1. I wonder if Republicans will get the hint?

While little of the proposed Medicaid slashing had been discussed 10 hours into the meeting, tensions were high and bipartisan outrage over House Republicans’ efforts to gut the social safety net program was on full display.

Will Republicans understand that this is truly bipartisan and that they will have to answer to their constituents at the ballot box if they pass this garbage? Or will they just brush these protesters off as being "paid" to do this?

Or maybe both. I am not convinced that ALL of them really believe that REAL people in THEIR districts are all perfectly fine with monkeyshines like this. They just can't bring themselves to admit it publicly!
