Thanks to the R's BBB and gutting the ACA advance tax credits, I just got notice that my Gold-level individual ACA plan from Highmark in Pennsylvania rate is going from $1,195.14 in 2026 up to $1,456.79 in 2027, or an increase of 22% YOY. It went up 20% last year as well. cc @deluzio.house.gov

I know there is a race to move from AI to AGI, but can we get an accurate AI model that can tell me what the weather is going to be first? If you give me 90 days of correct weather forecasts, I will never again sign another anti-data center petition. Weather, it is just data and patterns, right?

Since the U.S. House has seven weeks off, I’d like to suggest that all of the reps and their staff spend 1h 44m and watch the new AI doc on Netflix so that they can have a basic understanding of AI and the consequences of inaction. You have the time, learn something, really, do it now.

Spoiler Alert for The Lioness: I am disappointed in Taylor Sheridan for making Ukraine the bad guys in this season of The Lioness. Granted the season is not over and maybe there is a pending plot twist, but nonetheless, I am not happy that the plot is accusing Ukraine of carrying out espionage.

As a Pennsylvania voter and as Fetterman continues to deliver for the Republicans, I feel it is necessary to point out that I voted for @conorlambpa.bsky.social in the ‘22 Dem Senate primary, I have never believed in or trusted Fetterman’s “every man” schtick. 2028 can’t get here soon enough.

I am tired of the Trump administration blaming Biden for the lack of munitions in their SMO because Biden gave so much to Ukraine. Most of what went to Ukraine was end of life and was going to be decommissioned/scrapped. The US replaced this equipment with new equipment for it's own use.

I will support more funding for Trump's Special Military Operation in Iran BUT he has to commit to staying in DC at the White House every day/weekend until the SMO has come to a successful conclusion and all troops are home safely. No trips to golf, anywhere. No trips to Mar a Lago.

This story on CNN should scare the hell out of any parent. Google Gemini (allegedly based on prompt logs) led to this man killing himself so that he could be with his AI companion. This genie is out of the bottle and congress is doing nothing to reign it in. Shame. www.cnn.com/us/video/ai-...

Given the SMO in Iran is depleting U.S. stocks of interceptors, it is a very reasonable request for the U.S. to remove all obstacles preventing Ukraine and EU partners from manufacturing licensed U.S. tech. @deluzio.house.gov @fetterman.senate.gov

Kushner and Whitkoff meet with Iran 3-4 times and decides they are not serious so the U.S. bombs Iran, BUT, they have been meeting to solve Ukraine for over a year and still refuse to believe that Putin is not serious about peace. The U.S. is clearly compromised so the EU should own negotiations.

Pet peeve: when creating a post and including a screenshot of a social media post, include the date/time stamp in the screenshot, especially for Trump posts since he edits or replaces posts frequently.

Trump and Hegseth are playing with all of their toys: 1) F35 in a dog fight 2) Sub launching torpedoes for first time since WWII 3) Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) ballistic missiles used for first time I guess up next: 1) Tactical nuke 2) Jewish space lasers

I find the @cnn.com streaming app to be really frustrating. Why doesn't the streaming content always mirror the broadcast content? Why does it switch to headlines and international at times during the day. Why not just give me the option to pick the Headline or International stream separately?

I am so tired of Trump impacting my retirement accounts. He implements tariffs and the US markets lag the European markets, so I move more money to the European markets and start seeing returns. Now he launches a war in Iran and torches the European markets AND now the US markets.

It is astounding that the U.S., Israel, and the GCC countries have learned nothing from Ukraine and are panicking about running out of interceptor missiles after just 48 hours of conflict. This should be a very loud wake up call that countries must adapt to the modern theater of war.

For the most part everything that the Republican talking heads are using to justify the U.S. attack on Iran also applies to Russia as well, so how long is the Trump administration going to keep believing that Putin wants peace with Ukraine? Trump’s double standards are the height of hypocrisy. 🇺🇦

Sewickley Chippy @sewickleychippy.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
So Witkoff and Kushner tell Trump that Iran is not serious about an agreement and then the U.S./Israel bomb Iran, but after a year of discussions with Putin, Witkoff and Kushner still think that Putin wants peace while he sits safely in his golden palace. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And there it is. My 2026 Allegheny County Pennsylvania health plan has gone up by 20% or $200/month. I would have to drop down to a $9200 deductible bronze plan to save enough to make changing plans worth it and even then, that plan is still $807/month. @deluzio.house.gov @fetterman.senate.gov

You can amuse a cat by playing bird videos for them, lately I have found that you can amuse me by opening the Flightradar24 app and I will scroll around for hours looking at active flights and trying to guess the type of plane based on the plane icon size (I am not very accurate).

If Trump is so keen on increasing manufacturing in the U.S. and creating great, high paying jobs, why is he being so dodgy on allowing Ukraine to buy U.S. made weapons? (This is rhetorical of course, we all know why)

Any member of the House or Senate that votes in favor of a bailout to farmers or industries hurt by Trump’s new tariff plan needs to be primaried in their next election. Trump owns the fallout of this plan not the U.S. taxpayer who will end up paying the tariff AND the bailout.
