I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Reminder that these executive orders are for shock and awe.
They are a distraction from bills in the House and Senate & the confirmation hearings.
Have a drink tonight.
Scream. Yell. Cry.
Whatever you need to do.
But tomorrow, we get to work.

Today was a rough day, by design. I feel so many emotions it’s hard to describe.
I know one thing though all of this was by design to make us give up.
This quote summarizes what we need to do. We are NOT staying down, we will NOT obey. Tonight we rest, tomorrow we rise.
Goodnight 🙏🏽

if we wanted to make it easier for small businesses in America we could, but we actually mostly only care about big businesses
So in Japan there is a Housing Security Benefit of $1000/month if you lose your job (or your business closes), to pay your rent.
This is one of the reasons small, weird businesses thrive in Japan: you're not risking homelessness.

I don't want to interrupt the rush of Democratic politicians rushing to hitch their wagon to Trump and company, but I bet the voters you'll be courting in the next election would appreciate it if you *didn't* do that and will gladly vote for anyone remotely to your left when they can.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

📌NOTE: In wake of this CEO's killing, it's worth pointing out that America doesn’t have a health care system, it has a health care INDUSTRY.
This need to be corrected pronto -- but because of the billions of dollars involved, won't be.

We shouldn't have to beg for doctor approved treatments.
Health insurance companies don't need guns to kill their customers - they just deny necessary procedures, tests or treatments.
Both ways of killing people are wrong.
Only one is illegal.
We NEED health insurance reform NOW!

It's important to remember that when Trump talks about pardoning the January 6th attackers, these were no innocent Boy Scouts. They were violent thugs, hellbent on wrecking our democracy.
