Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.
Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

It’s Day 10 of the Trump Shutdown.
The government is closed because Republicans don’t want to provide healthcare to working-class Americans.
Extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits NOW.

someone should tell Trump they don't give the Peace Prize to people who blow up boats and murder those on high seas nor to those who deploy military against their own people. NEVER.
