Democratic governors seek to roll back state-funded health care for undocumented immigrants

Pritzker's office said in an email that "this year, passing a balanced budget required the difficult decision that reflects the reality of Trump and Republicans tanking our national economy and attempting to strip away healthcare."…

Two Democrats want McConnell’s 2011 debt-ceiling fix proposal to be adopted | The Hill

They said McConnell's plan allowed Obama to raise the debt ceiling on his own while allowing Congress to pass a joint resolution to override that action if two-thirds of lawmakers wished to. They said this allowed Congress to continue to have oversight over raising the debt ceiling but prevented it from being used as a political tool. … 

The ceiling does not allow the federal government to borrow more money but rather pay for debt it has already incurred…

Tim Kaine: Two-Thirds of Senate Republicans Are 'Deeply Worried' -- TIME

Sen. Tim Kaine said that "probably two-thirds" of Senate Republicans are "deeply worried" about President Trump but that they won't say so publicly.

The Virginia Democrat, who was Hillary Clinton's running mate in 2016, said that the recent controversy over President Trump's alleged revelation of classified information at an Oval Office meeting with the Russians showed the concern from his colleagues across the aisle. ...

Tim Kaine Cries At Health Care Hearing, Says GOP 'Couldn't Care Less' About People

Senate Democrats held a "shadow hearing" on the American Health Care Act Wednesday to hear from Americans who would be affected by the GOP's proposal to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. One of the witnesses, whose daughter was born with Down syndrome, brought Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) to tears with her testimony. ...

No, Mike Pence Did Not Win The VP Debate

Civility is how you win debates in high school, but when the fate of the country is on the line, civility goes out the window. Where it really mattered, Mike Pence failed at every level, and the corporate media should be embarrassed for calling him the winner....

Did Mike Pence Upstage Trump With His Strong Debate Performance?

People who watched the debate, and there were several, said that Pence did well. Maybe a little too well for the comfort of his fragile running mate....

Pence’s penchant for dodging questions isn’t poise. It’s how he defended anti-LGBT discrimination.

The Wednesday-morning post-debate quarterbacking is well underway, and it seems many members of the punditry are giving Mike Pence credit for maintaining style and poise as Tim Kaine repeatedly laid into Donald Trump. How quickly they forget....

Kaine lost the night but won the morning

Tim Kaine’s performance in last night’s vice presidential debate was not always easy to watch. He interrupted the moderator and his opponent, Mike Pence, too often. His points were repetitive and occasionally came off as overly scripted. It gave viewers the impression that Pence was perhaps making very powerful points that Kaine was desperately trying to derail.

Meanwhile, Pence appeared the more reasonable of the two. At times, he was almost a cartoon character of a reasonable person, but it was a much slicker presentation that, on the surface, seemed more competent and confident. So it’s not surprising that, when the debate ended, a narrow majority of viewers thought that Pence won:...

The most honest answer in last night’s debate

Near the tail end of last night’s interruption-filled vice presidential debate between Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Mike Pence, moderator Elaine Quijano finally waded into a topic that has received relatively little attention this election season: religion.

After noting that both men have been vocal about their deeply-held faith on the campaign trail, she asked each “to discuss, in detail, a time when you struggled to balance your personal faith and a public policy decision.”

The response to the “religion question” was one of the most honest, compelling moments of the debate, with both men affirming each other’s faith and — for once — refraining from interrupting each other. Yet their answers betrayed two very different sets of spiritual priorities, with each man appearing to use their time to court a different subset of the faithful....

The Daily 202: Pence wins, Trump loses in vice-presidential debate

Conventional wisdom gelled overnight that Mike Pence prevailed in the one and only vice-presidential debate. The Indiana governor’s background as a talk radio host helped. Bigly, one might say. He was a smooth and amiable happy warrior. Tim Kaine, embracing the attack dog role that a running-mate traditionally plays, came across poorly as he repeatedly interrupted and trained his fire on Donald Trump....

Clinton and Kaine Are Challenging White Americans on Racial Issues

In their speeches on racial issues, Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine have made an argument that President Obama rarely has: white Americans in particular need to change their views and perspectives to fix the nation's racial problems.

"We white Americans need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers you face every day," Clinton said last month at the NAACP's annual convention. She added, "We need to recognize our privilege and practice humility rather than assume that our experiences are everyone's experiences. We all need to try as best we can to walk in one another's shoes, to imagine what it would be like to sit our son or daughter down and have the talk about how carefully they need to act around police because the slightest wrong move could get them hurt or even killed."...
