So Now They're Trying Stealth Speed, Redux

twistedchick pointed me to this tweet from Sahil Kapur:

It begins: McConnell initiates the "Rule 14" process of putting the House-passed AHCA on the Senate calendar for fast-track consideration.

Gee, one would think that there must be something extremely smoky, smelly, and suspicious about the haste to get that bill passed.  The Congressional Budget Office's report was not favorable to the "American Health Care Act."  (See Shakesville.)  It's time to call Senators and ask them to vote No, or at least schedule hearings and read the thing.  Especially the 23 million that will be (re-)deprived of  health insurance.

Also, the House wants to water down the financial regulations put in place after the 2007 crisis, because they have learned nothing.

Kansas is ending its "experiment" with deep tax cuts (video).  It didn't work.

The Rude Pundit on Comey's conversations, and the video of the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing at C-SPAN (Flash needed; runtime 2:40.)  Zandar, citing Vox.com and the Washington Post:

The Trump Regime is in trouble, and badly so. Comey will help see to that. He flat-out said that he believed he was fired over the Russia investigation and Mike Flynn, period. What Congress chooses to do with that information, and what voters choose to do as a result, we shall see.
