If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Reporter: Dr Oz said that—

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

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.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

COLLINS: When Trump says grocery prices are down, what numbers is he basing that off given it's not true?

HASSETT: Inflation is down

C: But grocery prices are up

H: Not everything. Egg prices are down. Why haven't you covered egg prices?

C: We certainly have. But grocery prices are up about 1.4%

Okay, they got the Democrats to cave and end the shutdown and not 24 hours later Johnson says he’s not promising anything! Go figure a Republican going back on a promise! No honor whatsoever.

Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?

Fox gives Trump a platform during their NFL broadcast to peddle his absurd lies about "prices are coming way down", "we inherited a mess," and "our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it." Absolutely shameful for all involved.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

He loved woodworking, hiking, antiquing, and nature photography.
He appreciated the value of learning other languages and understanding other cultures.

32 people, including Christopher, were lost at Virginia Tech.

If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make a staggering $431.80 per HOUR (including benefits).
Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average.
The system is rigged.
