the last one with Allieville, she starts right now. Hey, Allie. There was so much great stuff in your show tonight, but I'm important to play that Dan Bongino clip, right? Where he just says it out there. It's like, yeah, I used to have opinions that weren't based in fact, and now I'm the deputy director of the FBI, so I have to be based in fact, but one day I'll be back in that. It's like, what are you talking about? I'm taking a brief hiatus from pushing conspiracy theories for profit. That was weird. Jus ...

Some Republicans have said they would vote for a proposal that extends the credits by one or two y ...

The manic posting and inability to keep his eyes open would raise questions about any 80-year-old, let alone the president of the United States. Trump made nearly 160 posts lashing out at political enemies and of course boosting fawning messages from his supporters, obviously. That is a rate of nearly one post per minute, just to give you a sense.And then, believe it or not, he started back up again shortly before 6:00 a. m. this morning.Now, all of that social media posting in lie of restorative sleep appe ...

For some reason, Republicans have had a hangup about the Affordable Care Act from start to finish. And it really has resulted in many things that people, it's been 15 years. They forgot that people were denied insurance because of pre-existing conditions, that being a woman was a preexisting condition, having cancer or the the things that were there.They never liked it. But they've never come up with an alternative. And here's the reality.Too many people can't afford health insurance right now. We're alread ...

I mean, we're the ones that have been fighting tooth and nail to get an extension. It's pretty clear that if we don't get an extension, we're going to have millions of people that are going to be priced out of uh getting health insurance that are goi ...

Yes, >> Congress has less than 30 days before health insurance premiums are set to jump for millions of Americans, and hope for an extension of those Affordable Care Act subsidies appears to be diminishing. Last month, you'll remember, Democrats agreed to reopen the government in exchange for a December healthc care vote in the Senate, and they were hoping to work with Republicans to extend those ACA tax credits. But a plan would require 60 votes to pass the Senate, and Republicans are struggling to rally a ...
