This is as simple as it gets -- MAGA/TRUMP are going to vote to gut Medicaid, eliminate rural access to health care, and destroy the climate...they should never get your vote again...

I generally agree with this, but I would just say that you need to swing at a few more pitches than you have been and you need to swing sooner. Taking pitches until the count is 0-2, and then swinging late at a slider in the dirt isn’t going to get it done.

Jamie Raskin:

"Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.”

Amen!!

Trump works from home.
"I don't think you can work from a home. Nobody is gonna work from home. They are gonna be going out, they're gonna play tennis, they're gonna play golf, they're gonna do a lot of things. They're not working." -- Trump, last week

The most comprehensive look at how we got here I’ve seen so far. A must read.
This has been my most ambitious piece of writing so far. It's long. And I will be working on a much shorter version for a wider audience. But I also don't want to lose sight of the deep truths lurking around us. So, here is The Plot Against America. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

It’s January 6.

I’ll never get over what happened on this day. None of us should.

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

140 million people in the US have a pre-existing medical condition. The Affordable Care Act guarantees that they can’t be turned away at the emergency room or denied coverage.

Trump and his MAGA Republican enablers in Congress have promised to repeal it.

We are going to stop them AGAIN!

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Alexander Hamilton: the Senate's power to approve a president's top nominees “would greatly prevent the appointment of unfit characters,” including those “who had no other merit than possessing the necessary insignificance to render them the obsequious instruments of [the president’s] pleasure.”
