I actually do want the next president to appoint someone like Stephen Miller, except I want it to be Bill Kristol, and I want his monomaniacal obsession to be destroying Trump’s legacy and prosecuting everyone in the administration.

Be mad at the Republicans not doing their job by not writing a budget, let alone passing it instead of our weak kneed members.

Looking at the guys, for however briefly you see them in the video, and the fact that they were immediately all over Hasan the moment he pulled out a Mao meme, tells me that these were not the regular people’s (armed) police, but the MSS

SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.
President Trump criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during a Fox News interview tonight, saying people "get it automatically now so the number is many times what it should be, it's disgraceful."
Trump says "we can reform" SNAP
"SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out," Trump said on Fox News this evening.

I'm waiting for the one that was prophesied, the man who would unite the kingdom, Stephen M. Begich-Sullivan. His campaign slogan: "I'm all the familiar names so don't think, just fill the box." The M is for Murkowski.

Massachusetts Republicans are so cooked that they're trying to attack Michelle Wu for "wasting" taxpayer money by visiting Nova Scotia to pick up Boston’s annual Christmas tree.

Now who's waging a War on Christmas, huh?

He's a weak avuncular type always working full throttle behind the scenes against me.
I gotta say the evidence that Schumer is secretly controlling the cave caucus is some real thin gruel. It basically rests on the assumption of a level of Senate partisan discipline normally seen in a parliamentary democracy when it isn't just leaning on even grosser "perfidious jew" tropes.

We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Republicans just don't care about your health care.

There is no universe in which Senate Republicans vote to extend ACA subsidies.

It. Will. Not. Happen.

All Senate Democrats can do is make it excruciatingly clear to the American people that this is the logical consequence of giving Republicans complete control of the government.
The Senate has rejected a plan from Sen. Tammy Baldwin D-WI to extend the expiring Obamacare health insurance subsidies for 1 year. Party line vote.

The rest of the world is going to end up using the US as a leper colony.
Measles was once considered eliminated in Canada, but not anymore — there have been more than 5,000 cases in the last 12 months as vaccination rates have fallen. Here's how they got there, and why other countries — including the U.S. and Mexico — are also at risk of losing their status.
