Welcome to Barf Bag, a daily politics roundup to help you sort through the chaotic Trumpian news cycle.

Hereâs all the shit we couldnât cover today:

- Bernie Sanders has officially introduced his single-payer legislation, which would expand medicare into universal coverage. [Washington Post]
- The White House says Trump is planning to sign a bipartisan resolution pushing him to condemn racist hate groups. [Washington Post]

- Another quick request: Can someone please ask Ted Cruz about dildos every day for the rest of his life? [Twitter, CNN]
