The time for talk is over, the time for action is now.
If Congressional Republicans don't act to extend the health care tax credits by next week, millions of Americans will see their premiums double or even triple.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Cotton: "Yes, it appears they were being eaten by sharks, but it's certainly possible they were recruiting those sharks to join the fight. A shark is capable of carrying up to 30 kilos of fentanyl on its shark back, using bungee cords. That's a risk we simply cannot take."
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Whoo Boy! Day 1 of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting is over. Here are some summary thoughts.
TL;DR: RKFJ’s ACIP members are completely unqualified for the job but are now (ironically) calling themselves "CDC experts". They are not. Do not trust ACIP recommendations.
