monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

The Republican plan that the Democrats defeated earlier this year would have dramatically increased those subsidies.

On health care, Trump doesn't have anything resembling a plan. He has a desire for Congress to tear down "Obamacare," and when those efforts came up short, the president took steps to sabotage the nation's health care system unilaterally, but the president has no constructive vision of his own. His principal focus is on tearing down what others have created.

On immigration, Trump doesn't have the foggiest idea what kind of system should be in place, but he's convinced himself that it's necessary to tear down what Barack Obama did. And on the international nuclear agreement with Iran. The president hasn't offered anything resembling a coherent strategy, but he's certain Obama's policy is wrong.

The pattern is hard to miss.

Trump The Destroyer
...What is increasingly obvious is that President Trump’s motivations and impulses have everything to do with narcissism, personal piques, anger at his predecessor and fear of losing face – and very little to do with creating real policy outcomes. He prefers to be seen doing something rather than to do something for which he would bear the consequences.

“It’s the height of irony if we don’t repeal Obamacare, we don’t cut taxes, but we do implement more gun control,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told the Post. “That’s a perversion of the GOP agenda, and I think my colleagues recognize that, which is why they’re hoping the ATF will do it.”

Oh. So, Congress could act, and a new law might have a positive impact, but this would be “a perversion of the GOP agenda” – which is to say, taking legislative action in the hopes of saving lives would be off-brand for the Republican Party in 2017.

Warm water juiced Ophelia into the most powerful eastern Atlantic hurricane ever seen
Record-smashing Ophelia slams into Ireland with 119 mph gusts.

...Ophelia joins a hurricane season for the record books, one that included:

- Harvey, a once-in-25,000-year, “beyond anything experienced” storm
- Irma, the most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic
- Maria, which exploded from a Category 1 storm to Category 5 superstorm in one da

An "unusual" reddish sky and red-looking sun have been reported across many parts of England.
The phenomenon was initially seen in the west of England and Wales before spreading to other areas.
BBC weather presenter Simon King said it was due to the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia dragging in tropical air and dust from the Sahara.
He added that debris from forest fires in Portugal and Spain was also playing a part.
The dust has caused shorter wavelength blue light to be scattered, making it appear red.

You heard wrong. Those subsidies for low-income recipients of ACA assistance are written into law, the recipients receive them whether Congress appropriates funds or not. You're thinking about the CSR payments to insurers, which Congress made part of the appropriations process and which Trump decided not to continue on an emergency basis.

Y'all might be taken more seriously on topics if you did even a few moment's research before posting, how hard is it to Google ****? Sheesh

You should be alarmed. But as of right now there hasn't been anything seriously damaging to the law yet. What Trump has done is invoked a lot of uncertainty into the health care market, at the exact time that people are going to have to enroll in coverage for next year. That's going to cause premiums to rise even more than they may have otherwise.
