Favorite PINO story was when he gave Christie the task of assembling the new admin by vetting & shepherding a thousand nominees. He was summarily fired when PINO found out he was raising his own money, as required by law, and not tithing to Trump. “I don’t care about the law! I want my money!”
No shit, Sherlock.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

I don't think people are really processing the fact that the sitting U.S. President and his team — and maybe the Supreme Court — and maybe half the Congress — want to force us to accept that we should obey the President and not the Constitution.
I don't know what news would be bigger than that.

Democrats, we need to talk.
These 8 senators let themselves get played by Republicans on reopening the government, and every one of us knew exactly how this would go. They handed Republicans the only leverage we had in the healthcare fight.

The Senate voted not to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, leaving health insurance premiums to spike.
This decision will leave millions of Americans with unaffordable healthcare. It's despicable.

The outcome was widely expected after Democrats and Republicans released dueling bills. Congress is under pressure to address health care costs before federal subsidies lapse at the end of the year.

This is data mining of foreigners followed by DNA testing. It's Eugenics 2.0. They want a database of everyone on Earth for the use of the oligarchs/tech bros/billionaires.
This is unacceptable. This grossly violates the Human Rights agreed upon after two World Wars.

This is the philosophical stance I adopted not too long ago. I call it "Irreducible Culpability".
When the harm you've done reaches a certain threshold, it is not merely acceptable, but a *moral imperative*, to treat your actions as willful malice and punish it as such.
