This is all theater. What are you expecting to be released? The grand jury testimony that requires a court order? Do you want them to stop the current investigation and release those files? I've said this before, if you only want to hear what you want to hear, stay with CNN and all the biased media...... "shipwreckedcrew" on X calls out left and right when they are wrong on legal matters. There is not going to be a smoking gun in these files - and there will be so many redactions, everything will be pure speculation.

Your too early to celebrate - it goes to the Senate for debate and vote. If no changes, back to house and to Presidents desk. If they amend it, which is likely, it goes back to house for approval of the amendments.....then to Presidents desk. If unredacted it hurts the victims and innocent people. So we know it will be redacted, that will start speculation and made up stories that may or may not be true......what does that solve? Does that bring any pedo's to justice? Nope....this is NOT about the victims, It will be another attempt to "get Trump".....

Could he? I know Democrats claim he can. Here is the problem. Grand Jury materials are shielded under Federal Rule of criminal Procedure 6(e) and release requires a court order. Files tied to on going investigations are also off limits. Then add redactions...... So he could "demand" - but they would release what they would release, and the stuff that was not released the Democrats would blame on Trump.....So he is playing it correct. Besides, having Congress vote seems Democratic, and Trump demanding the release sounds very King like....... and Democrats wants no kings.....

I think you missed the part where I said I think everyone needs to have health insurance available. i also said I don’t have an answer. Something does need to change. There’s a single mom that works for the same company I do. She pays insurance premiums out of her paycheck, and has two kids that are sick a lot. The doctor visits cost around $150 a kid, they’re usually both sick at the same time so that’s a $300 doctor visit. She told me that the last couple times her kids were sick she took them to the ER to avoid paying the Dr…..while not right, she could not afford to go to the doctor die to the high deductibles.

WE have collected a lot of money off the tariffs - and it may take a while to feel results. He is changing global trading, that does not happen overnight.

Totally agree. I've mentioned this somewhere, but insurance basically is dictating where I plan on moving. In Jefferson County, a lot of mainstream insurance companies have pulled out, so we have a smaller choice and of course, that means higher prices. Hardin county is out of the windstorm for the most part, and you have many more companies to shop, plus the risk is MUCH less for a hurricane damage. It is still high, but almost 50% cheaper I believe.

If you listen to his explanation, he is trying to get prices down on certain items. We don't produce a lot of coffee and tropical fruits here in the USA..... I don't think it is a bad move. Tariffs are and have been a negotiating tool for him.

What you don't hear in the biased left wing get Trump media is Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) recently attempted to force an expedited floor vote on releasing the FULL Epstein files on November 13th, 2025. Burchett pushed for the procedural move during house proceedings , expressing frustration with delays in transparency and calling for a direct vote to publish ALL DOJ - held documents related to Epstein's investigations, prosecutions and connections. The effort was blocked that same day by house democrats....... They would rather drip select redacted emails for political reasons, just like they did with the government shutdown. They don't care about the victims or the SNAP recipients.....they just want to try and gain a political edge.

I don't know if there is an answer.....Dem's really screwed it up. When the Government tells a private insurance company you have to insure folks with preexisting conditions, it is very understandable why healthy people have to pay crazy premiums. If you have a serious preexisting condition, like cancer, they should of expanded Medicare or Medicaid and let the bulk of healthy individuals be able to get health insurance. There is so many things wrong with the "right to healthcare" argument. In 1998 cigarette companies had to pay law suits for cancer victims.....still around 28 million folks still smoke. My premiums should not go up to pay for their bad decision to keep smoking. + And before anyone blast me, I think everyone should be able to get insurance, but there needs to be an out for healthy people, and I have no idea what that should be. I'm lucky enough we had a new option for health insurance - $133 every 2 weeks for my Son and I. $1200 deductible, 2400 total out of pocket and $20/40 co-pays for doc/specialist visits. My company is paying the bulk of tis insurance - it can't be cheap

If that is coming from the tariff income alone, and something the country has not received before, it could be called a dividend..... We will see how this plays out.
-
Both parties have had 15 years to fix it....yet the Democrats who created it without one Republican vote has done nothing......and it was not Republicans who put an expiration date on the subsidies.....So where is your blame for the do nothing Democrats? Any Obama supporters should be highly upset that the one big thing Obama did has turned out to be a complete failure. A failure so big, Democrats could not fix it. We are about to see if Republicans can fix it.......

Yes, free money - If I don't get it, the balance in my checking account does not change and my tax obligation remains the same. If I do get it - My checking account balance changes PLUS 2K, my tax obligation remains the same. I consider that "free money" Now we can have a conversation about wasted tax dollars and that nothing is free. Personally I would rather my taxes lowered and not receive the 2k...
-
I don't need it either - but I'm not turning down free money. IF it is 2K like he mentioned, that is 85% of a new guitar.....or put in savings....who knows, my only bill is a car note at 2.25% - hate to pay towards that when I can put it in my savings and earn 3.75%

I just got my bloodwork back and Doctor walks in and says it has been a long time since I had to go over perfect lab results. I'm pretty stoked as I just turned 60! 5'9" - 165 pounds - but I have an old man belly I need to get rid of.
