So since the election this song has been in my head, in my dreams once a day. It's going to be a long four years. Hopefully it's only four.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.
The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

The ACA (Obamacare) is only available to AMERICANS or anyone legally in this country. It is not even accessible without the proper legal paperwork. So the BS about system abuse by 'illegal' individuals is complete crap.
And I should know, I was in corp healthcare for over 25+ years.

Republicans are insisting on a budget that'll kick millions off healthcare and raise costs for the rest of us. If they dropped these cruel demands, the Trump Shutdown would end today.

The ACA (Obamacare), while expensive, gave more Americans access to healthcare than any other time in the 20th & 21st century
The ACA included an expansion of Medicaid. It included preventative tests, it removed life-time $ limits.
And Republican Leadership wants this to go away. Ask them why.

Republicans have shut down the government to take healthcare away from millions of Americans and give Trump a blank check for his illegal power grab.

As someone that worked in a Fortune 300 health insurance company at the corporate level for over 10 years, we f*cking need national health insurance.

It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

Yes, he said "martyrdom." Remember, we don't even know who killed the man or why.

A sad moment for the Senate and the country.
Republicans just confirmed Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
Yes, the same Judge Jeanine that even Fox News said was “crazy” and had to take off the air.
How can they vote to confirm these people?
