ICYMI as I did, Mitch is offering "full repeal" as the first in order amendment for BRCA, so his colleagues now have to trust that he's telling the truth and that the amendment will pass.

here are the steps:

1. vote of MTP to debate on BRCA (this is the thing Moran and Lee just said they're against)
2. if that passes, vote on the repeal and delay amendment
3. OTHER AMENDMENTS FUN TIME WHETHER 2 PASSES OR NOT WHERE ALL GERMANE AMENDMENTS ARE IN ORDER BECAUSE IT IS A BUDGET BILL
4. vote on final passage lololololol

twitter thinks the likelihood of passing the repeal bill is less than what I think, but my predictions have been 100% correct, so this is an interesting situation 🤔

Why did you take the amnesty? New accounts are a blessing.

There are a few states and a few counties in particular that are in bad shape. Overall it's stable.

It's fine in blue states. In red states where they refused to expand Medicare there are issues. So basically they're intentionally sabotaging it

They don't care. Their base doesn't believe in anything, and align with actual nazis and ask poo poo like "were they really even that bad?.

Isn't (1) the MTP on the House's bill, the AHCA? (Not that that helps, but it means senators will need to come out against it explicitly again.)

What is the problem is the fact that the republican party donor class is at massive cross purposes with its voters.
