a/k/a Gail. Soon to retire from 30 yr. career as OT working in pediatrics and in schools w/special education kiddos. Dog-mom, theatre has-been, love to cook up a pot of soup. Living in a blue spot in TN.
They even broke the state legislature supermajority in Mississippi! May not sound like much, but it's an open door that once was shut. And it's our goal in Tennessee.

Repubs wanted & planned this. Next morning, every Fed website & voicemail blaming Dems. But where are they now? DJT in bed or golfing (who knows?), House dismissed, on vacay til 10/14. With talking points & sad videos at the ready, they blame Dems, who are in DC working. They think we are morons.

Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to Medicaid and plan to let vital ACA subsidies expire.

Millions on Medicaid will lose coverage. Millions on ACA plans could see premiums rise by as much as 75%.

Every lie they tell about a shutdown is meant to cover this up.

This morning on HUD website, and similar on WH website. If you call WH comment line, you get Karoline blaming Dems and saying the shutdown has caused the comment line to be shutdown. They are such good little victims. SO MUCH BS.

A victory for Rümeysa Öztürk! She will be transferred from Louisiana to Vermont while her case is heard—including a hearing for potential release on bail this Friday.

NEW: #Ozturk wins at the Second Circuit!

Stay of transfer denied, administrative stay vacated.

When a government starts by stripping rights from a vulnerable group, it’s not the end goal—it’s the opening move. What’s tested on the marginalized today is used on everyone else tomorrow.

Morale is in the toilet.
The Trump administration’s months-long hunt to root out the resistance is ramping up. Investigations are intensifying, with polygraph tests being used to create a climate of fear and intimidation.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

So now he is Mayor of NYC. That's what this is all about...quid pro quo. Hold control of the money and services, then dole out when people comply. So much BS.
History has its eyes on you.

If they ever invent time travel, I think we need to pass a law requiring everyone to spend one full year in an era before vaccines and environmental regulations. You survive that year, you get to come back to the present, and you'll never vote against public health measures ever again.
