Today as the Dead faithful celebrated the life of Bob Weir, John Mayer delivered perhaps the only “Ripple” that’s ever made me smile-cry… Highly suggest.😔
Confirmed that a new Q&A from OMB that’s being circulated to Hill offices says Medicaid shouldn’t be affected by the funding freeze
“Mandatory programs like Medicaid and SNAP will continue without pause”
This despite states warning that Medicaid portals were disrupted today
These bipartisan, bicameral PBM reforms—adapted from S. 2973 and S. 3430 and advanced through regular order in both chambers—would have delivered billions in savings, in addition to curbing consumer costs, bolstering market competition, and mitigating warped incentives.
Bipartisan @SenateFinance PBM reforms would save roughly $5 billion, on net, and have been marked up (favorably, with broad bipartisan support) by our committee, as well as the House @WaysandMeansGOP and @HouseCommerce. These reforms would reduce the deficit and help patients.
The 2024 #CapitolChristmasTree, in all of its splendor, is officially aglow for the season! 🌟 The tree will be lit from nightfall until 11 p.m. each evening through January 1.

MCCONNELL: This isn’t just a health and humanitarian crisis, though. It’s a security crisis. New reporting suggests multiple people arrested at the border in recent months have matched to names on the FBI’s terrorist watch list.
MCCONNELL: Majorities are never permanent.
The last time a Democratic Leader was trying to start a “nuclear” exchange, I offered a warning.
Touching the hot stove again would yield the same result. But even more dramatic.
This pendulum would swing both ways — hard.
Breaking Senate rules to kill the filibuster would not open up an express lane to liberal change. It would not open up an express lane for the Biden presidency to speed into the history books. The Senate would function more like a hundred-car pile-up. Nothing moving.
