Pelosi extends proxy voting so Dems can party, campaign, and call in their votes

Units to lose Confederate battle streamers
Another recommendation from the Naming Commission to warm the cockles of your heart: battle streamers for units who fought on the Confederate side of the War Between the States should be removed.

Republicans block price caps on insulin
OK, I got lazy…I liked the look of the chart. Note that this is a FOUR YEAR OLD IMAGE and the current cost is more like $300 a dose. It’s not like it is new and expensive to make – a vial costs less than $10 to make according to virtually every source I could […]
