Ted Cruz lies about Obamacare even as he gets Obamacare.


Yes, Ted Cruz announced that he would get his health insurance through the Affordable Care Act exchange after spending years ranting about repealing "every word" of the law. And he's even lying about being legally required to get his insurance through Obamacare. He could get insurance anywhere he wants in the private market. He's choosing Obamacare because it's the best deal. (Good for him, but shame on him because he wants to repeal it for everyone else.)

Check. Spelling impairments? Check. Arrogant ignorance? Check. Fact-free attacks? Check. Revisionist history? Check. Absolute douchebaggery? Double-check.

Hey Senate Republicans! Do your job! Confirm Loretta Lynch!


Loretta Lynch did a great job at her confirmation hearings and would make an excellent Attorney General, but Senate Republicans have been playing games with her confirmation vote. No one has raised any serious objections about her qualifications, and it's time for them to stop screwing around and bring her nomination to a vote.
