Now that we have defeated Trumpcare, it is time to protect Obamacare from Trump. Trump is actively threatening to sabotage Obamacare by cutting off funds to the exchanges that help insurers protect poor people. We need to call Bob Latta and Rob Portman, and tell them to keep their commitment to driving down premiums by […]
48 hours. That is all we have until Mitch McConnell and the other Senate Republicans vote on Obamacare. We know McConnell is wheeling and dealing behind the scenes to make moderate Republicans waver in their commitment to opposing the bill. Let’s make Portman hear our voices loud and clear. Call Rob Portman. Demand that he […]
Thursday, July 20th That didn’t take long. Trumpcare is back, and it is time to drive the stake through its heart. McConnell held a meeting tonight and is desperately trying to cobble together the votes to pass Trumpcare. He may be trying to bribe “moderates” like Portman with funding for opioids. We can’t let Portman […]
We have had a partial victory. Mitch McConnell has delayed the vote for Trumpcare again. The reason? Senator John McCain is having a blood clot removed from above his eye, and McConnell cannot lose even a single vote. Yes, your activism has made the voting margin so razor-thin that the bill will fail if only […]
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 […]
