If Republicans don't extend ACA subsidies, people are going to die. Now, they’re trying to tie Americans' health care to abortion restrictions that kill women.

It’s absolutely a non-starter. We won’t allow Republicans to use the lives of women as the political cost of extension.

The cruel irony of Republicans voting down ACA subsidies is that it will end up hurting Trump voters the most.

57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

They're selling out their own voters.

Immigrants were questioned about their country of origin and turned away while waiting in line for their citizenship ceremonies.

It sounds like a work of dystopian fiction. But it's not. This is exactly what happened at Faneuil Hall last week.

Unacceptable. Naturalize them now.

President Trump is pardoning a convicted Honduran drug lord who openly boasted that he would "stuff the drugs right up the noses of the gringos," and push drugs into America.

This is the most pro-crime, pro-corruption administration in our country's history.

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy.

Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality.

John Roberts > Roger Taney.

Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.
