MSNBC: Mike Johnson makes the embarrassing mistake of asking for a fact check. Among the uncomfortable encounters was a man who accused him of lying about illegal immigrants draining Medicaid. Johnson challenged the man to "look at the documents".

We knew RFKjr was as crazy as a soup sandwich, but this?!

RFK Jr.’s comments on circumcision and autism draw sharp criticism

Kennedy's comments were met with incredulity, skepticism and snark.

If GOP wants to abolish the filibuster over this, awesome. It helps Rs way more than Ds. It’s also a central reason for loss of faith in government over the last 25 yrs. Rs can reopen the govt tonight if they want. If they want to do it to make sure 15 million lose their health care that’s on them.

Kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance doesn't mean people won't get sick.

It makes health care more expensive for everyone.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Undocumented immigrants don't—and can’t—get healthcare through the ACA or Medicaid.

Republicans are lying so that you blame immigrants instead of blaming them directly for breaking their promises, making your healthcare more expensive, and prioritizing wealthy donors over our wellbeing
