Democrats have an age problem
House Republicans managed to pass their draconian budget bill,
-- which promises to make massive cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and food assistance,
-- early Thursday morning by a narrow one-vote margin
💥that was only possible due the deaths of three Democrats in this current Congress.
The latest Democrat to pass away was 75-year-old Representative Gerry Connolly of Virginia, who died on Wednesday after battling esophageal cancer.
