Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.

REMINDER: Republicans canceled votes this week.
They would rather shut down the government than reverse their devastating cuts to Americans’ health care.

The more you learn about healthcare insurance, the better Medicare4All looks.
Internal documents and former company executives revealed how Cigna doctors rejected patients’ claims without opening their files.
“We literally click and submit,” one former company doctor said.

Why did he agree to come on then? Pretty sad when the propaganda you're pushing falls apart under questioning and you just bail.
I mean, at least his cohorts would make up a stupid lie and pretend they knew what they were talking about. This is weak.

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.
No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.
That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

Trump is a billionaire who is trying to take your health care away by pitting you against brown people who are not even eligible for ACA subsidies. He wants vulnerable white people fighting vulnerable brown people, so that no one pays attention to the billionaire trying to consolidate power.
