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 […]
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 […]
One quick note: Ossoff’s loss is devastating, but we must remember that his victory was always a long shot. As the party out of power, we are going to lose a lot. We need to learn to take our defeat gracefully, and wake up the next day and call our representatives. Here is what we […]
There is some hope at the end of the tunnel. Chuck Schumer told Rachel Maddow that Republicans are having trouble getting to 50 votes because they are ashamed of their health care bill. They know deep down that their bill, which will take away health care from the and give a tax cut to the […]
Tuesday, June 13th: Exclusive: I have obtained a public schedule of the hearings for Trumpcare. Here it is: Got that?* The Republicans are planning on only releasing the details of their health care plan a few days before the vote, in […]
Federal: Let’s talk about frogs. Yes, really, frogs. Pretend that the frog represents “health care.” Everybody loves the frog, but the Republicans want to get rid of the frog. Instead of killing the frog outright they slowly raise the temperature of the water until it’s too late and the frog is boiling. The frog still […]
Bad news: Mitch McConnell is feeling optimistic about repealing Obamacare. The Republicans are likely going to rush Trumpcare through the Senate, with zero public hearings, zero input, and with the language of the bill secret. And even worse, rumor has it that the final bill will look a lot like the monstrous House bill. It […]
Our own Senator Portman has sponsored what is called “the worst bill you’ve never heard of.” This bill is called the RAA (The Regulatory Accountability Act). It threatens to engulf and paralyze the bureaucracy and agencies that protect our water, our air, our food, our transportation, and pretty much every other aspect of our lives. […]
Federal: Our calls are working. The Republican senator Richard Burr has said that he does not see “comprehensive” health care reform happening this year. But we can’t stop now; we have already seen how Trumpcare was revived from the dead in the House. There is no reason that it can’t happen again. It is important […]
