Trump's military strikes kill 100+ & health insurance costs double—what you need to know right now

Описание: The Trump administration has launched Operation Southern Spear, conducting over 35 military strikes in international waters that have killed more than 100 people on boats suspected of drug smuggling. The controversy centers on these actions being based solely on intelligence without physical evidence, raising serious questions about due process and whether the US is killing people on suspicion alone without arrests or trials.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are facing a healthcare crisis as enhanced ACA subsidies expired on January 1st, 2026. Over 20 million people who buy insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplace are seeing their monthly premiums jump by an average of 114%. This happened after Congress failed to extend the enhanced subsidies that were put in place during COVID and expanded under the Inflation Reduction Act. Additionally, Trump has been deploying federalized National Guard troops to Democrat-run cities like LA, Chicago, and Portland to enforce immigration law and contain protests, though courts are increasingly blocking these deployments in a growing debate over presidential power versus states' rights.
