Elise Stefanik is scrubbing photos of herself accepting awards from the vile Young Republicans caught in the Politico group chat. She supported every single one of them in New York State.

Boom! Who’s winning the shutdown debate? THE ACA.

More Republicans than Democrats use the ACA marketplace. So the GOP’s base is relying on the same program their party is causing premiums to skyrocket.

45% of ACA marketplace enrollees are Republicans, and most live in GOP-held districts.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Trump WH says its prepared to “ride out” the shut down. That translates to: This was planned. It was never meant to be short…and…oh yeah…we are going to f**k things up even worse during this period of time.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but I wouldn't get too excited about a House Judiciary hearing with Jack Smith. If Mueller and Garland serve as examples, these guys tend to say very little beyond "no comment."
