Updated list in Naming Names based on article on donors to trump's transition team. Most don't appear to be billionaires or even millionaires. I'll probably remove the ones not clearly that wealthy. Right now they're listed, in case their donation granted them some access.

Great interview to explain why Maryland isn't redistricting. It turns out the only gain is one seat, and if the map goes to the court, there's a good chance they'd LOSE a seat. And in the end we still wouldn't have enough new districts, even if all are successful.

I like @unftr.com's idea about reducing the minimum age for getting medicare down until we all qualify and it's essentially medicare for all, i.e. universal healthcare.
Until that happens, Oregon is working on implementing their own. See hcao.org for their ideas.

I would take it farther and make it the next 3 months to really hit their 4th quarter (which ends January or February) hard. Freak out their investors. There's lots of options. Consider a nice vacation or classes or making something together instead. Make memories. Or get things free or used.

Consider this about people who may need help. This is the administration's idea of how they will help. Who else will they decide would be "helped" by farming? Disabled? Unemployed? Immigrants or even citizens desperate to not be deported? You?

India is the world’s fifth largest economy, and that means big new opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
