1. Maduro is not a good guy by any stretch of the imagination.
2. But capturing him through an extra-legal action that violates international law undermines any US credibility with Russia in Ukraine and China with Taiwan.
3. We have a terrible history with topping leaders without a post-war plan.

Important resource for accessing health care in the absence of ACA subsidies.
Millions of people are losing health insurance after Congress allowed enhanced ACA subsidies to expire. This was a policy decision. A Choice.
For many households, coverage hasn't become optional, it's become unaffordable.
This isn't a personal failure. It's a policy failure.

Our Afghan Allies stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us, we must stand with and for them.
Five years ago, they risked their lives to support American troops in Afghanistan. Now, refugees across the U.S. are a target of the administration in the wake of the National Guard shooting.

We here at CI have long memories. Joe Morelle voted to impeach Trump the first time. But today, he voted to table the articles of impeachment presented by Rep. Green. So tell us @morelle.house.gov, are Trump's actions now not impeachable, but they were in 2019?

When people learn how the Republican budget bill would take from the poor to give to the rich—a reverse Robin Hood—they’re overwhelmingly against it.
But too many people haven’t heard about it.
