Q&A of the Day – What’s in Senator Rick Scott’s More Affordable Care Act?
.jpg)
Healthcare affordability challenges are nothing new, however Senator Rick Scott has picked up on ideas aimed at improving affordability floated by President Trump, aka Trumpcare, along with his own ideas as a former healthcare CEO into a bill known as the More Affordable Care Act. Of course, the irony of President Obama’s “Affordable Care Act” is that healthcare has only become less affordable over time with its passage. This is largely due to the biggest obstacle to more affordable healthcare, health insurance, having been expanded under “Obamacare” preventing almost all Americans from actually knowing what the cost of healthcare will be until after they’ve already obtained it. more

Abolish ICE
An elderly Hmong grandfather who is a legal U.S. citizen was ripped out of his St Paul home in about ten degree weather, and the cruelty is baked into every frame of that video. Family members say agents broke down the door, trashed the place, handcuffed him in front of his terrified grandson, and refused to let this shivering old man put on warm clothes before marching him outside in the freezing dark. One relative says an agent even put a gun to his daughter in law’s head while the raid unfolded.
This was not some secret fugitive or cartel boss. According to his family and local reporting, he is a legal citizen with no criminal record who was fingerprinted, questioned, and then quietly dropped back home once agents finally confirmed what he had been saying all along. No apology, no explanation, just a wrecked front door and a traumatized family replaying the moment an elder was forced to stand half dressed in deadly cold for no reason that makes any sense in a civilized country.
For Hmong residents in Minnesota, the clip is not a glitch in the system, it is the system. It shows federal power used like a battering ram against immigrants and communities of color, even when the target is a legal American citizen who has every right to be in his own living room and a basic right to protect his body from the cold. The message is clear, and it is poisonous: your papers, your age, even the life threatening temperature outside do not matter when the state decides you look expendable.
