Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Some say "The Great Gatsby" starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow was a huge career misfire. I enjoyed the film immensely.
May he rest in peace.🙏

"It's tiring being black in America. It's exhausting defending your existence everywhere you go. It's an assault on my identity to keep seeing this nonsense in our nation, and I AM OVERWHELMED."
I agree with Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley wholeheartedly. I too am overwhelmed.

@crockett.house.gov "Fearless These Days" is a song from the new album by country western singer Trisha Yearwood. The song is beautiful and reflective, and reminds me of the fearlessness you possess, Congresswoman Crockett. I hope you enjoy it. youtu.be/e83Yy502hFA

The time to get loud is now. Being passive is not enough. Malcolm Nance's passionate rant breaks my heart, but he is 100% correct. Take a listen.
