Democrats came ready to lower health care costs.

Republicans walked away and shut down the government.

Everyone assemble at military base entrances. Signs:
Restore & Protect the Constitution
Remove Trump Administration
#NewElections
That's not a coup, it's duty with a corrupt govt. They need to know the public supports it!

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

I think the Dems have done a good job on hammering the GOP into a corner on health care. But in the grand scheme that’s a safe space/easy pull for them. They need to replicate that consistency with the other issues.
