Congressman Randy Fine wants to nuke Gaza. Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald react.

🚨 wow 🚨 - CBO finds OBBBA will cost $300 billion more on a dynamic basis. It’s not only not paying for all of itself, it’s not paying for any of itself cbo.gov/publication/61…

🚨THIS STORY IS INSANE. The Trump administration shipped a guy to be imprisoned in El Salvador without trial, in conditions worse than we treat even convicted serial killers, because he was in a picture standing next to someone with tattoos. LITERALLY NO OTHER EVIDENCE.

Makes you think

People have been debating and worried about the Social Security Trust Fund shortfall for decades. It's widely seen as an enormous fiscal challenge. One Big Beautiful Bill's tax cuts' permanent cost is actually *larger* than the Social Security Trust Fund shortfall.

Depriving millions of people of health insurance will create financial problems for rural hospitals, so the GOP solution is to try to come up with a targeted hospital bailout rather than letting people keep their health care.

I will always have the Star Wars receipts

Brendan Duke To wit, when Louisiana expanded Medicaid in 2016, rural hospitals were 55% less likely to close. Many studies have shown the benefits to rural hospitals of expansions. kff.org/medicaid/issue…

Unclear how this helps the nearly 12 million people expected to lose coverage because of the GOP reconciliation package, or the 1.3 million low-income seniors who would face higher Medicare premiums & cost-sharing.

🚨NEW from us in the Washington Post: Donald Trump repeatedly promised not to touch Medicaid. It’s part of why he gained immense amounts of ground with low income voters. Now, his new budget is about to hit his newest voters the hardest. wapo.st/4k0V4Xv

State where home values dipped the most in the US last month? Florida. But.. what hasn’t dropped for Floridians? Cost of home insurance.

This proposal reads like "high-risk pools, but for rural hospitals" to me High-risk pools never worked as well as people wanted, and I worry that a rural hospital slush fund would face many of the same challenges (underfunding, limited access, etc) politico.com/live-updates/2…

ICE's own data shows their claim of targeting the "worst of the worst" is false. - 83.6% of people detained by ICE in FY25 were classified as "no ICE threat level." - 4.9% were classified as low threat - 3.9% were classified as medium threat - 7.6% were classified as high threat

I wrote about why Juneteenth truly is the most American—and libertarian—holiday. Nothing is more offensive to liberty than slavery—and nothing more pro-liberty than abolishing it. Happy Juneteenth.

Honestly it’s a four alarm fire for Florida and I have been a broken record about it since November floridaphoenix.com/2025/06/20/one…

My colleague Edwin Park blog on disastrous Medicaid provider tax provisions in Senate version of OBBB. ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/06/18/sen…

Larry Levitt The reality is that many rural hospitals by necessity offer limited specialty services and patients who need more complex services must travel to larger hospitals with more comprehensive services. Those patients need Medicaid or other coverage to fully access those services.

The fact that the Big Ugly Bill could cause many red states to opt out of SNAP (like they have historically with Medicaid expansion) is a four alarm fire for states like Florida.
