    If the GOP wins Congress, we'll have a sequel to Groundhog Day. Instead of a TV weatherman discovering the meaning of life, a senator from Kentucky will take your health coverage... I would rather see the one about how Democrats are fighting .

    Remember when Republicans promised their - the trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthy - would "pay for itself"? Well, it isn't. And now they want to gut Medicare, Social Security & Medicaid to make up for it. Despicable. Democrats are & will fight this!

    It’s not hard to read between the lines: Saudi Arabia has spent millions on Trump businesses, which has lined 's pockets and bought his complicity. To find the truth, there must be an independent investigation, and those responsible should be sanctioned.

    I’m deeply concerned by reports that Saudi Arabia assassinated Jamal Khashoggi. The United States must be a moral voice for human rights, yet this administration has abdicated that responsibility.
