They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business on the September jobs report: "The numbers do not look good. I'm looking at 29,000 jobs added. That is well below expectations for 90,000, and our unemployment rate jumps up to 4.2%. A significant slowdown."

The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

Let’s be clear: I support a total ban on Congressmembers trading stock.   But Republicans are trying to package a fraudulent version of that with a bill to disenfranchise American voters.   This is politics at its worst. Put a real ban on the floor if you’re serious.

Nearly 3 MILLION of us have already lost or dropped our ACA Marketplace coverage after the tax credits expired. Premium payments jumped an average of 58%, and millions of Americans were forced to make an impossible choice: pay dramatically more for insurance or go without. #HealthcareForAll
