Johnson Now Iffy On O’care Repeal After News Of McConnell’s Backroom Assurances – Talking Points Memo

Double dealing by Mitch "the Schmoo" McConnell could doom this bill.  The job we, the people, is to make sure that a). corporate media, at both the national and local, has to remain aware and have stories about the Republican Senate version of repeal AHA and b). to keep up the pressure on all Republican Senators through email, fax, in person visits and civil disobedience actions to local offices and civil disobedience actions, and other non traditional actions to show that their constituents are fighting for their lives.

Pence Uses His Medicaid Expansion Plan as Sales Pitch to Governors

Incredible arrogance to tell governors that they have the "freedom" to design their own Medicaid program when the funding will be cut and capped.  How can any governor enjoy the "freedom" when you have a, for example Colorado, 800 million dollars less per year to work with due to expansion, which does not include the cap per individual part for the entire state program?



Ask Mike how can he have a Medicaid program that will be effective in covering qualified people with hundreds of millions of dollars less in funding.  Can you imagine a huge population state like California which would be in the billions of dollars?



Governor's should tell Mike and his boss Trump to become Medicaid recipients and see how their Senate Republican health care plan would work.

Open thread for night owls: Trump regime okays exploratory drilling in the Arctic Ocean

Drill, baby, drill!  In any part of America because "Freedom"!  Maximizing American oil production when the market is flooded with oil makes a lot of "good" business sense by Mr. "You're Fired".



Damn the torpedoes!  What will be left of this planet when the seventh generation rolls around?

READ: Senate GOP Releases Revised Obamacare Repeal Bill – Talking Points Memo

Republicans still want to harm tens of millions of Americans by changing the basics of how Medicaid funds patients.  This kind of "thinking" will actively harm the disabled, elderly, and children.  Think of it this way:  Your grandma will be coming to live with you.  Essentially Republicans are telling you that you will be at the mercy of the Big Health and Big Pharma because they are all for you to have the freedom to lose your coverage due to your moral failing to live a healthy life.

Trump Administration Is Illegally Keeping Out Asylum Seekers, Lawsuit Says | HuffPost

TrumpLanders' treat those seeking asylum this way, cited from the lawsuit,:



"The lawsuit describes several examples of abuses allegedly committed by CBP agents to keep people from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. They include: “grabbing an asylum seeker’s six-year-old daughter’s arm and throwing her down onto the ground; holding a gun to an asylum seeker’s back and forcing her out of the [port of entry]; knocking a transgender asylum seeker to the ground and stepping on her neck; telling an asylum seeker she was scaring her five-year-old son by persisting in her request for asylum and accusing her of being a bad mother; laughing at an asylum-seeking mother and her three children and mocking the asylum seeker’s thirteen-year-old son who has cerebral palsy; and yelling profanities at an asylum-seeking mother and her five-year-old son, throwing her to the ground, and forcefully pressing her cheek into the pavement.”

Trump: ‘I Will Be Very Angry’ If Senate Doesn’t Repeal Obamacare – Talking Points Memo

Tyrant Trump sits on his fat a** waiting to sign a bill that would have tens of millions of Americans lose their healthcare insurance in order to pay for the hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts for the 1%.  If he doesn't sign the Republican bill that will have tens of thousands of American dying needlessly then he will get "very angry".  Tyrant Trump is a traitor to the oath he swore upon the Bible to the US Constitution.

U.S. Set To Reach Trump's Desired Refugee Cap As Revised Travel Ban Goes Into Effect | HuffPost

Trumpland is a heartless and cruel land.  Refugees are people running from the "mouth of a shark".  Fearing people who are fleeing from war and devastation of their homes is the opposite of who we are as a nation (never the racist/facist "homeland") and as a people.  Every single day Trump spits on the Statue of Liberty.

GOP Rep. On Meeting With Russian For Dirt: I ‘Probably’ Would Have Done Same – Talking Points Memo

He should be kicked out of Congress for wanting to work with a foreign power in the US elections that contravenes US law.  He is willfully stating that he no longer will uphold and defend the US Constitution.  This is what the Republican party has come to- standing for political power by any means possible.
