As I have mentioned before, the first time I had a smartphone with GPS while driving in Boston (as opposed to a MapQuest printout), the heavens opened, angels sang, and not once did I drive the wrong way down Mass Ave yelling FUCK.
And yes, I have had my first mammogram.

A republican told me he didn't have to worry about O'bama care premiums going up because he didn't have that kind of ins. When I asked what kind he had, he said, that "affordable" ins. From the government. SMH

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help.
We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party

“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!”

Senator, I have called your office literally dozens of times in the past year and done everything but scream and swear to get you to draw the line with the fascists. This is simply a lie.

Likewise, absolutely no Congressional dynasty for @stefanyshaheen.com either.
Other than extending SuCo’s “shame on you” chant so this man never knows a minute of peace, I don’t know how to punish Angus King for this.
We can, however, make sure that his son, who is running for governor, gets no where near the Blaine house.

So if the Senate passes this "deal" is that it, or does the House still have to vote?

Any movement toward weakening the ACA should be considered utterly and wholly unacceptable coming from Democrats. Protecting the ACA is THE BAREST MINIMUM THEY CAN AND SHOULD BE DOING.
