Why would anything come of it? Half a dozens of his Team had contact with the Russians including Jeff Sessions who also lied about it under oath.

Do you think people will be like. "Ok, 6 Russian spies is fine with me but 7 is to much, **** Trump!"

That's socialism. The republican plan would be to make sure first aid kits are AVAILABLE on the open market

They want to pass it before their constituents figure out what is in it and start complaining more.

The plan, I think, is to pass it out of the House and switch the "bad guys" from House GOPers to Senate Democrats

A curious strategy, because they still will have their names on a yes vote for a massively unpopular piece of legislation about which people will eventually learn.

Doesn't matter, they'll blame someone else for all the bad parts and they'll get away with it as they always do.

Or it fails and nobody remembers this by 2018 anyway.

That + I believe today is the 7th anniversary of the passage of ACA and they want to pass a much worse bill specifically on this historic day because history.

Also there's another recess on April 12, which means town halls. Those are going to be intense.

As of this morning I believe the vote wasn't listed on the schedule yet. So probably late tonight if it happens today.

great news. i called both of my senators today (both dems) and told them to vote no/filibuster and require the GOP to go nuclear and that if the reporting about a possible deal between dems/mcconnell was true, how disappointing it was to hear that and if they should have learned a single thing over the last several decades it's that republicans are not as principled as they'd like people to believe and this would result in ANOTHER case of that.
