Last Week Tonight with John Oliver was hard to watch this week. I was not aware of the “felony murder” charge, and I went to school for criminal justice (although quite a while ago). It’s infuriating how the law has been used to sentence people for life even though they didn’t actually kill anyone.

@democrats.senate.gov

The latest continuing resolution (CR) includes a provision that would allow lawmakers to sue the federal government for up to $500,000 if their phone records are searched without notification.

Did you know that was in there? Shaheen said she was unaware. Did you read it?

Capitulation is his melatonin.
Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

Republicans have a king, and Democrats have a bunch of jesters.

As PT Barnum would say, “there’s one born every minute.”
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

To quote Molly Novak from the show Loot:

This guy got a lot of participation trophies as a kid.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

It’s estimated that 23% of drivers never have an accident. Maybe they shouldn’t have to have car insurance.

Milquetoast in human form.
Angus King: "This initial strategy didn't work. And now we have one. We're gonna have a guaranteed vote on the ACA, and it may not succeed. I grant that. But a reasonable chance -- 10, 20, 30% -- is a lot better than 0% which is where we were."

@schumer.senate.gov is this a parody account?
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Go brag to FAX News about how you got nothing. Make sure you have a sturdy chair since you obviously have no backbone.

Dedicated to all the @democrats.senate.gov who caved and the “man” who made it possible, @schumer.senate.gov.

It certainly feels like a Cheap Trick.
