Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

The versatility of Gov Newsom may mean we regain the House; the failure of the Senate Dem Caucus to show versatility will cause much pain - Dem Senators Masto, Kaine, Durban, Fetterman, Hassan, Rosen, Shaheen, & King failed the moment.

Oh come on Kate.You are brilliant but so partisan.
You said the Prime Minister would rather concentrate on the soap opera than his budget. How ridiculous.
He is going across Canada talking about his budget.
He acts as an adult. Not so PP.

What’s up? A vision of where we’ll be if Reform ever gained power in the UK. No BBC and no NHS and a further massive redistribution of wealth from the workers to the already obscenely rich.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.
