"In the years of his appointment, the Private Notary has never met his Patron, or in fact notarized any document. This time, all these years, have been spent in study and preparation for when his services will be needed. When this may happen, and how it will manifest, he does not know."

He’s obviously an extreme example but I truly think one of our big problems is we mostly elect people who don’t do their own grocery shopping or any other routine form of market facing care work.
Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

What was that about emails, again? 🤯
The level of incompetence is of these F&@/ing idiots is shocking. I think it’s a function of zero guardrails and zero accountability that breeds this level of impunity.

This is a very reasonable reaction to what we are seeing. Planes are landing upside down, people are disembarking by walking across wings while they are on fire. You are getting detained, you are getting tariffed.

Medicaid is a godsend. Every human should have it.
The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents. http://dlvr.it/TJM0tj
Let's show up. Let's organize. Let's win.
