Indeed, those who absurdly advocated for the criminal imbecile, clearly pandering to that infantile megalomaniac, look very foolish.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "This whole thing about the Nobel Peace Prize I think is silly. Do the right thing. Try to create peace. Lobbying for an award -- to me it looks unseemly."

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

How can such a disappointing job report be possible?

With an administration purportedly led by a (self-proclaimed) business ‘genius’ who is more knowledgeable than every economist, broadly implementing tariffs to make our businesses and economy the best in the world.

What has gone wrong? 🤔😏

Watching the president of my alma mater speak out forcefully in support of academic freedom and free speech and moral courage and good God it is so refreshing to actually see leadership in this arena (and leadership, period)

What a really tough outcome to swallow for delusional, self-important, misogynistic, racist, contrarian old white men.

The Nobel Peace Prize is denied to an unquestionably inappropriate person. It makes many who advocated for an unqualified person look foolish.

Congrats, Maria Corina Machado!

In a brilliant and well deserved move, an (1) antifa (2) Latina (3) woman, María Corina Machado, wins for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.

Ten percent of Gazans have been killed or wounded — mostly women, children, & the elderly.

The U.S. has sent $22 billion taxpayer dollars to facilitate Netanyahu's slaughter.

This ceasefire must hold, the hostages must be freed, aid must flow and this horrific war must end.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

This seems to support Comey’s claims that his indictment is malicious prosecution motivated by retribution. Which James could also cite.

This is complete absurd and unacceptable weaponizing the DOJ by the criminal imbecile invading our Oval Office.

Actually NOW is the time to have the vote.

Not that anyone doubts Republicans can be trusted on honoring… well, anything. But more importantly any delays continue to threaten Americans having affordable healthcare or any healthcare for many.

An up or down vote on extending the ACA subsidies, and I would add a separate up or down vote the same day to release the Epstein files.
