The bottom line is do folks remember how hard getting the ACA was. We likely won’t get it back. And now the GOP not only reneged on all promises but have now threatened abortion law as well. I want Schumer out as a leader before the next deadline. He was in charge and bears responsibility whether he was complicit or not. Personally, I believe he planned it.
