on the hook for sales tax collection—even without a physical presence. Custom Software No Longer Exempt: With the expansion of what's taxable, the custom software exemption is gone. If it's tied to taxable IT services, it's now subject to the 3% rate. Help Is Available: Gorman highlights resources like MarylandTaxConnect.gov and the Comptroller's legislative updates page, which includes step-by-step videos, withholding calculators, and FAQs. Bonus: There's no underpayment penalty for 2025 if your miscalculation is due to the new rates. This episode delivers exactly what every entrepreneur needs: clarity, direction, and tools to stay ahead of the changes—without the legalese. Stay sharp and compliant, Maryland business owners. July's coming fast.

Close to 13 million people could soon lose access to Medicaid and Obamacare, although this only applies to two main groups: illegal immigrants, and able-bodied Americans under 64 years old who refuse to work at least part-time. The change of policy was just approved in a House vote under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” but will now have to make its way through a Senate vote before becoming law.

John and Jonathan unpack the narrow House passage of Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill” and its sweeping pro-life provisions—especially the 10-year defunding of Planned Parenthood. They reflect on legislative history, the power of reconciliation, and ponder its chances in the Senate. Plus: a bizarre bombing at a California IVF clinic opens a deeper conversation on the ethics of IVF and what Trump's upcoming executive order could mean for the future of life policy.

Donald Trump achieved a major political and policy victory on Thursday when the U.S. House of Representatives passed what he calls his “Big Beautiful Bill.” The less-creative name is the budget reconciliation bill, which presidents for years have used to implement large parts of their agenda. (That's how we got “Obamacare.”)The bill includes many of Trump's economic policy promises, such as tax cuts, but also rolls back much of the “green” energy and climate policies the Biden administration imposed via the Inflation Reduction Act.Join Heartland's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H.

Frank Pallone, U.S. Representative (D NJ 6th), ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, discusses what's in the bill, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says would cause 8.6 million Americans to lose their health insurance.

In this episode of the Power of Zero Show, host David McKnight looks at every possible tax or cost that may result from a Roth conversion. The first tax you'll have to pay when executing a Roth conversion is federal income tax.  Whatever portion of your IRA you convert to Roth is realized as ordinary income and piled right on top of all your other income. David is an advocate for not converting to Roth unless you think your federal tax rate in retirement is likely to be higher than it is today. The second tax you could end up paying when doing a Roth conversion is state tax. The situation will vary depending on where you live – in Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming, you don't have to pay state tax, including on Roth conversion. Do you live in Illinois, Iowa, Mississippi, or Pennsylvania? Then, you'll have to pay state tax, but Roth conversions are exempted. If you're thinking about moving to one of these states to avoid paying these taxes, just know that, while they may not charge income tax on Roth conversions, they do make up for it in other ways (sales and property tax, for example). IRMAA – the Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount – is the third cost you could end up paying when doing a Roth conversion. IRMAA represents an additional charge you could be required to pay on your Medicare Part B and Part D premiums. The next potential tax you could pay as a result of doing a Roth conversion is Social Security taxation. The fifth cost you could incur because of a Roth conversion is NIIT (Net Investment Income Tax) – also known as the Obamacare surtax. NIIT is a 3.8% surtax on the lesser of your net investment income or the amount of your modified adjusted gross income that exceeds the threshold of $200,000 for single filers and $250,000 for married filing jointly. The sixth tax you could potentially pay as a result of doing a Roth conversion is an indirect one and results from the phase out of certain credits or deductions. The list of credits and deductions includes child tax credits, student loan interest deductions, the saver's credit, and education credits. Underpayment penalties is the seventh tax you could potentially pay by doing a Roth conversion. David explains that many people opt to pay taxes on their Roth conversion in the fourth quarter. The problem, however, lies in the fact that when you pay the taxes on your Roth conversion out of cash in the fourth quarter, the IRS expects you to have paid taxes on that Roth conversion evenly throughout the year. The eighth and final tax you could end up paying as a result of doing a Roth conversion applies to those who are getting health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Does your Roth conversion push you above the subsidy threshold? If so, know that you could have a partial or total loss of subsidies or may have to repay subsidies at tax time. “Think of all of these additional taxes or costs as tradeoffs, not problems or unintended consequences,” says David. For example, you may pay increased Social Security taxation during your Roth conversion period, but will then eliminate Social Security taxation altogether by the time your conversion is complete. If President Trump extends his tax cuts, then the national debt will grow to $62 trillion by 2035. Most experts believe that the only way we can service this massive debt load is to dramatically increase income tax rates. According to a recent Penn Wharton study, if the U.S. doesn't right its fiscal ship by 2040, no combination of raising taxes or reducing spending will prevent the nation's financial collapse. Remember: while it's true that Roth conversions do cause you to pay additional taxes and expenses in the short term, they do dramatically reduce those costs over the balance of your life, once your conversion is complete.

Episode DescriptionAudra Moran is the President and CEO of OCRA—Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance—which means she spends her days doing things most of us wouldn't survive five minutes doing: merging nonprofits, leading national patient support programs, funding lifesaving research, surviving pharma grant hell, and trying to reach every woman in America who might be slipping through the cracks. We talk about her time working with the Helen Keller National Center (yes, she knows finger spelling), her accidental journey into cancer nonprofit leadership, the weirdness of dermoid cysts, the ridiculousness of writing grants, and the absolute hellscape of diagnosis delay. Oh, and the fallopian tubes. You'll never look at them the same way again.This episode is funny, raw, deeply personal, and loaded with Gen X movie references and random facts about Paul Rudd, Terminator 2, and flipbook apps at 3am. Audra drops wisdom, humility, and a few hot takes on AI, advocacy, and what it really means to lead when the boulder keeps rolling downhill.RELATED LINKSAudra Moran on LinkedInOvarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA)Audra's profile on OCRACURE Today interview: Leading the FightOCRA + AI & Data: Overlooked PodcastFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Christine Verini is a pharmacist by training, a nonprofit CEO by title, and an unapologetic empath by design. She now leads CancerCare, one of the oldest, least-known, and most impactful organizations in the country that actually helps real cancer patients deal with the practical garbage no one likes to talk about—like paying rent, affording a ride to chemo, or feeding their kids.We talk about her career pivot from industry to impact, what it's like trying to scale empathy without losing your soul, and the daily gut-punch of knowing there are millions of people who still have no idea that CancerCare exists. Christine gets real about leadership, advocacy, burnout, and why being “pan-cancer” matters more than ever in a world obsessed with biomarkers, buckets, and branding.She also dishes on what AI gets dead wrong, what patients actually want when they call for help, and why “ghosting” someone with cancer is still a thing. Buckle up. This one's packed with heart, brains, and a little righteous rage.RELATED LINKSCancerCareChristine Verini on LinkedInChristine's CEO Announcement – PR NewswireCancer Health 25: Christine VeriniChristine on HealthyWomenBIO Convention Speaker ProfileFEEDBACKLike this episode?

When a public school adds stories with LGBT themes to its elementary reading curriculum, do religious parents have a First Amendment right to opt out? And did ObamaCare evade a constitutional check when it delegated power to the Preventive Services Task Force? The Supreme Court debates those points in Mahmoud v. Taylor and Kennedy v.

It's a busy week at the U.S. Supreme Court. On Monday, the justices heard oral arguments in yet another legal attack on Obamacare, this time over requirements that insurers cover some preventative care services at no cost to patients. Today, they'll weigh a parental rights case over LGBTQ-themed children's books in public schools. And tomorrow, they'll hear a challenge to California's ability to set stricter emission standards for new cars. All the while, the court is facing serious questions over whether it's prepared to stand up to the Trump administration's assault on rule of the law. Leah Litman, co-host of Crooked's legal podcast 'Strict Scrutiny,' tells us what we need to know about this week's big cases and the big-picture debate over the court's ability to protect our rights.And in headlines: The Catholic Church began the search for a new leader after Pope Francis' death early Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly shared military plans on a second private Signal chat, and U.S. stocks slumped again amid Trump's repeated attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.Show Notes:Check out Strict Scrutiny – crooked.com/podcast-series/strict-scrutiny/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Yes — Obamacare is before the Supreme Court, again. This time, the case centers on the legality of an advisory task force.

Our health care system sucks, and we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fix it. Yet Republicans are promising to keep every penny of Medicaid and Obamacare. Meanwhile, district judges continue to halt the immigration agenda. So what are we accomplishing? We're joined today by health care regulatory compliance expert Reg Hislop for an important health care discussion. Hislop notes that there is a $1 trillion annual tab just on administrative compliance with government health care. He also paints a picture of what true health care reform, particularly Medicaid, looks like and why, absent such reforms, we will never solve the health care crisis or the budget crisis.  Waste, fraud, and abuse are not bugs in the cog but a feature of the program that must be reformed.  Learn more about your ad choices.
