House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich.

Thread on the next steps of the process.

An Opposition Worthy Of Its Name We should all have realistic expectations, but Democrats could absolutely do better. Here's how.

The amateur poster panics and rushes to clarify his original post when the replies begin misconstruing it. Whereas the veteran does nothing because he is already working on his next post. His enemies are forever arguing with the wind
