Good! This is the hardball that we need to play.

Republicans want another week to get the short-term funding extension together and they are using that time to try and ram through the health care disaster called #Trumpcare.

Democrats are threatening to shutdown the government, if there’s a vote.

House Democrats are threatening to oppose a short-term funding extension if Republicans plow ahead with a vote to repeal Obamacare this week, renewing chatter of a government shutdown if lawmakers can’t reach an agreement by Friday. “We're open to cooperation on the one-week [funding extension] if it appears that the [overall budget talks are] headed in a good direction and we just need time to do the paperwork etc,” a Democratic leadership aide told POLITICO. “But that cooperation is greatly impeded if Republicans attempt to use a [the one-week extension] to jam the TrumpCare bill through the House.” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) delivered the news in a phone call to House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) Thursday morning. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) had a similar conversation with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

And here's the arm twisting that’s going on by bully Paul Ryan.

Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen was a no last time around. It appears he’s a no again, judging by this threat by Ryan. He’s the chairman of the appropriations committee.

It’s come to this, so Republicans can pass this hot steaming piece of cow dung.

x People of NJ: intel that Paul Ryan threatened to take away FRELINGHUYSEN'S chairmanship. Call him, say you know this--do what's right. RT — Topher Spiro (@TopherSpiro) April 27, 2017

It appears we have the votes to stop this disaster, but…………...

x Paul Ryan says he doesnÃ¢ÂÂt want to subject health care debate to some Ã¢ÂÂartificial deadlineÃ¢ÂÂ — MJ Lee (@mj_lee) April 27, 2017

x That's because he doesn't have the votes. If you have the votes, you take the vote. https://t.co/tDXqNnOVTy — Topher Spiro (@TopherSpiro) April 27, 2017

We have to keep calling our representatives. Please call.

Let’s kill this thing again!

As if taking away health care from 24 million people wasn’t bad enough, House Republicans have a new plan that would be even worse. Call your member of Congress at 202-224-3121, and tell them you expect them to FIGHT Trumpcare.
