Progressive groups, abortion-rights advocates and labor unions are urging Senate Democrats to slow work to a crawl to prevent Majority Leader Mitch McConnell from passing a health-care bill before a weeklong July 4 recess. Health-care bill opponents want to hammer Republicans at home during the break in an effort to kill the proposal later in the month.
McConnell’s attempt to craft an Obamacare replacement behind closed doors has muted public focus on the coming debate, which groups say could help him get enough Republican support to pass the measure. Even more so, they complain, investigations into Russian election meddling and Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey have crowded health care off the front pages.
“The relentless pace of mind-blowing revelations on Russia have been a disaster for Donald Trump but also an opportunity for Mitch McConnell,” said Ben Wikler, Washington director for the liberal group MoveOn.org.What's up with ... less

Why do you need a beefed up legal team to defend against nothing? Is Trump a bleeding heart? Does he just want to throw money away on paying lawyers needlessly and also making them very wealthy?. WHO PAYS FOR ALL OF THIS?

Of course the same is true for them of us. We don't make any sense to them either. And so it goes. For how long?

I figured, well, most of my 'friends' are ppl from high school that I was never even really friends with LOL, and also some from college too that were kind of just acquaintances. yet I have liked SO many various people's posts over the last few years and they have never liked mine.. not even once. Today I posted a quote, not even one like or reply. I cannot post pics b/c my phone needs some kind of promo code (its a prepaid) so most of my posts are quotes or just cool things I find online too... it REALLY has bummed me out that no one , ever, has liked or commented.. not even my two close friends in which i like MANY things of theirs .. are they not seeing my post or??? What do you like or dislike about FB? less

I have posted about abuse I had from my mother since childhood here before, but this query bases around if you have ever known a sociopath yourself, or if not, where would you draw the line at their illness, or them just being mean or cruel? A short history is my mom has OCD, is manic, borderline personality and also borderline sociopath- she rages, curses, hits, screams, threatens and has even threatened my life once and her own. She is obscenely obnoxious and excessively clean- but when she has a RARE moment of 'how did such and such go?' you can see a tiny TINY spark of humanity inside. It is so rare but yet she shows this to her mother, and strangers, often. A mask , and then tells me people 'love her'... so when she is being kind and humorous with THEM, but never with me , for years, I know she is capable of kindness in 'some' way. She then says the most cruel and horrible things to me about myself, and I don't see it as illness at that point, I see it as mean... less

The only persons I've mentioned this to are my parents, and their response was it happens sometimes but it shouldn't. I'm particularly worried as I'm about to commit myself into a relationship, and I don't want such accidents to be a deal breaker.
Mine is from "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines"~ a fun theme!If you've not heard it - - at least wait until the 0:26 seconds-or-so mark when the men start singing
