With <4 weeks to go, #Republicans appear poised to win the Senate, which is currently controlled by the Democrats.

The fight for the House and Senate: Where things stand
Will the House and Senate flip in November? We look at where things are headed with less than four weeks to go.Marianna Sotomayor (The Washington Post)
Would Some Attorney, Law Professor or Judge please explain:
WHY HAS DOJ NOT ARRESTED OR OTHERWISE CHARGED DONALD J TRUMP WITH VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW
18 U.S. Code § 2383
There are copious audio and video recordings, witnesses, text and social media messages and mountains of other evidence linking Donald J Trump to a direct and provable violation of this Federal Law! leading up to and on January 6th 2021.
It provides fines and incarceration for up to 10 years and prohibits such person from ever holding any office under the United States!
Joe, Merrick ... what have you ignored for nearly 4 years that would have prevented this F***ING MESS?

President #Biden & lawmakers are advocating for #Congress’ return to Washington to provide more relief, especially w/Hurricane #Milton poised to cause massive damage.

Voters have come to trust #Democrats on #healthcare much more over the years since the #law #Republicans tagged as “#Obamacare” passed. More than 60% of Americans now say they like the #ACA.
In 2010, Obamacare was the culprit for the Democratic wipeout in #Congress, but its political fortunes have turned dramatically. In 2018, Democrats won the #House, largely by running on a message that w/o a Democratic check, #Trump’s myriad efforts to topple the #law would succeed.
#Trump supported the #Republican #Congress’s effort to roll back most of Obamacare, including undoing some of the regulations for #PreexistingConditions & making major #cuts to #Medicaid. It failed because of #JohnMcCain.
Trump dramatically cut funding for #enrollment outreach. He tried to introduce Medicaid work requirements for people covered by the #ACA’s expansion (but was stopped by the courts).
