CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

There's a stunning provision tucked into the budget bill that would limit courts' ability to enforce contempt orders, and therefore to uphold the rule of law.

This deserves real alarm. If the Senate values the separation of powers, it must remove the provision.

I've spent years reporting on how democracies die. And I've noticed something: by international standards, Donald Trump is really, really bad at destroying a democracy.

And that should give us real reason for hope. www.vox.com/politics/410...

James: Whenever he issues an executive order, it’s the blue wall of defense. The attorneys general all across this country are responding in record time—defending the rights of individuals, defending the rule of law, and standing up for our democracy and for our freedom. We’ll continue to do that

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down.

All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires. 

NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.
