While standing next to the guy who is making raising a family unreachable, the guy who thinks pregnant women carry the fetus in their placenta is lecturing us about replacing people.

Also, I don't believe his numbers. He is not reputable - not is anyone else in this so called administration.

Mitch is 83 years old. He should have retired long ago. He has become a weak and feckless old drag on society.

In his delusional mind.

I would agree with him. I think the economy is unbelievable ... just not for the same resons he thinks it's unvelievable.

It's unbe-f*ckin-lievably crappy.

Day 15 of a Government Shutdown:

House Republicans are nowhere to be found.

Trump and Johnson are refusing to protect Americans health care.

Notices are going to start rolling out to families across Massachusetts announcing increased health care costs.

The fight goes on.

I was thinking more on a state level. To be honest I haven't a clue how to implement this. Clearly I need to research.

You can be sure if there is a way, I'll be calling my governor or state AG ... or whoever would implement it. I'm sure I'll get a resounding NO but hey, can't hurt to try right?

If they have "pages and pages" of ideas ... why didn't they put those ideas in the bill? Why gut health insurance if you have pages and pages of ideas on how to fix it?

This guy changes his story like most people change their underwear. 🤬

KERNEN: It's like Republicans are in the wilderness about what to do to fix our healthcare

MIKE JOHNSON: Actually, we're not. We're not. We've got pages and pages and pages of ideas of how to reform healthcare. You can't rip Obamacare out at the roots. It's too deeply ingrained now."

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year.

Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

The fact that Republican “fiscal conservatives” in Congress aren’t saying a word about Trump’s $40 billion bailout of Argentina (“America first!!!”) just shows that they’re complete hypocrites.

It is really so weird when MTG agrees with me ... but on this she's right.

Good morning! Today would be a great day to call your local TV and radio stations to ask them to please make sure they have a crew covering the No Kings protest on Saturday. Tell them the locations in case they don't know. And tell them you'll be watching for the coverage.

What could the Ds have done today in anticipation of Roberts Court positioning to gut Sec 2? Basics:
- coordinated press releases from Schumer, Durbin (SJC, Jeffries, Raskin (HJC)
- pr/email from DNC, DCCC chairs
- blasts from Dem Govs
- TV appearances
- Saturating social media to pressure scotus

Please notify President Trump and Vice-President Vance immediately. Isn’t this a mandatory one-year jail sentence—or is this a kind of flag desecration they have no problem with?

Capitol Police called to investigate swastika in GOP congressional office

An American flag altered to include an image of a swastika was found in Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.
