We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

This fake-Christian twerp is such a shameless liar.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Seems it just does not matter what he "says" or claims. All can change on a dime at any time. He's but a front for his base to consume while the Heritage Foundation ruins gov't and the tech bros/billionaires drain the treasury. Miserable POS con man, conning them all. Perilous times indeed.
