Cenk Uygur hosting from YouTube Space LA. Ambassador Jenny is on her way to Chicago and will be holding TYT Meetups along the way. Check out tytnetwork.com/meetups for more info on the schedule. Cenk gives an Indiegogo campaign update. Fox News continues to hammer the Obama administration on “lying” about being able to keep an existing health care plan if chosen over new options available from the implementation of the ACA. It turns out that this promise wasn’t true, but most are finding new plans to be superior to their current healthcare plan. Many healthcare plans’ costs cannot be determined yet with the ongoing website glitches obscuring subsidies that may be available, but not shown. Some healthcare companies such as Humana are taking advantage of the ACA rollout confusion by sending out misleading letters tricking some of their customers to sign up for more expensive plans even though they aren’t necessary to comply with the legislation. According to Mark Halperen’s new book about the Obama administration, Double Down, President Obama was overheard as saying he’s “really good at killing people,” while discussing the drone strike program. Whether or not the exact words were spoken by the president is questionable, the substance is not.

Russian Nationalists held a rally in Moscow in which anti-immigration laws and other far-right policies were demanded. Senator Rand Paul and Rachel Maddow have been trading jabs over Maddow and others’ accusations of plagiarism.
