He's very angry about WaPo exposing the fact that he has FAKE NEWS Time magazine covers at at least 5 of his properties yesterday, and now Time has asked him to remove these photoshopped covers.

DC is super expensive and paying Rep's more would help attract candidates who aren't already wealthy or looking to quickly turn into lobbyists to become wealthy, at least theoretically. It's still really bad political optics, but I'm not sure how much that matters these days.

A lot of horrible crap has been normalized over the last six months, but the President regularly threatening media organizations is pretty messed up.

Just 17 Percent Of Americans Approve Of Republican Senate Health Care Bill

In a phone town hall tonight, Heller is bragging about NV's Medicaid expansion and how the state went from 49th or 50th in uninsured to 24th. I'm thinking he's extremely pissed about being attacked by the leader of his own party.

Exclusive: Trump administration eyes hardening line toward Pakistan This comes a day after meeting with the Indian PM, which of course it does because Trump is the most easily manipulated leader in the world.

pretty skeptical of all of these "no's" coming out after the vote was delayed, and we saw something similar happen in the House. But still, this is much, much better than 50 yes's for now.

In reference to trump running ads against Nevada Republican Senator Heller Jim Acosta ✔ @Acosta One key GOP source close to Senate process says decision to run ads against Heller is alienating Republican senators: "You cannot do that." 1:16 PM - 27 Jun 2017 Jonathan Martin ✔ @jmartNYT News: McConnell called Reince last Saturday, told him attacks on Heller are "beyond stupid"

Millions less covered, worse coverage, higher premiums. But millionaires and billionaires get a hefty tax cut, so really it all balances out in the end.

Trump lawyer's firm steered millions in donations to family members, files show

All of this scoring is without the "can't buy insurance for a 6 month window if you have a pre-existing condition" provision they're considering adding, which will only up the annual death, suffering and bankruptcy toll.

The GOP plan for Obamacare could kill more people each year than gun homicides If 22 million people lose insurance, we'll see more than 24,000 extra deaths per year. We get the equivalent of eight 9/11's worth of deaths every year to fund tax cuts for millionaires.

For low-income people, premiums will go up while coverage goes down

this is how it gets to 50 votes: the party that whined so much about the "cornhusker kickback" that there were complaints about it in a SCOTUS dissent despite it not actually being in the final bill is going to openly buy off the last couple of votes they need in order to blow up 1/6 of our economy for wealthy tax cuts.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 03:37 PM) When are they planning on voting for this? Later this week, though it's unclear. There's still plenty of time for all of the "unsure" Republicans to add some token amendment, make the bill negligibly less horrendous, and then vote yes.

2018: 15 million more would be uninsured than under Obamacare 2020: 19 million more 2026: 22 million more I'm not sure why they didn't figure out a way to change the rules enough such that lots of people would be covered by Fun Bux Insuranze that was completely useless but didn't result in "20+ Million Americans to lose health insurance" but here we are

15 million more people uninsured next year

CBO score's in. 22 million additional Americans uninsured under BRCA (Senate health care bill).
