Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

In after Baud. Damn.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

I really should read my own blog.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

This blog will pay for itself.

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.

    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.
