Nancy Pelosi moved heaven and earth to get Henry Cuellar installed and keep Jessica Cisneros out. He was one of the three (D) defectors here. Everyone who ever stuck up for either of them is a dog's dick with a separate, smaller dog's dick for a brain
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

The cruel irony of Republicans voting down ACA subsidies is that it will end up hurting Trump voters the most.

Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.
