Alas, poor Portman. He is the senator who just can’t decide. First he was against Trumpcare because it cut Medicaid in Ohio. Now, when presented with a new version of Trumpcare that cuts Medicaid just as much as the previous version, Portman cannot decide. He says he “will review” the text of the new bill […]
Do you watch movies on Netflix? Do you play video games on Steam? Or even like to watch stupid cat videos on YouTube? The Trump administration is actively trying to make that harder for you. People who use the Internet are currently protected by the “net neutrality” guidelines established by the Obama administration. Net neutrality […]
Wednesday, July 12th: We had a partial victory today. Mitch McConnell is delaying the August recess by two weeks in order that the Senate can deliberate on healthcare. Like everyone, senators love vacations, and cutting the August recess tells us how desperate he is. But this announcement also shows that Trumpcare is very much alive. […]
Tuesday, July 11th It’s looking more and more like Trump committed treason. The bombshell report by the New York Times tonight showed that Donald Trump Jr. received an email informing him that the Russians were trying to help his father’s campaign by giving him sensitive information about Hillary Clinton…and he went to the meeting anyway. […]
Monday, July 10th: Donald Trump just gave Putin everything he wanted. Trump did not punish Russia for meddling in our election during his meeting with Putin. He, in effect, declared that he will let bygones be bygones. And Trump did not bring up Russia’s horrendous record with freedom of the press. Trump instead was caught joking […]
It’s quiet. Too quiet. Unfortunately, the quiet suits Mitch McConnell well. As we have seen with the House Obamacare repeal bill, it is in the quiet that the deals get made that will let a deeply unpopular bill pass. It’s time to break this quiet, and make sure Rob Portman and the other senators hear […]
Welcome back! I hope you had a relaxing and wonderful Fourth of July weekend! If you got out there and marched or protested, we salute you! We are facing many of the same problems that we did before the holiday. First, Trumpcare is not dead. Mitch McConnell has submitted two different versions of the health […]
You have been doing a lot of calling to Rob Portman. Good. Keep it up. But did you know that Obamacare and Medicaid are under attack at the state level as well? Ohio Republicans are trying to freeze the Medicaid expansion in Ohio, stopping new enrollees from signing up and adding additional restrictions. Not only […]
First off, congratulations. You did it. You helped to stop Trumpcare. You even got Portman to go on record opposing Trumpcare. If you called Portman, went to Portman’s office, or joined in a protest, you helped stop this bill. But…it’s not over. We have already seen how a “dead” bill can be resurrected in the […]
Monday, June 26th: One moderate Republican in a swing state with a Republican governor has stood up to Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. He has pointed out that Trumpcare does nothing to actually reduce premiums. He noted, rightly, that it takes away health insurance from 10 million Americans. This senator was not Rob Portman. It […]
