To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

Barack Obama is not making royalties on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare. The ACA is a federal law, and former presidents or government officials do not receive royalties or any form of direct payment from legislation they sign into law.

Met someone at a party last night who played in the band. Super vibed over him.
Talked to him on a break and I made some minimal reference to something something elections — to which he replied, "Oh, I don't vote."
What an absolute buzzkill.

Sorry, are the Democrats talking about funding the government without ACA assurances?
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Dems need to start talking more about how Trump’s dementia means that he can’t distinguish his fantasies from reality. He has completely lost touch with the real world and only knows what his sycophantic courtiers are telling him.

Honestly, why would anyone expect 47 to pay attention to the courts?
SCOTUS gave him a free pass to do whatever he (and Miller. And Bannon. And Thiel. And Vought) wants to do in his duties as "President."
And he'll pardon all of em.
