If Donald Trump and congressional Republicans won’t take action, I will. As Governor, I’ll create a state tax credit to bring down costs for small business owners, farmers, and Minnesotans who get their insurance through the individual market. Ten states already do this. Minnesota can too.

Minnesotans face another year of steep health insurance hikes
All approved insurers will raise rates by at least 10 percent in Minnesota’s individual and small-group markets, as higher healthcare costs and expired ACA tax credits put pressure on consumers.

Another Bad Day in Court for Trump
Today, as Trump was busy trying (and failing) to convince his own people that “affordability” is a word made up by Democrats, the courts were having a field day with him.

Senior leaders at Customs and Border Protection were left out of the decision to use their agency’s funds for a national ad campaign featuring Trump. They found out from a news report. Trump isn’t smart enough to come up with this himself. Our guess? Stephen Miller.

The Constitution says Congress, not the president, decides how your tax money is spent. Trump canceled $810 million Congress approved by running out the clock & the independent spending watchdog calls it illegal. Trump treats your money like it’s his #PayToPlayPresident #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Gregg Phillips, who's been a board member of election denial group True the Vote (& worked in the Trump admin), criticized the national emergency/pausing elections push, noting a president doesn't have "special authority to postpone, cancel, take over, or rewrite the rules for federal elections."
Gregg Phillips on Truth Social in response to a user asking, "What if he declares a national emergency?":

"The United States has never paused, canceled, or delayed a nationwide federal general election - not during the War of 1813, the Civil War, two World Wars, the Great Depression, the 1918 flu pandemic, 9/11, major hurricanes, COVID or anything else. 

A President cannot unilaterally cancel or postpone an election. Congress sets the federal Election Day, and constitutional deadlines still apply: House terms end January 3, and presidential terms end at noon on January 20.

America has never 'paused' a national election.

That is not how our constitutional system works."Gregg Phillips on Truth Social in response to a user asking, "What if he declares a national emergency?":

"No. A presidential declaration of a national emergency does not give the President special authority to postpone, cancel, take over, or rewrite the rules for federal elections.
A national-emergency declaration is not a blank check. It activates only specific powers Congress has already placed in particular statutes. Congress has authorized many emergency authorities, but none authorizes a President to move Election Day, cancel an election, choose presidential electors, alter voting rules, or place federal elections under White House control."
