Dear @arimelber.bsky.social, Upon watching your piece on M4A, your take is ridiculously simplistic. If you could blink and put in place it would be more efficient. A forced transition from the current system would be viewed as coercive and logistically intractable. Empty promises are just that.

If you want to achieve universal care, look at strict regulation and enhanced subsidies plus a public option. Keep it simple stupid or you won't get it enacted. If you don't you won't stay in power and their won't be a next time.

Democrats taking back Congress and/or Senate (2/3 67 Senate votes to remove DJT or Blanche) is but a 1rst step to return Constitutional Rule of Law to USA; to indict/convict Trump of war-crimes, fraud/election fraud, rape/pedophilia, power abuse, treason…Dems need POTUS too in 2028 to enact reforms.

That pesky constitution.

SaveDemocracy123@savedemocracy123.bsky.social

Democrats can investigate, gather evidence of Trump, Trump Crime Family, Epstein coverup, crimes, and preserve evidence; but no “prosecutions” will occur until a Democratic POTUS restores honor to now corrupted DOJ, FBI, by Blanche & Patel. We are far from achieving Justice; but midterms first step!

There’s no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Israel. Yet Netanyahu’s Likud and Smotrich’s Religious Zionism parties plan to send 2,000 right-wing activists to polling stations in Arab communities. 1/2

timesofisrael.comLikud, Smotrich to station 2,000 activists at Arab polling stations on election day, citing unsubstantiated concerns of fraud* * *

I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

The latest bullshit out of the White House is a suspension of the diesel tax. Wow, we get 4% off, time to party!! The quarter per gallon goes to fix roads. I guess that goes on the deficit. Congratulations, Trump bought truckers a present on their credit card.

Everybody’s calling out to JUST VOTE! My feeling is different! If you’re going to vote for the Republicans, who are fucking all of us and our democracy- PLEASE DON’T VOTE!  Stay home and watch Fox News.

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

It's already pretty obvious what Xi thinks of the Orange Chicken here

Sen. Mike Lee: "I won't be a bit surprised if President Trump decides at one point to say, 'You know, President Xi, let's go visit Panda Express and see what you think of their broccoli beef.' I'd love to see that happen. That's the kind of thing President Trump likes to do."

As we head to the polls, consider this: Trump has shattered foreign alliances Trump has enabled dictators Trump has corruptly enriched himself and his inner circle Trump has ruthlessly engaged in a vicious deportation campaign Trump has violated separation of powers

Trump has damaged the global economy Trump has started a war he can't finish, etc. Impeachment is a political process. These atrocities can be stopped tomorrow. He wpuld have no recourse. THE GOP APPROVES OF ALL OF IT. NO GOP CONGRESSPERSON DESERVES EITHER ELECTION OR RE-ELECTION. NONE.

THAT IS RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA! In fact, and I know this as a fact, the Kremlin actually produced that BS meme, taken after the same meme but with Fox, which is accurate when applied to Fox propaganda, but NOT to excellent CNN who’ve covered all of Trump’s fascist lies, crimes, & Russian ties for years!

Gov. Jim Pillen, R(NE) joins the pantheon of GOP hypocrits. His "family" farm (1,200 employees) has employed undocumented workers for decades. As governor he practices strong enforcement and ICE raids.

@readingwarrior.bsky.social

Any non-felon undocumented worker should be granted a worker visa and fined. Full stop. Deportations should be limited to violent felons. The likes of Tyson and Pillen Farms should also be fined.

I’m not taking any chances. I will get up, get dressed, and go to the polls the first day of early voting. I was the first voter in the primaries, and I hope to be the first voter in October early voting. This is too important to chance the mail.
