The coastline often draws me near, as this world’s beauty frequently helps my soul feel the purest energies of our world.

Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them.
And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal.
