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.

Things I love about libraries:
Everyone I meet is a real person.
Not interrupted by ads that get in the way of what I’m try to see.
No algorithms inhibiting my exploration.
My browsing history is not monitored or monetized.
Feel free to add to this list!

He literally took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution on Monday.
Since then, he's tried to overrule 14A (birthright citizenship) and is now challenging 22A (terms limits for the president).
Seems odd.

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy.
Or in prison.

No matter how dull conditions, there are always photographic opportunities! A long exposure brings out streaking clouds, against the turquoise waters of beautiful Moraine lake in the Canadian Rockies.
