As the House of Representatives continues debate on health reform, we've heard appalling untruths from Republicans and heart-wrenching stories from the Democrats. One of our great Texas Democratic representatives stood up tonight to oppose the Republican "alternative," that won't insure the 37 million Americans who lack coverage, and won't cut costs as well as the Democratic bill. To help...
On a party line vote with one RINO in favor, the Neo-com Democrats pass PelosiCare (the House version of Obamacare).

The Republican Party will release its alternative to President Obama's plan for health insurance reform this week. In true "Party of No" fashion, it offers no solutions, no meaningful expanded coverage, and no guarantees that Americans can finally receive access to the care they need. In particular, the Huffington Post states that the GOP bill of No Reform would not end discrimination on...
GOP operatives are running a secret campaign to kill health care reform, and it's based on Karl Rove's old playbook TIM DICKINSON Read Tim Dickinson's full story in the new issue of Rolling Stone, on stands now. On the first day of August, a mob of 200 right-wing Texans stormed the parking lot of a Randalls grocery store in southwest Austin. They were united in a single goal: Disrupt the "office...
Tim Dickinson in Rolling Stone: On the first day of August, a mob of 200 right-wing Texans stormed the parking lot of a Randalls grocery store in southwest Austin. They were united in a single goal: Disrupt the "office hours" that Rep. Lloyd Doggett, the district’s congressman, had scheduled for his constituents. The protesters targeted Doggett [...]
As an assistant U.S. Attorney, she played a major role in the prosecution of Don Hill, et al. After a bipartisan commission studied the possible candidates, senators John Cornyn and Kay Hutchison selected her from the list (by tradition, senators approve U.S. attorneys for their states). But there’s a hitch. Oddly, it’s from Democratic Congressman Lloyd Doggett of Austin, who [...]
A list of candidates being eyed for federal judicial vacancies in Texas was released Wednesday by the state's Democratic congressional delegation, which is battling with Lone Star Republican senators over White House appointments to the open posts. The list includes two candidates from San Antonio, even though the White House has yet to nominate anyone for the positions and the senators say they are...
A press release from Cong. Lloyd Doggett today revealed the recommendations from the Texas Democratic Congressional delegation for the Obama administration's selection of the US Attorneys and US Marshals for the four Texas federal districts. While the entire list is noteworthy for its diversity and depth of experience, I'll focus on the two nominees -- both for the Eastern district -- with which I...

Forget the "tails" (Rick Perry, Cornyn, and so many others). On the "heads" side, thoughtful, practically unflappable, and compassionate, we've got Rep. Lloyd Doggett. He might be a little boat on a stormy sea, but he's still staying strong. Dear ( ): Thank you for contacting me to share your support for protecting women's access to reproductive care in health reform. I strongly...
By Business staff Eight federal lawmakers signed a letter requesting the U.S. Federal Trade Commission reexamine Woonsocket-based CVS Corp.'s acquisition of Caremark Rx Inc. in 2007. "We strongly believe that CVS Caremark is engaging in unfair and deceptive business practices that are causing harm to consumers, patients and local community pharmacies,'' four Republican congressmen and four Democrats...
The president offered a modest nod at the call for tort reform during his ObamaCare speech on Wednesday. The Wall Street Journal's Kimberley A. Stassel has reason to believe it won't go any further than that: The only folks not on board are a handful of powerful trial lawyers, and a handful of politicians who receive a generous cut of those lawyers' contingency fees. The legal industry was the top...
Last night, President Obama made his case for comprehensive health care reform that reduces costs, guarantees choice, and ensures affordable care for all. Today, our task is to call them and make our voices heard on health care reform. Send your support to D.C., and know that when the votes are cast, you still stood up for real reform. Know that we're not alone: there are many proud supporters of...
thinman Nine years ago, the Damnations played for Intel engineers at a Republic Square groundbreaking. Unfortunately, Intel’s Design Center grew to only a shell of its imagined self. Wednesday, September 2, four U.S. Congressmen tapped deeper pockets and gathered under a white tent with hundreds of federal workers for another groundbreaking ceremony. Three bomb-sniffing dogs patrolled; a dozen...
