House and Senate Republicans are editing the GOP Tax Bill, and it has been updated to expand the child-care credit.
Republicans will expand the child care tax credit, a move intended to win back Marco Rubio’s support for the tax bill https://t.co/G9Y3AR1crj

According to the article above:
WASHINGTON — Republican leaders have agreed on a final tax bill that would provide slightly more generous tax breaks to low- and middle-income Americans by reducing some benefits for higher earners, one of several tweaks intended to solve the budget problems standing between the bill’s passage and President Trump’s desk, according to people briefed on the final plan.
With the finish line to their first legislative victory in sight, Republican negotiators agreed to provide a more generous child tax credit in the final bill to shore up support from Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who said he would not vote for the legislation unless it helped more lower-income Americans.
I honestly am OK with this. A large criticism of the tax bills is that it does little to ease the burden on low and middle-income families. I think a lot of this complaint is misguided, but I think this will probably be beneficial to GOP support in the long run. Working families should absolutely be considered in all of this.
Ann Coulter’s response was… dark.
Now, she’s well know for her dark humor and snappy retorts… but this seemed dark even for her:
We singles live empty lives of quiet desperation and will die alone. Now Rubio is demanding that we also fund happy families with children who fill their days with joy.

Whoooo-Eeee, Ann! That’s… a lot to take in.
So I’m guessing she’s being funny (because yes, it’s funny) but a few seemed concerned.
You ok there, Ann? We don’t need to put you on some sort of watch list, do we?
If you’re feeling unfulfilled, try volunteering at a charity in your area. If it’s children specifically you’d live to be with, many children’s charities would love to have some volunteer help, I’m sure.

I love kids, but let’s face it… that would be epic.
Wait look… more nice people!
If you feel that you are living an empty life of quiet desperation, it is within your power to change that. I am a retired veteran, single, no children, but devote my time & energy to making a better life for everyone. I genuinely hope you find fulfillment in a similar endeavor.

It is easy to see you as a caricature, but the truth is that we are all human, and need friendship & fulfillment. I suffer from chronic depression from my time in the military, and understand just how important it is to be valued. I am never happier than when I am helping others.

You are a smart and powerful woman. There are countless ways in which this country could benefit if you decided to use those qualities to unite our country and contribute to the common good. And please…if you are depressed, talk to a doctor who can help.

Let’s be real. There’s a 99.99999999% chance that Ann is being a smarta$$. I don’t mind, I find this tweet HILARIOUS – but I’m actually touched by the people trying to help her out.
I mean…. Ann’s twitter responses are usually just full of people telling her how much they hate her and different ways she should die… so yeah, I thought it was really sweet.
The real question is:
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
