So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

I agree with Aaron. I grew up before the internet. Our community was how we connected. 4H, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts for my brothers. We met in person with friends and built our community relationships. Playing baseball and basketball at the school yard. Face to face.

Important Saturday Night Message

I won't back down. Not today. Not ever. We are going to fight back.

And if they cancel it before I draw a dime, I will sue for the full amount I paid, plus interest.

I've never sued anyone before. I wonder if we can gather a coalition of folks to sue for our back pay in bulk?
