I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Americans will die. Red, blue and purple. This is evil in action. My rural county, as of January, had 2,118 people under 21 covered by Medi-Cal (California name for Medicaid). If they lose their coverage, they will lose their healthcare, period.
This is not about "left" vs "right" anymore — and it hasn't been for a long time.
These old labels divide the public and distract them from noticing they’re being shafted.

Nothing like a little “creative accounting” to push a $3.3 trillion tax cut for the rich. Republicans are using an accounting gimmick to make it look like their tax plan doesn’t add to the deficit. Can’t pass it honestly? Just cook the books.
