So insurers found a loophole, slipping these deductibles into loosely regulated surplus line policies sold to the very people who already couldn’t find coverage anywhere else. They were told to stop years ago.
They did it anyway.

sometimes 50 percent of a home’s coverage, more than $3.5 million in one case, that a family has to pay out of pocket before a wildfire claim gets a dime.
California law already bans this.
A fire is a fire, and the law says your home is covered no matter how it burns.
Californians, read this and get angry.
After many in our state lost everything in last year’s fires, insurance companies quietly buried “wildfire deductibles” in their policies.
Not the standard deductible.
A separate one,

Eighteen people have died in ICE custody in the first five months of this year. ICE is on pace to pass last year’s toll, which was already the highest in two decades. So what is ICE doing about it?
It is making the deaths harder to count.
Look at who Trump is choosing. His former criminal defense lawyer for Attorney General. A housing official with zero intelligence experience is set to run our spy agencies, picked mainly for his record of filing charges against the president’s critics.
Blanche and Pulte must not be confirmed.
Every rigged contract and every dropped case is paid for by families who follow the rules.
This is not about left or right.
It is about whether the same laws apply to everyone.
I will not look away, and neither should you.
I take no corporate PAC money and I do not trade individual stocks, because the day public office becomes a tool to enrich insiders, it stops being public service.
We are building a coalition to shut down the self-dealing, force real transparency, and make sure no one, in either party, gets to treat public office as a personal cash machine.
Here is why this matters to me, and why it should matter to you no matter how you vote.
This is exactly why I helped launch the End Corruption Caucus.
The fundraising contract actually allows the names and amounts to be hidden. When the powerful can buy contracts and buy their way out of accountability, in secret, that is not a healthy democracy. That is a pay to play scheme running out of the People’s House.
Investigations into some of the largest companies in the country, quietly easing away right as the money flowed in. Give to the President’s pet project, and your government problems have a way of disappearing.
And the White House still will not say how much each donor gave.
Of the 27 known corporate donors, 16 are facing federal enforcement actions that have since been suspended, dropped, or scaled back under this administration. Antitrust reviews. Labor cases.
The corporations bankrolling President Trump’s new $400 million White House ballroom have been handed more than $50 BILLION in new or expanded federal contracts in just the six months since they wrote those checks.
It gets worse.
We will either end corruption or corruption will be the end of us.
Look at what the watchdogs just found.
The EPA exists to protect people, not to protect the profit margins of the people poisoning them.
Every American deserves to know what is happening. #TrumpMakesUsSick
You can make risk disappear on paper.
The cancer does not disappear.
The birth defects do not disappear.
The infertility does not disappear.
The kids drinking the water and getting sick do not disappear.
They are even throwing out research on how certain chemicals hit certain communities harder, calling decades of established science “DEI.”
They have installed former chemical industry lobbyists to run the very offices that are supposed to regulate the chemical industry.
A gift to industry, paid for with your family’s health.
When a safety test on a household chemical shows danger, supervisors reportedly ask to keep shrinking the scenario until the poison looks safe.
They have reassigned senior scientists to paperwork and handed life-and-death risk assessments to staff with less experience.
Scientists at Trump’s EPA say they are being told to make chemical risks “disappear on paper.”
Not to study or manage them, but to make them vanish. 🧵
