I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.
It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane
It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.
Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?
Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.
Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.
Matt, you’re asking the right question, and it deserves a real answer.
What does a free Iran do for America?
It eliminates the regime that has killed hundreds of American troops through its proxies, plotted to assassinate Trump on American soil, and threatened him again on Iranian state TV in January 2026.
It takes Iran's massive energy reserves off the terrorism ledger and puts them on global markets. That means lower energy prices for American consumers and less leverage for Russia and China.
It removes the most dangerous nuclear proliferation threat on earth. As of mid-2025, Iran had over 400 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, a short step from weapons-grade, and the IAEA said breakout time was essentially zero. A nuclear Iran triggers Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt to follow. That's a nightmare for American security.
It ends a 45-year money pit. Every carrier group in the region, every base we maintain to contain Islamic Republic proxies, that's American tax dollars managing a problem that never resolves under this regime.
It opens one of the last untapped major markets. The Iran Prosperity Project, the blueprint for the transition to democracy, has a phased transition plan ready to go, specifically designed so this doesn't become another Iraq.
You say Iran was set back on its nuclear program. It was. By years. And yet they showed they were determined to rebuild it. That's why setbacks aren't enough. The regime is the problem.
You say Iran is a paper tiger. It's weak in a conventional fight, yes. That doesn't mean it's not dangerous. A regime with ballistic missiles, proxies across several countries, and near-weapons-grade uranium is a serious threat.
The Iranian people are pro-American. Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has built a transition framework so this doesn't require American nation-building. The goal is an Iran that governs itself, trades with us, and stops draining American blood and treasure.
You're right to demand these answers. Perhaps they indeed haven’t been made clearly enough from day one. But the case is there, and it's strong.
The NFL continues to use replay to correct some calls but not to correct obvious missed calls. This creates a credibility problem. When replay is used to move the spot of a ball 6 inches or used to see if the QB’s knee touched the ground— but can’t be used to see if he was tripped or can’t be used to see if the clock is at :00 when players are pointing to the clock it creates issues.
We either need to correct ALL OBVIOUS missed calls or we need to let the officials call the games on the field and live with it

-Is there a world in which you could ever see yourself playing for that franchise ever again?

As a Black man, it hurts my soul to see people call Charlie Kirk a racist. I knew him personally and I can tell you, he was nothing but kind to me. Charlie never looked at me as a color, he looked at me as a friend, as a brother.
He went out of his way to help me, to open doors for me, to make sure I had opportunities I didn’t even ask for. That’s who he was, just generous, thoughtful, and loyal.
To hear people smear his name with lies is painful, because I knew the real Charlie. He wasn’t about division, he was about lifting people up, no matter where they came from or what they looked like.
And honestly, this all still feels unreal. I still cry, It’s hard to accept that he’s gone. A man who gave so much, who inspired so many, taken from us too soon.
Charlie Kirk was more than a leader , he was a husband, father , friend to many of us and a true American patriot.
