When you get a chance, listen to, or read the transcript of the 'made in america week' kick off by pence. It is truly slimy. Applause line, after applause lie, after applause lie... Just mind boggling.

Trump HJ's the Trump lie about signing more legislation then any president ever. Tump takes the stage and sucks up his greatness, patting himself on the back about his accomplishment, then tells you what his greatness is... signing a proclamation naming this week 'Made in America week', and today 'Made in America day'. That's two more pieces of important legislation for YOU!

Farmers getting a big shout out.

So Mike Lee & Jerry Moran ruined the suspense. They're out on the tax cut - er, "ACA repeal" - bill


let the impeachment proceedings begin

they should just draft a bill officially renaming the ACA to "Trumpcare" and everybody will be happy.

Ari Melber's got Roger Marshall (R-KS) on when the Mike Lee/Moran news breaks, relays it to Marshall, who is 110% FOR ACA repeal, though he has clue zero about it, even though he's, y'know, a DOCTOR.

Melber tries SEVERAL times to get through to Congressman Dumbass that Lee & Moran just killed ACA repeal while they're talking, without success. Closing the interview, Marshall gives a lame shoutout to Kansas, saying he hopes his constituents are watching. Melber, grinning from ear to ear, adds enthusiastically (something to the effect of), "I sure hope your constituents are watching, too, Congressman"

Feels like Lee's "I'm out" message is interesting, given all the shit he's probably privy to re: national intel stuff

trump gonna blame everybody tomorrow although he hasn't done one thing himself to help sell the bill

He gave them simple parameters: No one will lose coverage. There will be insurance for everybody. Healthcare will be a lot less expensive for everyone — the government, consumers, providers.

Not really his fault if they couldn't follow through.

Go to day of action tomorrow if you all can.

We need to keep the pressure up and get them to pile on. This needs to die.

It isn't harsh enough for him

yeah, but he's known that for days.

Lee's got an inside line on national security intel stuff. Wonder if a little birdie tipped him to any new anything.....

Costa saying lots of Rs did not want this to pass. Cringed when they saw Ds salivating over 2018 if it did. Would rather go forward still blaming Ds and doing the fake news thing.

drumpf's imbecilic tweet response to the tax cut collapse news confirms: he's an imbecile

here's a youtube clip of Melber guest hosting Chris Hayes's show tonight, during which he interviewed rightwing Kansas congressman & MD Roger Marshall on Trumpcare 2.0. The parts you want to see begin at:

27:05: Melber begins his interview with Roger Marshall, R-KS

28:08 Melber invites Marshall to explain how the Senate's tax cut - er, ACA repeal - bill would help fix Medicaid; Marshall responds with bullet points about how Medicaid is the scourge of Satan.

28:38 Melber gets word that Lee & Moran are out on Trumpcare 2.0, & interrupts Marshall's screed to share the news with him, "sure" that Marshall will grasp the significance of the Lee/Moran news to their conversation. Marshall does not. At all. Not even a little bit. Not even with help.

33:38: Wrapping up, Marshall begins his shoutout to his "friends" in Kansas. Note Melber's gleeful assurance that he, too, hopes they were watching back home

Mitch basically going with Sasse's repeal/delay, apparently counting on thorough disruption of Medicaid, and individual health coverage markets, for TWO YEARS, spanning congresspersons' 2018 re-election campaigns, to be no big deal

Republicans, essentially, are clueless about governing

Holy shit. What is this fucker doing?

Is he trying to kill it off?

Does straight repeal need 60?

And Trump picked up his pompoms to cheers a repeal and fail plan, again, which seems like the plan, but it will be delayed 2 years to skip the 2018 midterms. Just hoping the same dummy's the voted Trump in buy the plan that they have a plan before they lose their insurance.

Oh, Trump figures the Dems will show up to play after repeal! Tough chance bonehead.
