People helping people because the president and his administration refuse to.

I’m at the Capitol, it’s past midnight, and as of right now, Republicans do not have the votes to pass their Big Bad Betrayal Bill and kick 17 million Americans off their health care.
Democrats are united in our opposition. Let’s keep up the pressure and kill this bill.
