1. So contact your senators

and occupy their offices. It's not over until the bill is signed.

9. $enator Pat Toomey doesn't pick up the phone for less than $60,000

He knows who his constituents are, and they sure as hell aren't the residents of PA.

2. Really, they have the votes in the senate? Hard to believe.

I think they are talking out their ass.

3. i agree....

4. I wonder how much money Koch has promised them

to force this shit through, before the indictments come and their party is gutted. They are acting desperate.

5. Has the proposed legislation been published

and when will the think tanks evaluate impact? Apparently CBO is being cut out of the process.

Nice way to run a railroad.

6. well, they wouldn't want any bad news about their bad bill

8. Is this one of the same outlets that told us when Comey sent the letter to the republicans in

congress that "the email investigation had been reopened"?

So are we to be led to believe that if the White House tells us something, it's true?

[spanone]

10. no, i'd say if the white house tells us something, it's probably a lie.

11. Yup, here is the WSJ headline

"Trump Pushes for Vote on Health Bill, but Hurdles Remain
The White House and top congressional Republicans are trying to build momentum for a health-care vote this week, but skepticism among centrist members of the party remains a stumbling block."

12. Relax - it's Gary Cohn saying they THINK they do (have the votes)...

Like "thinking" the Mets and Yankees will be in the World Series this year...
