Rachel Maddow A Block was excellent! [View all]

If you missed it, you should find the recording when it pops up and watch it.

She starts out with the history of what went down in 2009-10 and how the Repubs negotiated in bad faith and basically weakened both the recovery act and the ACA bills and then boycotting the actual bills when the vote came up. She finished with some commentary and a Q&A from a Biden assistant about how the little conclave with the 10 Repubs went down today. Basically, Biden gave them the nice idea but we're not gonna weaken the bill for you.

Good segment.
