In case you missed it, after an exclusive speech in downtown Chicago yesterday, Congressman Peter Roskam dodged both constituents’ concerns and reporter questions. Roskam has faced widespread backlash for refusing to hold an in-person town hall to discuss the Affordable Care Act, President Trump’s ties to Russia, and many other important issues. Roskam is one […]

“House Republicans have reached a new low in their blind pursuit of ACA repeal. After seven years of finger pointing and grandstanding, they’ve revealed half-baked legislation – negotiated behind closed doors – that rips healthcare away from hardworking families, breaks the promises they’ve already made, and is larded with special interest giveaways,” said DCCC Spokesman […]

Republicans are stuck without a real replacement plan after seven years of finger pointing Seven years, no replacement plan – a situation that is utterly humiliating for House Republicans.

It’s hard to imagine a more deflating week for House Republicans.
