Sign up window is already open! Need to wrap these discussions up so you’re not wasting more money trying to figure out refunds… Or having to change enrollment systems to accept requests after the current window so people can react to the decision on subsidies…

Did he get $250 million for being investigated? That’s the precedent now, right?

Literally fought the deadliest war in US history over this…

Which would matter if she cared about history. Or objective reality.

“The whole thing is screwed up,” said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.”

With an attitude like that it’s no wonder you’re having trouble finding people to work for you…

“We moved to H-2A out of necessity,” added Sarah Zost, an orchard grower in Gardners, Pennsylvania. “No one wants to use the program. It’s a paperwork nightmare.”

If only one party had been proposing to fix immigration; only to have their efforts hamstrung by insistence we first “strengthen the border”. See reference here: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-collapse-of-bipartisan-immigration-reform-a-guide-for-the-perplexed/

The best chance to enact comprehensive reform came in 2013 during President Barack Obama’s second term, when a bipartisan group of senators dubbed the “Gang of Eight” agreed on a bill that would toughen security at the southern border and make it harder for employers to hire migrants who had entered the U.S. illegally while providing legal status and a path to citizenship for millions of such migrants who had resided in the U.S. for many years. The proposal passed the Senate 68 to 32 with strong bipartisan support. But because it did not enjoy the support of a majority of House Republicans, then-Speaker John Boehner refused to bring it to floor for a vote, and the measure died.

Article doesn’t mention pay either…

I’m placing my bet they claim something like “testing for autism causing autism”… they’ll ban the tests. Problem “solved”!

I don’t know about Goldilocks. More like “there are risks but we can probably handle it with proper policy”.

Cornyn is so old… 73 in 2025. How is he considering running for another 6 year senate term?

Let’s see, just divide by zero and… We’re wealthy beyond belief!

Because somehow trump wrecking the economy isn’t scoffing the working class? This argument starts disjointed from reality then presents a false dichotomy. trump’s administration & policies are a dumpster fire! How is opposing this a dilemma in any meaningful way?

Adding further onto your point emphasizing why this will be severe: Borrowing will become more expensive, and we can’t just stop spending to stop borrowing. Much of the current debt is in short term positions that regularly get re-issued. The cost of issuing new short term debts just to replace the current ones coming due will increase even if spending stays the same (or decreases).

And of course, there’s a huge impact to the dollar’s value internationally if major financial markets shift away from holding US debt. You know the trade deficit Republicans like to rage about … Yeah, it’ll get a lot worse when fewer people want to hold US dollars for the purpose of investing in US bonds.

The party who’s caused a recession every presidential term they’ve held power in my lifetime… Might cause a recession this time too???

Try to kick the football again Charlie Brown 🤷‍♂️

Tariffs that went on long enough would force manufacturing to be done in the US. And wages would have to rise

When the tariff is on final consumer products, these are two opposing forces. Higher wages mean companies would more likely save money by paying the tariffs. Higher tariffs mean companies are more likely to purchase domestically.

But if the tariffs are on precursor products (e.g. steel, lumber, oil, etc …) rather than final consumer goods: the tariffs make it more expensive for domestic manufacturing. The US manufacturer has to pay the tariffs to use the materials they need to produce their final product, and have to pass those costs on. That means there’s less margin for wages.

There’s been a recession start in every single republican presidential term of my life. I’m over 40. Each of Reagan’s terms. HW Bush. Each of the second Bush (these were the worst, dot-com crash and the great recession starting in 2007/8). And then the great Covid bungling. As you point out: if they implement their agenda it’s likely to happen again.

There has never been a recession start during a democratic president in my lifetime (although Biden’s term came close).

The opposition needs to be ready to jump on this and yell from the figurative rooftops so conservatives can’t spin it away. And it needs to be most heavily broadcast where the electorate shifted to the right this election. The fact that people generally think republicans are better for the economy is a severe failure on the part of the democrats.

Hopefully they actually vote.

I feel like we heard this same sentiment 4 years ago, and yet here we are.

Use a secret manager?

Cert is a secret, add a small agent to your containers that pings your secret manager and gets back the current cert. Then saves / imports it (or whatever is appropriate).

A photo op that would be so easy to arrange…
