Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Bark louder, little dog.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

We still have time to mess this up!

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Actually two pieces of good news:

First, the uninsured rate by age and year:

We’re seeing gains through the end of 2016. Early data on 2017 shows no improvement but so far no losses in coverage.

And then in the Senate, some more good news. It looks like CHIP will be re-authorized.

CHIP reauthorization needs 60 votes in the Senate, so I trust that the deal will be decent. The one major change that I know of is that the ACA bumped the federal share of CHIP funding by 23 points. The new deal will keep that bump for two years and slowly draw that down over the long term.

    @Amir Khalid:
    As the insightful Blue Gal said, when kids see there mom cry over their children’s healthcare coverage, they’ll never forget it and never vote for a republican. Ever.

    How is that Senate deal going to pass the House? Those morons wouldn’t know good legislation if it slapped them in the face.
