Campaign contributions from health care’s major players continue to flow to the GOP despite the party’s predatory behavior toward the insurance system and public health.

RT @billscher: Are Trafalgar, InsiderAdvantage, Rasmussen, Quantus and co/efficient skewing poll averages with GOP-friendly data? They haven’t yet. Their polls are roughly in line with other pollsters so far My @monthly latest

RT @tamarjacoby: Zelensky bests Trump for now - but many tough fights lie ahead

RT @billscher: “Will Republican Pollsters Try to Skew the Final Averages? They Haven’t Yet” My @monthly latest

The Trump Justice Department is suing Alaska because two U.S. Senate candidates have similar names. The lawsuit is bogus. The press shouldn't treat it as anything more.

Kansas? Montana? Mississippi? Democrats have reason to spend in states that seemed impossible to win just two months ago.

RT @billscher: “Kansas? Montana? Mississippi? Where Will the Blue Wave Crest?” — my @monthly assessment of the midterm longshots

RT @DeanneStillman2: Trump may want to rehab Nixon bc of Watergate, but he's already destroyed Nixon's overlooked legacy - signing landmark enviro/wildlife laws, even the one that protects #wildhorses, as I recently wrote in the @monthly. .

RT @glastris: This doesn’t have to be a dilemma at all. Democrats can just do what @billscher @monthly advises here.

Dem coalition is not prepared for the border policy dilemmas they will face starting on day one in the WH
