1. Finally, we start to fight back. I'm guessing that beautiful health care scheme the GOP's been working on since 2016 ...

... isn't even half baked yet.

[SergeStorms]

10. It takes time to craft the perfect plan......

especially since it's the very last thing on the GOP's agenda. When new fascist items are brought forward it slides further back.
If it was easy, or profitable, every republican would be doing it, you can bet on that!

[QueerDuck]

11. Stop. Just because the public can't see everything...

that's going on does not mean that NOTHING is going on. 🙄😡

[marble falls]

17. OH? You know something? You think the GOP healthcare plan is coming? I don't even think it's breathing hard.

19. Kinda What I Just Said.. TY Queer Duck...

So Over This.

15. As I have said

more than once in the past, the GOP has been "working on" a health care scheme since they torpedoed the one Hillary Clinton offered in 1994... or was it 1993? We were told by Newt Gingrich and his merry band of liars in the House that, if the American people would just elect a GOP majority in the House, the GOP would offer a much superior plan than the Clinton plan. Well, the American people did just that and now we can live under that superior plan... which as near as I can tell is, and was, "Don't get sick, and if you do, die quickly."

18. Dems Have Been Fighting Back.. We Don't

See Everything that's Happening.

👀👀 17 House R's defecting from Trump is the clearest sign that Republicans are FREAKING OUT headed into the midterms.

If folks like Derrick Van Orden (Trump +7), Nick LaLota (Trump +10), and Dave Joyce (Trump +18) are voting like this -- then you know the blue wave is coming.

5. Wait?

I thought Jeffries wasn’t doing his job? At least that’s what a Green Party voter told me. 😉

[Buddyzbuddy]

6. Good job, leader Jeffries.

Let's see what the Senate does.

[mcar]

9. Thank you leader Jeffries!

[Tree Lady]

12. Can Trump veto it? Nt

[peppertree]

16. Needy Amin will veto this faster than he would a 19 year-old girl brought to him for his "use"

"Goddammit - if I told you once I told you 1000 times: nothing older than 15!!"

(I can only hope I'm wrong)

13. Thank you, Jeffries and Democrats!

(Reminder to leadership bashers: this is the actual job, government legislation, not national celebrity-activist-superhero-pseudo revolutionary. There must be many activists around the country doing great work -- please tell us about them!)

14. K&R!
