@RepJayapal says she’s introducing legislation to end PAYGO (the law, separate from the House rule@AOC protested yesterday). But maybe more importantly says the Rules Chairman Jim McGovern has agreed to waive PAYGO for a Medicare For All bill.pic.twitter.com/Bz2OL29HKD

Good question and my guess is it's a new federal entitlement. the CBO score on permanently digitizing patients instead of providing physical care would probably look good. Like REALLY good.https://twitter.com/DanAmira/status/1081283189908201472 …

Say what you will, but using the government to take land from elderly ladies to benefit billionaires was litigated during the election and the voters rendered their judgement.

Way back in 2016, Ted Cruz attacked Trump for using eminent domain to try to take an old widow's house and turn it into a casino parking lot for limos. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-time-donald-trumps-empire-took-on-a-stubborn-widow--and-lost/2015/09/09/f9cb287e-5660-11e5-b8c9-944725fcd3b9_story.html …https://twitter.com/mmurraypolitics/status/1081277031004991491 …

George W signed the Secure Fence Act, so not *totally* implausible, but Trump has also said over and over that the existing fence doesn’t count and we haven’t seen much indication Bush wants to egg Trump on.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/26/AR2006102600120.html?noredirect=on …

"NBC News attempted to contact HUD for comment, but no one picked up the press line. An email to a spokesman produced an auto-reply that he was furloughed. An email sent to the general HUD public affairs account also went unanswered."

95% (!!!) of HUD is furloughed for shutdown.

The shutdown isn't just about the Panda Cam & park bathrooms. It's also harming the poor & vulnerable -- leaving young children to languish in dismal living conditions, delaying housing assistance, & could place millions at risk of eviction. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/how-government-shutdown-hurting-some-america-s-poorest-families-n954361 … w/

Why do Dem leaders/strategists not like talking about impeachment? Because it's unpopular w the middle of the electorate. Sept 2018 NBC/WSJ poll on whether voters are *more likely* to vote for a candidate favoring impeachment hearings: All voters 36% Dems 62% Indies 29% GOP 7%

I remember thinking the same thing in the Bush era too, when there was a similar "Will D's overreach and impeach???" fervor that Pelosi also tamped down without much problem. Actual impeachment is one thing, but I question whether stoking conversation around it helps incumbent.

I get why D's think impeachment is a political loser and midterm results are hard to argue with. But I've had a tougher time getting why the other side is dying to talk about it. Is the frame "Yeah he has issues, but not like IMPEACHMENT level issues" really that good?

It's a good thing the Republican Party spent the last several years methodically building up their credibility as guardians of civil discourse and respect for the office of the presidency, otherwise this week would look really silly
