I enforced the rules against bigotry and trolling...but you're correct that the majority of bigots and trolls were conservative.

But, yes, your stance about folks being "weak and fragile" are certainly noted by your continued whining almost a year after my time as a mod on a different board ended.

You seem mighty defensive. Trolling? That your safe word? One that you define as "disagreeing with my pov"
 


If I understand correctly, the way this is going to work is that by passing the rule package, the rule auto-passes the rescission bill without the House members having to vote directly for the rescissions — so they can technically claim back home not to have voted for the rescissions.

Colorado health insurers propose huge price increases following passage of GOP's federal spending bill

Colorado health insurance prices in the individual market are poised for a big increase following passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

But the increases hit even harder on the Western Slope and in Grand Junction, where insurers have asked for increases above 38%. Pueblo and the Eastern Plains could also see increases above 30%, according to numbers announced Wednesday by the Colorado Division of Insurance.

The price increases affect health insurance premiums, the monthly up-front costs to buy an insurance plan. Depending on a person’s age, family size and where they live, the rate increases could amount to hundreds or thousands of dollars more per year just to have insurance — out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and copays would add even more.
 
"Altogether, the state will lose $49.9 billion in Medicaid funding over 10 years, with more than 70 percent of the loss coming from cuts to hospital expenditures, according to the document, which was assembled by subject matter experts and top NCDHHS officials. The document was presented online by four of those officials Wednesday to legislators and staff.

“Hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians are expected to lose health coverage,” the document states. “In addition, without a statutory change, the new administrative costs for work requirements will likely trigger the NC law that ends Medicaid expansion, resulting in coverage loss for 671,476 people.”

Actually Siler City voted Blue and it will hurt folks there too...but all of the countryside to the south and west will also be SOL. Blue Pittsboro/North Chatham will be close enough to Chapel Hill or Raleigh.
 
While MSM and the feckless (Dems, too) were mesmerized by Epstein shiny objects (Look over there!), including the FAKE WSJ lawsuit and FAKE request for Grand Jury documents (lol as if)...the appropriations BILLIONAIRE BANK ROBBERY is followed the Rescissions A$$ RAPE Bill.

Passed this week through a VD Vance tie breaking vote and by 3 in the House with hardly a peep of protest from DEMS,

Project 2025 has figured out due to the Harry Reid loophole, that they can pass anything, not matter or stupid, cruel, or greedy as a budgetary bill - needing only 50 votes in the Senate...as Congress yet again.

There will be more DOGE Rescissions A$$ RAPE Bills to come! Saving almost no real $$ while billionaires, hedge fund managers, and the prison-industrial complex and the military-industrial complex rake in PROFITS.

They. Don't. Care.

 


“… The legislation allows more medications to be exempt from Medicare’s price negotiation program, which was created to lower the government’s drug spending. Now, manufacturers will be able to keep those prices higher.

The change will cut into the government’s savings from the negotiation program by nearly $5 billion over a decade, according to an estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

… The new exemptions will apply to the third round, affecting prices starting in 2028. Had the new rules been in place earlier, several drugs that are currently up for price cuts would have been spared, including Imbruvica and Pomalyst, which treat rare forms of cancer.…”
