Bad news, good news. GOP are going to drive our country off a healthcare cliff and they will get blamed for it. Upside is that it will be a fatal blow to their party. The results will be catastrophic for voters. Obamacare premiums are skyrocketing. Republicans can’t figure out what to do. - POLITICO

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

Just wondering why Wolff didn’t spill all this years ago? Am I missing something or is he as much to blame in the cove up as anyone?
BREAKING:
House Democrats just released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims — among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. tinyurl.com/5yj3dfpx

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

Today we learned Trump is alleged to have personal knowledge of Epstein's crimes & spent hours with victims.

FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet.
If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator.
The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.

I just emailed my senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, asking her not to capitulate to republicans. I didn’t vote for her to cave on the ACA and you probably didn’t want this from your senators either. Contact yours if they are the list!
