It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Before the ACA I could not be insured unless I joined a high risk pool. The last time I looked into that was 1998 and it would have cost me $8000 a year (the equivalent of $15,600 today) when I was only making $20k before taxes.
We cannot let these Fascist monsters drag us back to that.

Republican Health Care Lingo Every Voter Should Know.
Do YOU know what your Republican Member of Congress means when they say things like "high-risk pools?"
It means they want to go back to when people with pre-existing conditions like cancer could be denied coverage.

Ultimately we can't make enough individual choices to work our way out of corrupt systems. We have to somehow get the systems uncorrupted. Unfortunately a lot of people don't realize how far the corruption goes.

What do you propose? All the major card companies have been quietly controlling who can even bank for decades. Stripe is doing the same stuff as paypal. Paypal owns venmo.
It's very easy to say "don't do thing" except that nothing else is any better.

“Vaccines do not cause autism” is the message.

Incredible victim blaming by cops, who hate kids on scooters & post about them on social as if they are our nation’s top criminal menace
Boy, 13, dies after crashing electric scooter into car in Stoneham - The Boston Globe
The boy struck the Toyota Corolla, driven by a 73-year-old person, that was turning left from Oak Street onto Royal Street, Friday afternoon.

So am I understanding that we've been treated to illicit messaging between that so-called journalist and the HHS secretary that involves a discussion of sexual practices that most might consider outre?

Also, she fully believes a cabal of worldwide Jewish pedophiles control the government. She just thinks Trump has become compromised by them. Or possibly was secretly compromised the entire time.

The grift don't stop.
My assumption would be a pivot to punditry / Fox commentator or other similar grift.
She assumed office on 1/3/21, so 1/6/26 will give her the five years required to get a congressional pension and lifetime access to FEHB health insurance. And it'd get her out of the blast radius of a GOP collapse.

So Trump's stochastic terrorism worked as intended, at least three of the Democrats whose deaths he called for had bomb threats called into their offices today.
This on top of the five Indiana state senators who've been swatted.

Trump's only loyalty is to himself, so anyone who treats him with baseline respect, even if they find him 1000% contemptuous, will automatically trigger his fawning response because his ego demands every tiny bit of positive attention, even if it's backhanded. Like the South Korean crown gift.
Trump’s desire to be loved leads to contradictions and no real loyalties. He’s always been like this.

The Scott proposal hews most closely to Trump’s various remarks.
“While ACA plans would still be required to cover people with pre-existing conditions under the Scott proposal, it is likely that the ACA Marketplace would collapse in states that seek a waiver under his approach.”
“While ACA plans would still be required to cover people with pre-existing conditions under the Scott proposal, it is likely that the ACA Marketplace would collapse in states that seek a waiver under his approach.”
Proposals from Senators Scott and Cassidy to convert ACA premium tax credits into health accounts present trade-offs that benefit healthy people at the expense of sick people. Senator Scott's proposal, in particular, would destabilize the insurance market in some states.

I have a Leonardo Nuvola Lilac with a <f> nib also up for being sold. It’s pretty. And I will obviously sell it for less than the going rate since the important thing is to get together $80 for my neurology appointment. So! Want a Leonardo for $80? It has rose gold detailing.

They created the crisis, escalated it themselves, and justified murdering this pregnant woman and her baby because her car was coming - at zero miles an hour - at a cop who had ample time to step out of the way of the car he intentionally stepped in front of, but he shot instead. I hate it here.

Trans people have exhaustively detailed the links between the anti-trans and anti-abortion movements, we warned that transphobia was a wedge issue for the religious right to roll back women's rights, only for us to be ignored, and of course UK TERFs are setting their sights on abortion.
Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

one of the underrated factors for the rise in scamming across U.S. society is the death of local media.
It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
