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.

OPINION: The late author Julius Lester said, “Our suffering is a long-stemmed rose that we hand to humanity.” If we maintain that our deaths were utterly unique, then our story will not allow others to hear its lessons.

After being nominated, RFK skipped a meeting required as part of the nomination process, which was specifically about the job he wants & very real health issues facing Americans. He cannot even pretend to be a serious candidate. The meeting even covered dead wild animals, which I thought he loved?

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history: In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun." The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen. So they refused to announce a winner🤡

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids. “I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Here's my thought on Hegseth. No one should ever even need to bring up his sex life, drinking, or affairs: HE'S NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB. That...should be more than enough.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave. This is why women need protections, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Eggs are still crazy expensive (thanks to the avian flu) but the Department of Justice just suspended any pending civil rights litigation - all those cases where cops beat the crap out of Black folks. Did people realize this is what they voted for? www.cnn.com/2025/01/22/p...

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
