When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Real life Sophie’s Choice will play out in *2025.*
When I was a young girl, I thought the future would be about innovation, space cars, and oh yeah, the whole “my children will be anything they want to be.”
It was all bullshit.

The Trump admin will detain undocumented families, and give undocumented parents a "choice" of being deported with their kids who were born in the US, or without them.
Back to squalid conditions without access to bathrooms, showers or running water.
Back to adults and children dying in custody.

Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ?
I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser
Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

I’m old enough to remember when Trump raised over 100m for his first inauguration and most of it went missing. He doesn’t even need a Tom Barrack or a Vanky this time. He has direct deposit.
