CNN: β€œAn older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 β€” 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

"Putin couldn't do a better job" of attacking America.

How do we know this isn't Putin's doing?

Top prosecutor is rejecting Trump pressure to charge New York AG A key federal prosecutor in Virginia, where James Comey was indicted, is resisting bringing charges against Letitia James.

What are the odds Halligan asks a grand jury to indict James anyway?

I mean, she wasn’t appointed because she’s a professional, experienced prosecutor.

She was appointed because she’s a Trump stooge.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

Deleting something off a website doesn’t change the law.

These people are the worst.

You want to fix the ACA? Easy.

Strip Congress of their diamond public health plans and pay them the median American income: $41,400 a year.

No insider trading, no perks, and dock every vacation day after seven.

Watch how fast they fix healthcare then.

The republicans in Congress are just as responsible for this crap as TACO.

Congress is the immediate check on the President, and the republicans refuse to do anything. Refuse to draw any line whatsoever.

Vote them out. All of them.

I can’t imagine. Just because TACO wants it doesn’t mean he’s done anything to earn it. A wonderful example of the phrase β€œsaying so doesn’t make it so.”

US Supreme Court rejects Ghislaine Maxwell appeal The British socialite is serving a 20-year prison sentence on sex -trafficking charges related to former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein.

This normally would have been a no-brainer, but with this Court?

I wonder if TACO will actually pardon her or commute her sentence.

Before he died, my cat Rocky was on expensive prescription food I would buy from Chewy.

This morning, I contacted them about returning the $$$ food. They immediately gave me a refund (without a return) and asked me to donate the food.

Really kind of them and good for folks to know.

Bonus pic.

Look, what Jones said in 3 yr old text message was stupid and offensive.

But I don’t buy the pearl clutching of folks who create holiday cards showing their entire family (children too) wielding guns, including hi power assault rifles, and proudly wear assault rifle pins.

Still voting for Jones.
