The bipartisan rejection of Donald Trump’s policies continues at a record pace, with the National Governors Association (NGA) releasing a statement condemning his latest attempts to sabotage the health care markets. The Trump White House recently said that they will end cost sharing payments to insurers, an unnecessarily cruel move that will do no good and only cause harm […]

On Thursday, Donald Trump took his biggest step yet to sabotage health care for the American people by ending Obamacare’s cost sharing payments to insurers. The move will cause chaos in insurance markets, raise premiums by 25 percent, and add almost $200 billion to the deficit — for no other reason than jealous spite for […]

The GOP plan to repeal Obamacare failed dozens of times before Donald Trump took office, and it has not fared any better with him in power. So instead, Trump has openly admitted that he is going to dismantle it “piece by piece” until it is destroyed — or until Democrats cave to his demands and […]

Donald Trump has just made it harder for cancer patients to receive the treatment they need, and his White House says the practice will continue until Democrats give in to his destructive demands. Trump is withholding the cost-sharing reduction payments made to insurers that cover millions of people seeking care across the country. The decision […]

Enraged that the American people rose up and stopped the repeated GOP plots to destroy Obamacare in Congress, Donald Trump has taken matters into his own hands, dismantling every part of the law he can out of sheer spite. And on Thursday evening, Trump announced his most drastic act of sabotage yet: after months of […]

Minutes after Donald Trump signed an executive order designed to hurt Americans and their health care, his party made a huge mistake and admitted that Obamacare has been an amazing success. Seeking to reinforce Trump, Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released a statement noting, “Trump continues to make good on his promise to the […]

Donald Trump vowed to repeal Obamacare on day one, if not sooner. Instead, his attempts to do anything with health care have failed — not once, not twice, but three times. So instead of working to make health care better, Trump is working to destroy the health care law that has made life better for […]

Donald Trump has utterly failed to deliver on his threat to repeal Obamacare and harm the millions of men and women who have health care because of it. So he’s going to punish women directly instead. On Friday, his administration announced that he is rolling back the critical provision that covers birth control — a […]

Donald Trump was rejected at the ballot box by a strong majority of American women in the 2016 presidential election. Almost all of them were repulsed by the “Access Hollywood” tape of him bragging that he would “grab them by the pussy” because “when you’re a star, they let you do it.” One year later, […]

Republicans in Congress have tried again and again to repeal health care for sick kids. Every time, public protest thwarted them. House Speaker Paul Ryan’s American Health Care Act was defeated. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Better Care Reconciliation Act was defeated. “Skinny repeal” was defeated. The Graham-Cassidy bill was defeated. But even after all of […]

As Americans struggle to make sense of the horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas, GOP lawmakers have been hiding from any discussion of guns. When they get the chance, Republicans try to steer the debate anywhere else. One of their longtime favorite deflections is to say that gun violence is simply a matter of fixing “mental […]

When conservatives talk about being “pro-life,” one has to wonder just what lives they mean. They don’t mean the 9 million kids covered by the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which Republicans in Congress just allowed to expire because they were too busy focusing on their failing Obamacare repeal plan and their tax scam giveaway to […]

Note to pop culture players: Standing up to Donald Trump is good for business. Joining the NFL, which racked up a big TV ratings weekend after Trump picked a free-speech fight with the league, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel kicked off the official start of the fall television season Monday night by grabbing the biggest audience […]

Welcome to a new daily series at Shareblue Media, providing you with links to important news, interesting stories, useful information about actions of resistance — and a picture of President Barack Obama to keep you motivated. Remember when Republicans in Congress were trying to kill Obamacare again? Well, they failed. Again. Millions of Americans are […]

Time after time, Republicans in Congress have spitefully tried to take away health care from millions of the most vulnerable and sick, and time and time again, they have been smacked down by the American people. Now, the latest attempt, the Graham-Cassidy bill, has officially died without a vote. Sen Roberts leaves GOP luncheon saying […]

Republicans’ prospects of passing their universally loathed health care bill are cratering, and at a CNN policy forum, one of its chief authors, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, did nothing to improve the bill’s outlook. Joined by co-author Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and independent Sen. Bernie Sanders […]

So this is why Republicans feared having public debate about their never-ending attempt to repeal Obamacare and eliminate health care coverage for millions of Americans. They were afraid to face the wrath of a furious and frightened public. Monday, moments after Utah Republican Sen. Orin Hatch gaveled the Senate’s only hearing for the Graham-Cassidy bill, […]

As Republicans limp toward Wednesday’s Senate finish line in their never-ending quest to repeal Obamacare, they’re backing a bill that almost nobody wants or likes. The health care provider industry and the insurance industry have both resoundingly opposed the Graham-Cassidy bill, which would affect one-sixth of the U.S. economy. And the public rejects the bill, as well — […]

Senate Republicans are still not quite at the required 50 votes to pass their disastrous, massively unpopular Graham-Cassidy Obamacare repeal bill. But rather than try to find broad compromise or consensus, GOP leadership is instead making narrow tweaks to the bill that make it even harsher, to specifically target the votes of hard-right male senators […]

From the outset, the latest Republican health care repeal bill was the worst of all the Obamacare repeal proposals introduced this year in the Senate. The so-called Graham-Cassidy bill is now less popular than Vladimir Putin, with only 20 percent support from voters and all major doctor, patient, and insurer groups opposed. Less than half of […]

White House legislative affairs director Marc Short embarrassed himself Sunday morning when he got called out for lying about the GOP’s latest attempt to repeal and — supposedly — replace Obamacare. The Graham-Cassidy bill has been denounced by nearly every major health organization in the country. And chief among the criticisms of the legislation is […]

Just as the Trump administration sent Mike Pence out to stump for the Graham-Cassidy health care bill, Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain announced his decision to oppose the plan, leading to more humiliation for a feckless Pence and potentially killing the legislation. While Donald Trump simply tweeted about the bill, Pence was positioned — as […]

Republicans are absolutely lying when they say the proposed Graham-Cassidy health care repeal bill doesn’t undo Obamacare’s protections for those with pre-existing conditions. The lie is so obvious that it only took about 30 seconds for a reporter to prove it. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel has been exposing this cruel provision in the legislation that Republicans […]

In the largest show of Congressional force to date surrounding the GOP’s latest zombie-like attempt to repeal Obamacare, 58 Democratic members of the House are urging Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to hold off on any Senate action until the proposed bill can be properly analyzed and debated. Specifically, they are demanding that the bipartisan […]

Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake has not read the GOP health care bill in its entirety, but one thing he knows is that some people — including some of his own constituents — will be worse off than they are now if the Graham-Cassidy bill is enacted. So of course, he’s eager to support it. […]

The Graham-Cassidy Obamacare repeal bill is still just shy of the 50 votes it needs to pass the Senate, and Republicans are getting desperate as the September 30 deadline gets nearer. One of their main targets is Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who has solidly voted against previous GOP repeal bills, but who has publicly […]

Republicans can’t have it both ways. As they try yet again to rush through a repeal of Obamacare, they are simultaneously refusing to allow public debate on the bill, while also complaining that critics of the bill don’t understand what’s in it. The hypocrisy ought to be obvious. Yet that’s exactly the kind of mendacity […]

The Graham-Cassidy health care bill Republicans are trying to ram through the Senate at the last minute is so horrible that everyone from insurance companies, to doctor and patient groups, to state public health officials, to Republican governors, to late-night comedians, have come out against it. The bill would cut health care for roughly 32 […]

GOP Sen. John McCain of Arizona has long been a wildcard in Senate Republicans’ on-again, off-again attempts to repeal Obamacare. In July, McCain flew to the Capitol while undergoing treatment for brain cancer to cast the deciding vote to begin debate on Obamacare repeal, even as he condemned the lack of “regular order.” Days later, […]

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel isn’t backing down from his fight to save health care for millions of Americans in the face of Republican attacks. And Wednesday night, Kimmel widened his battle to include Fox News, as the host called out morning host Brian Kilmeade for his gaping hypocricy. It’s all part of an unfolding […]
