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.

Two things:
1. If Elon really starts making unilateral cuts to money that was allocated by Congressional budgets, then people need to call it plainly for what it is
2. We don’t work weekends generally because of labor laws Elon wants to destroy and because we have families who love us
He thinks civil servants are “the opposing team”

Hey Dems,
Imagine just how much the GOP would be freaking the fuck out if Obama or Biden had allowed Soros access to all treasury payment and taxpayer data. Because they’d be right to freak the fuck out.

So, freak the fuck out. Now would be good.

So Trump fired the TSA and FAA heads, froze all Air Traffic Control hirings, and disbanded the Aviation Safety Committee… and he’s trying to blame this crash on Biden??

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.

“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr

This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

Think of the thousands of nonprofits….feeding neighbors, training people for jobs, supporting families, helping elders, caring for vets, rescuing animals, elevating the arts, bringing faiths together, and strengthens communities. This is breaking things just to hear the pain.

We sold our "forever home" in the hills in early 2021 because I had gotten so paranoid about fire danger. A month before the sale or insurance dropped us and many others. Folks thought I was paranoid then. Now, not so much. We need to get real about climate change.

"We live in a soap opera country. We live in a social media/cable TV country. In our culture you don’t want to focus on boring policy questions; you want to engage in the kind of endless culture war that gets voters riled up."

So sadly spot on.
