Mitch McConnell will always be a creepy smiler.

Joe Biden confirms the speech is in the envelope. Well done, Joe.

Teddy Roose first called for reform. God, we’re slow.

If I lost my job right now, we’d have to move to England because there’s no way I can afford COBRA payments or purchase meaningful coverage. Come to think of it, both my husband and I have pre-existing conditions right now that would probably disqualify us.

Charles Rangel sighting!

Sidenote: the color in the audience is heartening, but we need more: by that I mean, more colourful suits. By that I mean, more women.
