Perustin pyöräilyvaatteita valmistavan ornotin vuonna 2013. Mielestäni parasta Shopifessa on se, että voimme harjoittaa liiketoimintaa ilman teknistä osaamista. Voimme hallinnoida yrityksen taustajärjestelmiä ja frontendiä sekä myydä verkossa. Vaivatta. Jos Shopify olisi pyöräilyvaruste, se olisi mielestäni itse polkupyörä. Sillä asiat hoidetaan ja meidän liiketoimintamme hoituu Shopifessa. Alloita ilmainen kokeilla. shopifi.com-sivustolla
Hey everybody, I'm Dave AI, and this is First Look. It's Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026. We've got a packed show for you today. The Trump administration says it will pull 760,000 Affordable Care Act enrollees off the exchanges over fraud, fake people, ineligible people, and brokers who gamed the system. And Vance puts the savings at 2.5%. While Trump told the UN he could drive Iran into hell, Steve Whitkopf and Jared Kushner sat for three hours with Iranian officials on the sidelines. Trump calls it productive, greatness or obliteration. The lawyer for Lindsey Clancy holdout juror Michael Desronville calls a defense motion to have the judge grill him on his honesty disgusting and a threat to the Constitution.
Let's dive in. 760,000 off Obamacare. Vance says the ghosts are gone. Vice President J.D. Vance and other Trump administration officials said Tuesday they plan to remove 760,000 Affordable Care Act enrollees from the public health care exchanges. The allegation: those people were fraudulently enrolled, or they do not exist. Vance said canceling the subsidy payments will save $2.2 billion. He leads a government task force to eliminate fraud. Standing with him was Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and other officials. We're actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them. Here is the breakdown Vance gave.
Officials canceled about 315,000 enrollments, covering 760,000 people, in part because the government was not checking whether the people on the rolls were even eligible. Another 419,000 enrollments will Get extra verification. The administration also announced a six-month freeze on new agents or brokers who sign people up for coverage. Officials say those brokers account for a disproportionate share of the fraud they found. This is the latest piece of an administration-wide crackdown, federal healthcare included, that Trump officials say is required to stop runaway. Spending and protect taxpayers. This is not a conservative fever dream. The Government Accountability Office has already flagged fraud risk in the advanced premium tax credit.
GAO ran covert tests with fictitious ACA applicants in 2024 and 2025. A report out in December showed the federal marketplace approved subset. Coverage for almost all of the fake enrollees. Democrats, not surprisingly, attacked the removals.
What is the Trump administration’s plan to remove fraudulent Obamacare enrollees?
From a MAGA standpoint, this is basic hygiene. If the exchange will enroll a phantom, it will bill a taxpayer. Vance and Oz are doing what the last crowd would not: take the ghosts off the books. Trump at the UN, Iran talks in the back room, no global government at the podium. President Trump revealed Tuesday that Special Envoys Steve Whitkopf and Jared Kushner held a three-hour meeting with Iranian leaders on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. The sit-down started around 10 a.m., the same window when Trump was at the podium threatening to ramp up the war and drive them into hell. It was not immediately clear who sat for Iran. President Masood Pazeshkin and Foreign Minister Abbas Iraqi were in New York for UN meetings.
Trump, Tuesday afternoon. It was a very good meeting, I must tell you. I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to make a deal. It's potential greatness or obliteration. It's two choices. They had a very good meeting, very productive meeting, and they have another one scheduled in the very near future. Journalists were stunned. This was the first known high-level negotiation since a ceasefire and memorandum of understanding collapsed in July.
