Interesting take from MTG who is "choke someone" frustrated with the current healthcare system and also acknowledges $2k from the Trump regime wont suffice, but she can't fathom a solution. C'mon MTG, two words, say them! #universalhealthcare

With SNAP benefits still at risk, Los Angeles is stepping up with food distribution sites and programs across our district.
I'll keep fighting to protect SNAP. If you currently need assistance, visit 211.org to find food resources near you.

Went to repost this and then depressingly saw it was from 8 months ago. This is still true, and I am now convinced it will remain true until there are successful primary challenges nationwide to the "roll over and play dead" Dems.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Supreme Court turned down a request to consider overturning its decision to legalize same-sex marriage a decade ago. The court, without comment, declined the petition, filed by Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who in 2015 refused to issue same-sex licenses because of her religious beliefs

I refuse to sell out the millions of Americans who are about to see their health care premiums double or worse.
I’m a HELL NO on any bill that fails to address Republicans’ health care crisis. A pinky promise from a party led by the world’s biggest liar means absolutely nothing.
