This is about protecting affordable health care for millions of families across the country!

This is why we're fighting, and we're not backing down.

"It was defeated 48 to 40 before it reached first reading, a rare occurrence for proposed legislation."

Good, but also too close for comfort. We don't need to be indulging in a US-style moral panic over trans rights.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Ut oh.

Yesterday I reported that just 18% of the cases against people arrested September 27-28 at Broadview in Chicago had survived.

Make that 9% -- they just moved to dismiss another case.

Disrespectful? I would counter that actually busting down a door the way ICE agents do, smashing a car window, or zip-tying children is a lot more "disrespectful" than some guy singing about it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene more honest than the NYT and WaPo when it comes to who is responsible for the shutdown.

Imagine being a newspaper that's less trustworthy and honest than a sitting Republican and one of Trump's closest allies. Truly wild shit.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on polls showing Republicans are getting blamed for the shutdown: "I'm not putting the blame on the president. I'm actually putting the the blame on the Speaker and Leader Thune in the Senate. This should not be happening ... we control the House & Senate & have the WH."
