Last night on Air Force One, Donald Trump pushed back against the White House's health care plan flop on extending the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits earlier this week, declaring that "somebody said that I want to extend them for two years. I don't want to extend them for two years. I'd rather not extend them at all."

With 36 Days Until ACA Subsidies Expire, Trump Declares "I Don't Want To Extend Them"
Last night on Air Force One, Donald Trump pushed back against the White House's health care plan flop on extending the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits earlier this week, declaring that "somebody said that I want to extend them for two years. I don't want to extend them for two years. I'd rather not extend them at all."
In just 36 days, 22 million Americans will be hit with health care premiumsthat are more expensive by an average of 114%, on top of the tens of millions of Americans who will lose coverage through Medicaid as a result of Trump's budget bill.
Americans blame Trump and Republicans by a margin of 26 points for health care premium increases. If Trump and Republicans cared about lowering health care costs, they would be working with Democrats on a permanent extension of the enhanced ACA premium tax credits millions of Americans rely on.
In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:
"With just 36 days until millions are faced with sky-high premiums, Donald Trump revealed he has no intention of averting the health care crisis of his own making because he'd simply 'rather not.' This Thanksgiving, Americans are coming face-to-face with high inflation and skyrocketing costs, and they are being forced to make tough choices when they should be celebrating with friends and family. Regardless of how loudly everyday Americans beg for relief from Trump's unaffordable economy, Trump's attention is everywhere else. Trump doesn't give a shit about anything except his pet projects, and Americans know they're footing the bill for Trump's failed policies that only serve him and his billionaire friends."

* Every piece of polling out there has Cooper convincingly defeating GOP establishment champion Michael Whatley. (One recent poll has MAGA standard-bearer Don Brown faring about the same as Whatley against Cooper.)
* The Republican National Committee is working overtime to shove Michael Whatley down our throats. It's hard to excite conservative voters with a candidate who has been meaner toward his own party's voters than he has to Democrats.
* Roy Cooper has been undefeated in elections - statewide and legislative - for the past 40 years. Is Mike Whatley really the best the GOP establishment has to put forth on the battlefield? Honestly, it looks like a surrender or concession before the fighting even begins.

"Congressman Ryan Mackenzie has worked to lower costs for Pennsylvania families from day one in office. As a lifelong resident of the Greater Lehigh Valley, no one is better suited to fight for their community than Mackenzie."- NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
A partial transcript from the "Inside the Majority" video featuring Ryan Mackenzie can be found below:
[...]
Affordability and cost of living are far and away the biggest concern for people in our local community right now. So what we've been able to accomplish, things like no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, increasing the deduction for seniors on Social Security... for many people, they're living paycheck to paycheck, and so any kind of tax relief is meaningful.
We were able to do that by expanding things like the child tax credit to $2,200 per child and indexing it to inflation. But for working families, seniors, and everybody in our community, there's still more work that needs to be done. Really, as an individual, I know that we need to make sure that we're providing a better life and opportunity for the next generations to come.

Mich. Democratic Party: Michigan Farm Exports "Collapse" in Fallout From Mike Rogers-Backed Tariffs

According to Crain's Grand Rapids Business, "Michigan wheat shipments plummeted 89% in the first half of 2025" and "soybean meal exports also dropped 46%," which state officials "blame squarely on Trump administration tariffs and the resulting trade war."
Rogers has been arubber-stamp for Trump's chaotic tariffs, calling them an "absolute win" and "masterful"--even as they spike costs on nearly everything Michiganders buy and devastate Michigan farmers. When confronted with these real-world consequences, Rogers was caught at a campaign event "making fun of those who worry about higher prices," arguing the economic pain is "worth the financial strife being put on the American people." He even falsely claimed that there is no inflation and that "working families [are] not paying more."

Crain's Grand Rapids Business: Michigan farm exports collapse in fallout from Trump tariffs
* Michigan wheat shipments plummeted 89% in the first half of 2025, part of a stunning collapse in agricultural exports that state officials blame squarely on Trump administration tariffs and the resulting trade war.
* Soybean meal exports also dropped 46%, according to data from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
* State ag leaders point to trade policies enacted this year by the Trump administration and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries as being directly responsible for the declines.
* "More and more foreign purchasers are just viewing the United States and Michigan products with a lot of uncertainty," said Timothy Boring, executive director of MDARD. "They're increasingly, it seems, making decisions to source from other countries that do offer that greater predictability and stability in those export markets."
* [...] "Michigan agriculture and various commodity groups have spent generations now building these international markets around the globe and so much of those trading partnerships rely upon the trust in those personal connections," Boring said. "If the trust isn't there, if the predictability and the stability of those relationships isn't going to be there, those importers are going to look to procure products somewhere else where there's greater stability and more certainty."
* [...] "The U.S. has a reputation of being a consistent supplier of high-quality beans and grains with efficient logistics. However, tariffs make us uncompetitive in many markets," Fahrner said.
* [...] Fahrner noted that getting importers to change their sourcing can be a difficult proposition. "Once buyers switch to suppliers in other countries, it is very hard to get that business back, thus decreasing available markets for U.S. exports," Fahrner said.

Nevada Democrats Vote Against Lower Energy Costs As House Republicans Move To Unleash American Energy
The Nevada Globe
House Republicans just took a major step toward lowering energy costs for Nevada families and, predictably, Nevada's Democratic delegation tried to stand in the way.
[...]
In short: more American energy production, more American energy exports, and lower costs for families everywhere, including right here in Nevada.
Republicans and even a number of Democrats understood that. Titus, Lee, and Horsford didn't.
Instead, Nevada's Democratic delegation sided with the far-left environmental lobby that openly admits it wants to end fossil fuels altogether, no matter how painful it becomes for working families trying to keep the lights on, heat their homes, or afford a drive to work.
[...]
Nevadans have been crushed by years of soaring utility bills, skyrocketing gas prices, and inflation that refuses to go away. Even as national energy costs ease, Nevada consistently ranks among the most expensive states in the country for residential electricity and Democrats in Washington keep voting to make it worse.
[...]
Nevada families want lower energy bills, cheaper gas, and a future where America not China, not Russia, not the Middle East controls its own energy supply. The House just delivered a plan to make that happen.
Titus, Lee, and Horsford voted no. Fortunately, House Republicans are moving full speed ahead to put America back in the driver's seat on energy. It's a shame Nevada's Democrats refuse to come along for the ride.
