On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers
He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command."

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

A typical family of four in WA state would see a $12,400 increase in their annual premiums if Republicans don't help us extend the ACA credits.
That is the equivalent to an extra YEAR’s worth of groceries just to afford the same health care plan they had last year.
