The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.
"Trump claims he’s making America stronger; he insists no one can defy him. But here are people defying him, and they seem better off for it, not worse. It makes him look weak — and people are a lot more comfortable defying a president who seems weak than one who seems strong."

He's in Michigan. Another rally. It's the same as every one of his campaign rallies. Just a bunch of insults. Personal attacks. Lies. Gaslighting. Anger. Insecurity. All the old hits. And the crowd is loving it. It was NEVER about the eggs...
