Last week, we learned that the Trump administration had begun sending out $500 checks to Obamacare recipients to reimburse them for so-called “user fee” overcharges.

In tomorrow’s piece, digs into Trump’s myriad cash payment promises to voters and explores how Trump actually got this one to deliver real money to select Americans mere weeks before the election.
And in case you missed it, yesterday explored the various ways Trump is turning the presidency‚ and indeed the entire federal government, into a corrupt family business. By examining how we got here, as well as some analogues for such corrupt autocratic leaders, Democrats can forge a path forward. It won’t be easy, but it’s doable.
