1) Understand that "health insurance" is not the same thing as "health care." Your MoC is not getting care in the overflow hallway you got stuck in for 12 hours, he's on the VIP floor (you know most, if not all, major 🏥 have a VIP area, right?)
H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,

“The infamous Koch brothers have bankrolled climate deniers, propped up polluting industries, and even tried to turn the black community pro-fossil fuel. But, as a recent New York Times story shows, the billionaire conservatives have been steadily exerting pressure against public transit as well.”
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
A dark money group funded in the past by Peter Thiel has given nearly $9 million to a GOP-led PAC that is blanketing Virginia with mailers comparing the upcoming redistricting referendum to Jim Crow www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Cory Mills, who served in the Army from 1999 to 2003, spent a few months of that time in Iraq. Adam Ehrhardt, a medic who once served directly under Mills, told Mother Jones:

🔥🔥🔥There will soon come a time when there is no record of what really happened on January 6th, but for our cameras.
They are systematically erasing history. The pardoning of the Proud Boys is one of the final steps to deny any wrongdoing happened.
