Republicans are quietly rolling back Obamacare. Here’s how | CNN Politics President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are no longer promising to repeal Obamacare, but that doesn’t mean they have given up efforts to take down the landmark health reform law.

Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them. It’s up to all of us to vote for leaders in every election who will make our healthcare system better, not undermine it. Call your member of Congress and hold them accountable.

Truth!

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

Ugh, this hurts my heart

He’s ended public broadcasting, fired the jobs numbers person, banished news orgs from press conferences, silenced Colbert, and put a CBS censor in their newsroom. When somebody says he wants “my people” to “sit up at attention” the way North Koreans do for Kim Jong Un, believe him.

Can we please stop using the word “commit”?

Outside courthouses across America, complicit judges are dropping years-long immigration cases to aid ICE abductions in their hallways.

There was a time, not long ago, when we asked immigrants to follow the laws of our land. In Trump's America, we're arresting the rule-followers.

Don't look away!
