Short Take Politics
Schumer, Jeffries won’t back down
With a 60% increase in health insurance premiums right around the corner for millions of self-employed people who rely on State Insurance Exchanges and the Affordable Care Act for coverage, the government shuts down today because when the President said “approve a continuing resolution and we can fix it soon” they correctly surmised “soon” means never. The President acted surprised that working families would be so hurt by his actions. It was as if he’s that far out of touch. One thing we can still rely on: Trump Always Chickens Out. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/29/white-house-shutdown-summit-fails-to-produce-a-deal-00585426
Hegseth gathers leadership, feeds comedians

This administration is only good at one of those two things. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/politics/hegseth-generals-meeting-warrior-ethos
Mormon church attacker was far-right
An actual terrorist, who rammed his truck into a Latter Day Saints Church in Michigan, torched the place and murdered 4 people was a Trump-supporting Marine vet. Wait a minute. I though Antifa was what we should be fearing? I am waiting for the MAGA crowd to tell us he had a trans boyfriend so he couldn’t be one of them. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/09/29/thomas-jacob-sanford-…
