Not that anyone has any free brain space to focus on the future of the Republic this morning. But I put together this short piece on how to figure out which Senators should be purged from Congress. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-s...

Republicans Are Damaged by Their Own Cruelty
Theyβre pathologically unwilling to help Americans in need β and Democrats should hammer this home
βBut itβs now clear Trump doesnβt even understand why healthcare relies on insurance, why we canβt pay medical expenses out of pocket. Hint: You never know when youβll need expensive treatment, but should the need arise, only the ultra-wealthy can come up with the cash.β

We will never see eye to eye with republicans on healthcare.
Itβs because most of us believe healthcare should be a human right, affordable to anyone.
They see it as a profit-rich enterprise for big pharma and insurance.
This is why any solution they put forward is invariably a non-starter.

The current GOP lie is that theyβre going to replace Obamacare with something better.
Bullshit. In all of the majorities theyβve had since Obamacare passed, theyβve never once tried to replace it.
Theyβve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If youβre angry about βyour moneyβ feeding people but not angry itβs giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
Youβre doing their dirty work.

In all of the centuries of there being monarchs, has any of them ever been held accountable for rape? Historically, that's one of the things peasants were for, wasn't it? The current royals haven't caught up to the idea that all people have rights, and royalty isn't a get out of jail free card.

What did people do before SNAP?β
They died.
Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.
Theyβre why the average lifespan isnβt 35 anymore
The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Itβs weird how the βyoungβ Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldnβt face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.
But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

When college kids publicly say "Israel's war on Gaza is bad" that is full-blown anti-Semitism that requires the federal government to crack down on all colleges.
When Young Republicans in their 20s and 30s privately praise Hitler and "joke" about the Holocaust, well, that's just freedom baby.
