Oregon's Cliff Bentz is only having "tele" town halls where his staff can carefully vet participants and questions, and cut off any awkward questions or contentious discussion. He hasn't even done that during the current break, he's been invisible.

It didn't end well for King Charles I, but it's rather disheartening to think we might be dealing with this for the next 20 years or more.

... and Rep. Cliff Bentz said this wouldn't be happening.

This is me. I get along with the neighbors.

Cliff Bentz, shame on you! You've stiffed 26.3% of your constituents. The ones you screwed with your vote are the most likely to be diehard MAGAs. Those dual enrolees, whose Medicare premiums are paid by Medicaid, are going to be especially surprised if they get cut off. acasignups.net/piecharts

Chaotic policy is affecting our standing with other countries.

There's usually an excuse for higher energy prices: belligerence, or natural disaster in an energy-producing region, etc. But this is the first administration I've seen that doesn't at least attempt some defensive moves. This is self inflicted. A forced error due to poor vision and management.

Cliff Bentz, you spineless fraud! Only 28.3% of your constituents have insurance provided by their employment (mostly federal employees many of who've already lost their jobs). Almost 40% are on Medicaid. And you have SOLD THEM OUT, you heartless creep! I'm ashamed to have you as my Rep.

Today's bible verse pick from the atheist humanist. There are some good words here, starting with "If anyone says..." Do you know anyone who fits that description? And how did they vote?
