MTG has increased her net worth by up to $25 million since taking office (from just $700k!) but people get riled up that she qualified for a pension.

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

If they stopped gutting ACA we would have that in a portal where others are buying the same which is buying in bulk and not as individuals
I wonder if they know most large employers self-insure their employees but go through the insurance companies due to those negotiated prices.

I think of Occupy regularly. I see it as the turning point where TN really started cracking down on the 1st Amendment. Occupy protests camped on a !MARBLE! courtyard. Now we have laws against camping, protesting can require permits and coordination, if you do it wrong you can be charged w a felony

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
