Supreme Court declines to revisit gay marriage decision The challenge to the court's 2015 ruling came from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue same-sex licenses after the court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

This is a substantive study into the costs of Brexit and adds to the evidence that the cost as estimated by the OBR of 4% GDP is accurate or perhaps an under-statement - which also tallies with people's perceptions. The UK has simply become less competitive.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.

And make health insurance affordable.

The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.

I'm voting no.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

People want more affordable health insurance, not a savings account.

This is just a Republican bait-and-switch to repeal Obamacare for the 70th time.

Let’s get serious β€” extend the health care tax credits and open the government.

The Trump Administration will go to any length β€” including appeal to the highest court in the land β€” if it means they can cut off food for hungry people.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent Sean Dunn faced a single misdemeanor after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

What an irresponsible waste of time, money, and available court time. Pam Bondi is yet one more incompetent hack is the Trump regime.
