She needs to define pedophile.

This doesn't sound good. The whole point of 50501 was to get people involved to help stop the Trump administration and their policies. This seems like it will only hinder that effort.

Agree that new leadership is needed. Schumer is worthless when he can't keep his coalition together or capitulates himself. In addition, many Democrats need to be replaced. I just don't know if it will happen with the way they have the system rigged

Woo hoo! We get to see where Rs stand on lowering healthcare costs. Didn't we already know that? You also mention Rd will vote no on ACA subsidies. So, you are reopening the government knowing people will have their health costs rise because subsidies will be voted down. WTF!!

I am trying to figure that out. They got nothing that will keep millions of Americans from seeing their health insurance cost rise. The vague promise of a vote on ACA subsidies is worthless.

Is Angus King just naive? Does he really believe there is a chance Republicans vote for ACA subsidies?

Alas, you got nothing and gave away everything. Way to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. Republicans got crushed Tuesday and you turned that defeat into a victory for them.

Please primary Schumer. He needs to go.

I wish we could but our politicians suck. One side holds the ball (Repubs) and won't let the other side (Dems) play. That side (Dems) then cries about how mean the other side (Repubs) is and eventually gives in.

Why cave now? The issue of ACA subsidies still isn't solved. People will see their healthcare costs rise. A promise of a vote on them is useless. Do you trust Republicans to actually vote to fix the issue?

It does nothing to solve the issue of ACA subsidies and healthcare costs rising. The main thing they were fighting for. So what was the point?

I will be pissed if they cave. The whole point was to get ACA subsidies extended. We know Republicans won't vote for them. So, the promise of a vote is useless and leaves people screwed. A disgrace.

Jared Golden said he was leaving Congress because he was tired of threats against his family. Why didn't Johnson mention that?

It gives me more hope than I had just a day ago. It makes me feel that maybe just maybe America won't accept the erosion of our rights we have seen

What he doesn't get is Northern Virginia has a population of approximately 2.6 million. Virginia has approximately 8.8 million. That is almost 30% of the population in an area that leans blue. It takes a lot of rural votes to overcome that.
