Today, I’m remembering the courage of John McCain when he voted to protect the ACA and keep millions of Americans from losing insurance.
Protecting and strengthening healthcare for the American people should be something both parties can agree on, and I won’t stop fighting for it.

They already won. Why would they bother to negotiate now?
Meanwhile Squeaker Johnson is busy trying to figure out how to end the shutdown without swearing in the new rep who will sign the discharge petition. Until Trump convinces Nancy Mace to unsign it, this is a big problem for them.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.
