Trevor Lawrence memes, Chiefs heartbreak, and the truth about America’s healthcare fight. Trevor Lawrence was caught picking his nose on the sidelines just minutes before driving down the field on the Chiefs’ defense — capping it off with a game-winning touchdown rush after tripping twice. Then we pivot to politics. The government shutdown drags on, largely over disagreements about healthcare spending. The left wants to reinstate funding cut from the One Big Beautiful Bill and extend subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. Without those subsidies, nearly 25 million Americans will face higher premiums starting in January. From college tuition to healthcare, anything backed by the federal government seems to inflate faster than everything else — and these subsidies are just a band-aid on a much bigger issue. We also break down healthcare spending for non-citizens and illegal immigrants, and why it’s a problem even if it’s a small share of total costs. Finally, Jimmy Kimmel brags about polling better than Donald Trump — and we point out that anyone getting Trump-level media hate would be lucky to have numbers that close.
