Lift where you stand. Do something. I called my local Catholic Church and asked how I can help them. I called the Mexican Consulate and asked the same thing. People can’t get to grocery stores, run errands, kids are missing school. How can you help? What are you doing?

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

The acting CDC Director has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health. Trump has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health.
Both are calling to make the MMR vaccine into 3 separate shots, which makes absolutely no scientific or public health sense.

Acting CDC boss wants to break up MMR vaccine into three shots
Jim O’Neill joins President Donald Trump’s call for three distinct measles, mumps and rubella shots, claiming a separation would ‘reduce the risk of side effects’ and ‘maximize parental choice’

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

I know I wavered a bit in my last weekly wrap up. But I am clear now. Democrats cannot roll over to avoid a shutdown. Trump and Republicans are trying to destroy the ACA. Hospitals will close. Premiums will increase. People will be left uninsured. Hold the line. No healthcare. No vote!
