Paul Ryan believes it is the federal government's responsibility to rebuild Puerto Rico both in the short term and the long term.
I did not hate him in that moment. It felt weird.

well since POTUS has completely abdicated leadership on the PR, could it be that the Speaker is trying to step in? Or maybe this is a power grab bc he knows Trump and Pence are going down, ha

mb3, I think the story is odd as well. I was considering starting a thread. I'm so glad the children are free now though.

And by low-hanging fruit, I mean sounding human in the face of a humanitarian crisis.

What exactly does it mean to go out and conduct your own off-the-record investigation of the server scandal? Who exactly in the "dark web" was she trying to talk to and how were they conducting this investigation? I have so many questions. Same.

If it were a true power grab, he would have jumped on any of the other truly egregious instances where Trump had done something horrible. Maybe a power gentle caress? A power shoulder massage. He's practicing for Chancellor Merkel bc he heard a rumor she likes shoulder massages from socially inept Republicans.

Paul Ryan going down there just makes me mad. They don't need us to send Paul Ryan, they need us to send fucking drinking water. People are dying from drinking from contaminated streams and all we could manage was to send His Royal Heinousness Lord Badtoupee and a Men's Health model reject? GFDI

Just got a letter from our insurance company that our premium for 2018 will be nearly three times what it currently is. That doesn't include my two children, who are supposed to have CHiP. ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/11tSQETxPFYBm8/giphy.gif)

mb3 I originally spiraled on this a year ago so my memory is fuzzy. I haven’t had time to dive back in since their release. What was mentioned above sounds familiar to me... that and the fact that this was the region they chose to backpack in while the wife was 7m pregnant seems odd, at the least. I’ll have to look into the latest info more when I get time next week.

Even the greatest of hiking enthusiasts don't normally hike through a war zone whilst pregnant. He brought up that they were Star Wars enthusiasts so maybe that is somehow relevant? IDK, the whole story confuses me.

ktg omg that is awful. H just bought insurance off the exchange and I'm not looking forward to what the 2018 price might be. And there are already only two companies left on the exchange to choose from. This is just awful.

ktg, I'm so sorry. How frustrating and terrifying. I really hope the lawsuits get somewhere fast and Congress finally stops messing around and fixes some of this. The worst thing is, if I weren't on this board, I wouldn't know about most of these things. If anyone I know is directly affected, they're not saying anything about it.

Rand and Trump are on Twitter this morning saying how much their EO is going to help everyone. It's enraging. I'm so mad about healthcare.

I don’t usually go here but I’m on the verge of a panic attack with all the healthcare news this week. And you know, the general state of... everything.
