Red Alert: Protect Our Health Care
Earlier this week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declared a “red alert” on health care. He said we are not doing enough. The phones are silent in Congress, he said. This allows the Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, to keep drafting their revisions to the “mean” House bill (to quote Trump) outside public view. Their […]

Trump is a danger to the country. He has shown that he has no understanding of important aspects of his job and he is reckless with classified information. Even conservative columnists are calling him a “child” whose brain works like “six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar,” and who should be removed by the exercise […]

To have a special prosecutor, Congress must act. Today, John McCain had a Facebook Townhall during which he said, “only after public outcry was a 9/11 select committee established”. People think he may have ben signaling that we need to keep up the pressure. Thus, every day from now until a Special Prosecutor is appointed, […]

Here is where we are, as stated by Indivisible: Today is a setback, but we always knew the House would be tough for us. We were never supposed to win the House. It’s a majoritarian institution—the party in power sets the rules and decides what gets a vote. Everybody assumed that Trump’s lackeys would jam […]

We are lucky to have Congressman Tom O’Halleran who voted against this nightmare of a bill. But, he will have a re-election fight in 2018 and our job is to defend him. Moreover, the elements of Trumpcare are representative of the Republican party. Every race in 2018, from Senator Flake to LD-6, is a contest […]

Yet another new amendment to TrumpCare would allow $8 billion more to cover people with pre-existing conditions. No one knows if that’s enough. The bill still allows states to cut essential benefits that are now required under all insurance policies, thus hurting patients who need those benefits by either eliminating them or increasing their costs. […]

“I would hope it gets changed over there,” Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.) told Bloomberg News, echoing other “moderate” members who explicitly said they were willing to pass Trumpcare 3.0 in hopes that the Senate would strip out the harsher provisions. Provisions like pushing sick people into high-risk pools where the cost of their insurance […]

TrumpCare 3.0 is likely to come to a vote early this week. The House Rules Committee will meet Monday and Republicans have spent the weekend rustling up votes. This morning, Trump went on Face The Nation and tweeted misleading info about coverage for pre-existing conditions under TrumpCare 3.0. Yes, it would have “a pool for the pre-existing […]
