AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.

The people eyeing Durbin's Senate seat should stop waiting, get off the sidelines and start running. After his CR vote, I'm ready to vote for anyone challenging Durbin from the left, anyone willing to *actually* fight Trump--not just talk a big game but fold when there's an actual fight to be had.
