I am so happy Rachel Maddow's show is the most-watched,

because she's reaming the gop on that healthcare bill and galvanizing a whole lot of people.

And the handicapped people who protested today and in the past...



And since I'm still up, Lawrence O'Donnell on dt's lies is great.

We have these folks, and Chris Hayes, Joy Reid, even Matthews.

We rock! Keep speaking truth!

if you ignore people long enough you'll wind up having to arrest them for not wanting to be warehoused, not wanting to die. Here's hoping that segment replays and replays and replays. I cried when I watched that mess this morning, cried again as Rachel presented it. Mitch must be so fucking proud!

20. She showed the country how huge Medicaid is

It insures 49% of births, 76% of children born in poverty, a huge percentage (I forget the exact number) of the disabled. Cutting it by 800 billion plus will be devastating. Republicans HAVE to know that, and they're still trying to do it.

Kudos to the disabled people who protested in front of McConnell's office. That's the kind of courage Congressional Republicans can't understand, because they have nothing like it.

Rachel is on the mark ....SEVENTY MILLION people without health care.....what in the hell is wrong with republicans. How do they sleep at night, how do they look at themselves in the mirror? May anyone who votes to pass this bill, burn in hell!

And the nutty tax conservatives don't care about anybody but their ideology.

Roll back government and massive tax cuts for the job creators like Donald Trump

You can watch Rachel, Chris, Lawrence on youtube after the airing time. Sometimes fragmented, but persevere and they can be watched.

Rachel is the best journalist of today and probably of my lifetime. She is intelligent and honest.

That allowed disabled people like myself to work for 10 or 15 years,

whereas I could not do so if my MS start 5 years before.

This allowed me to get in a better position in life to retire. Huge deal

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE REFER TO THE HEALTH CARE BILL AS THE REPUBLICAN HEALTH CARE BILL (RHCB).

Nail this bill to the hide of every Republican!
