Two framing failures here: Republicans deliberately let Obamacare subsidies lapse knowing this outcome would happen, but that reality makes the GOP look very bad so it’s omitted from the headline. The increases are just happening, without context of the deliberate policy drivers. The increases will be felt hardest among middle class Americans, but the impact is framed first in political terms as a “blow to Obamacare,” emphasizing politics over policy impact to the American people. The substance of the reporting by @ReedAbelson @sangerkatz is fair and clear, but editorial chose a headline that could very easily mislead the reader into thinking the program is just unworkable when deliberate Republican policy is weakening it. It’s not just the @nytimes this is very common everywhere
"Republicans fuck up people's healthcare" is the reality, but the @nytimes wants you to think it's a failure of "Obamacare"

He was doing this all campaign long...That weird swaying-to-the-music incident. Talking about Arnold Palmer's penis. Mixing up Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley. But the media just completely ignored it. Even when his opponent was a woman who was 20 years younger than him and incredibly sharp. The mental decline narrative was still solely about Biden. And now that it's too late, they (very begrudgingly) start to acknowledge it. Another massive media failure.

Another reason I love this YT channel is the random, rare uploads like this. This promo perfectly captures how great the late 90s/early 00s NBA was and the use of an Earth, Wind & Fire interlude feels exceptionally well chosen.
With Ernie Johnson’s retirement from Inside The NBA looming. I encourage everyone to watch old Inside episodes/segments in the Pre-Shaq era. Watching these episodes made me fall in love with sports broadcasting again and also the early 00s nostalgia >>> youtube.com/@ekh111?si=3hWT8…

Just before the collapse of the USSR, a broke KGB goon in a counterfeit western style track suit, soon to be one of the biggest mass murderers of the past 200 years, enjoying a weekend in Finland.

Imagine having a real journalist capable of writing a monologue like this on tv, as opposed to the oafs we’re forced to endure today?
This game featured the coldest Tom Brady monologue, only 6 years into his career

Famous Republican midterm election closing messages 1858: a house divided against itself cannot stand, the nation cannot exist half slave and half free 1946: had enough? Enough with the controls, shortages, and labor strife. 1994: a new Contract with America to balance the budget, reduce government, and reform welfare 2026:
Trump: I did not marry my sister. I had two lovely; I have one left. Elizabeth. She's great. But I never proposed to them. They’re beautiful, but I was never—I was never particularly attracted to either of them.

You can tell the hecklers are legit in his head. This has been the most consistently outstanding stream of daily heckling over the course of several weeks in American political history. Quality work from all involved.
Trump lashes out while getting heckled again: Shut up! Dope!

This is why you don’t close almost 100 voting locations.
It’s 7pm and the polls are closed, but voters are still lined up for 2 hours and more to vote in Tarrant County. Yes, if you’re in line you get to vote.

Halloween Night 1988 Eric Dickerson scores four first-half touchdowns in the Colts' 55-23 rout of the Broncos — the first Monday Night Football game ever played in Indianapolis. His huge night comes a year to the day after the blockbuster trade that sent him from the Rams to the Colts. Dickerson becomes the third player in NFL history with six consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons, joining Franco Harris and Walter Payton.

Democrats need a year round campaign hosing the public with ads painting Republicans as the pro-war party
Trump's air war plan for Iran is reportedly ready — Strikes could come as early as Sunday or Monday Iran has already rehearsed its answer: Kuwait's water. Saudi Arabia's oil. Riyadh's airport This time the damage won't be over in a few weeks In my new post, I explain Iran's most likely parallel answer, and what it will cost you: your gas, your mortgage, your retirement account, personal risks well into the spring Read it before the first bombs fall on Escalation Trap substack

Big Jeff never even broke the top 50 in the NFL’s top 100 every year but the instant he’s traded from TN they’re suddenly calling him like the 3rd best DT in the history of the league. You can all burn in hell
