[1/15] The House GOP decimating Medicaid & stealing food from hungry kids in order to finance tax cuts for the wealthiest is a form of violence.
Also, there are myriad cases of *individual* House GOP members engaging in violence. To avoid the memory-hole, here's a House GOP Violence THREAD.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Republicans STILL want to take away your healthcare.
Over the weekend, in the face of the longest federal government shutdown in history, a familiar refrain has arisen from President Trump and other Republicans: Repeal Obamacare.

MORE: The pardon language is extremely broad and could apply to many others too, since it covers anyone who advocates for the false elector slates or who investigated 2020 election fraud.
One person the pardon explicitly excludes: Trump himself.

To put into perspective, vis-a-vis The Simpsons, what the Senate Dem sell-outs are doing by taking the Republican "deal," they're giving away the dental plan AND not even getting the free keg of beer, only the "promise" (wink!) of a future futile vote that will inevitably fail.

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.

I think this ends Chuck Schumar's career or at least it should. First the politics are bad for elected Democrats. You make the rising cost of healthcare the fault of Democrats and Republicans. So you make 2026 competitive races and the "conservative" Dems less electable. The politics are BAD.
