Taxes & healthcare repeal putting vulnerable House Republicans in Jeopardy
Yesterday, two vulnerable House Republicans faced an embarrassing backlash to their historically unpopular agenda on healthcare and taxes.
YACHTZEEE…
Congressman Vern Buchanan, one of the wealthiest Members of Congress, appears to have wasted no time spending the tax cut he gave himself on a yacht…buying it on THE SAME DAY THAT HE VOTED TO PASS THE TAX SCAM. The boat cost Buchanan millions last November, but the largest cost could very well be at the ballot box this November.

JEOPARDY!
Yesterday, when Rep. Mike Bost tried to congratulate Jeopardy! winner and IL-12 resident Laura Kiehna, Bost learned that life comes at you fast. Unlike Lauren, it’s clear that Mike Bost will be the loser in November.
Mike, both my Jeopardy! dream and my writing career were made possible by my ACA insurance plan. Remember when you voted to take affordable healthcare options away from constituents like me last summer? I do. That's why I'll be voting for @Kelly4SouthrnIL in November. https://t.co/qWnK8jieDt
