Too many folks would rather burn it all down than elect a Black woman to lead this country. And until we have a reckoning with the fact that we are still a deeply racist and sexist nation, we will not get it right. Too many are in deep denial.

MIKE JOHNSON: We are not cutting Medicaid in this package. TAPPER: 1.4m people in Louisiana are on Medicaid. Is it your contention that if any of them lose benefits, it's bc they shouldn't have been receiving them? J: Yeah. Every district in America has people who are on the program who shouldn't.

GOP snuck in a provision that gets rid of the manufacturer’s tax on gun silencers.The bill also eliminates silencers from the National Firearms Act which means gun owners are no longer required to be vetted nor do they have to register them. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory newrepublic.com/post/195611/...

Many retailers have issued warnings that they won’t, as Trump has suggested, “eat” the additional costs caused by those import taxes. That means anything from groceries and clothing to toys and cars could cost Americans more. cnn.it/3ShEE1R

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Me: “That members of this administration, including the President, routinely say, “I DON”T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE DECISIONS THAT MY AGENCY/GOVERNMENT ARE MAKING” and apparently think that is a reasonable excuse or think we will not know that it isn’t, should horrify every single American citizen.”

Get ready mom and dad, grandma and grandpa. “CBO late Tuesday said the legislation will increase the debt by $2.3 trillion over 10 years. That will trigger as much as $500 billion in Medicare cuts starting as soon as 2026.” I guess allowing yourself to age is fraud and abuse too.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Very sad news about Gerry Connolly. Known Gerry since I was a 20 something reporter covering Fairfax County for the WashPost and he was elected for the first time to the County Board of Supervisors. He did always care about good government. A true public servant. Fewer and fewer of them nowadays.

I wonder when we will realize that Trump doesn’t care about anything except getting richer? He doesn’t care about his base, he doesn’t care about GOP representatives, he doesn’t care about the American people as a whole. He cares about billionaires getting more billions.
