My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate.

But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

McGovern: Listen to this quote from Murkowski who just caved and voted for this. "My hope is that the house is going to look at this and recognize we are not there yet." 

If you really believe that, why the hell did you vote for the bill?

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.

I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.

Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.
Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas.

My loyal companion Bode died last night of canine lymphoma. Since 2016, he was by my side at work and at play. He was always happy and no matter how bad other things were, he always made me smile. Quite simply, he was the best dog ever. I already miss him terribly.

How many of you believe that what has been reported as an assassination attempt in Butler was something that was part of something darker and wider-reaching, and that the American people do not have the truth about what actually happened?
