For the good of the country, Republican leaders need to start engaging in basic bipartisanship to end the Republican-created health care cost crisis and the widespread misery of this Trump shutdown.

One of my favorite annual @democracynow.org traditions is that we always play this video of James Earl Jones reading Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?"
If you've never read or heard the speech, it's well worth your time.
