If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

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

Trump administration will provide partial SNAP benefits following court orders

The headline youβre looking for is βDespite court order, Trump Administration denies 1/2 of SNAP benefitsβ , @startribune.com

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.
