Perhaps someone who wants to retire, or the only two with any integrity - Cheney and Kinzinger.

It is simply inconceivable how that Ratbastard could torpedo this legislation give the conditions lower income people are facing:

- unaffordable healthcare, dental, and vision care
- pandemic keeping people home
- unaffordable daycare keeping workers home
- wages not enough to rent an apartment anywhere in the US.

We got gut punched this morning.

Today, as Trumpism is slowly losing its grip, I am a bit more open to the idea. Let's see what happens in January, when the lawmakers are back in DC
