Democrats are banking on backlash to Republicans’ Medicaid cuts to boost them in next year’s midterms.

There’s just one problem: The cuts haven’t happened yet.
Democrats thought they found their midterm message on the megabill — but it could hit some snags
“I think that there are some people who are like, ‘Well, I’m not on Medicaid, so it’s not going to affect me,'" said one Dem candidate.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.

Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.

I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.
