Before Tom Cotton defended an indefensible murder
He suggested that peaceful protesters should be thrown off the Golden Gate Bridge
And before that, he advocated for Trump to use troops against protesters-implying they should be shot

Anyone else want to put Tom Cotton on top of a capsized boat in international waters miles away from Venezuela and see how helpless he is?
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

The old catchphrase "run the government like a business" has never made sense, definitionally. Most government services are things no business would ever do, because not all human needs can be contorted into a profit-generating activity.

Roe was decided by the Court. If republicans tell the dems they’ll agree to health care, but only if it excludes women, do you think they’ll take the deal? How could we possibly predict such a difficult decision except for by looking at the exact same one for all of American history.
Democrats say they are willing to negotiate on the issue. But they argue that two main issues are holding up talks: the lack of input from President Donald Trump, and Republicans’ insistence that abortion funding be part of the discussion.
