It issues a scathing rebuke of Justice Dept leadership:

"The leadership is more concerned with punishing the President's perceived enemies than they are with protecting our national security"

Seriously, I keep wondering when they will be vocal and shout that they don’t want their premiums to skyrocket?How about all of the fortunate people who retired before 65 and need the ACA because they don’t yet qualify for Medicare? The people whose employers don’t provide health insurance?

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans?

They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this β€œfree healthcare for illegals” bs?

What do the 20+ million think about that?

Meiselas: There’s the golden ballroom, which he claims is being funded by companies or corporations.

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

So now he’s advocating for ERs to deny care to people? That’s against the law. That law is what protects ALL people. If they deny care based on physical appearance, they can also deny care to poor white people, or care to white people with high deductibles.

For all the media repeating that ACA COVID subsidies β€œcost” ~$30B, the U.S. just pledged $20B to Argentina to stabilize an autocrat’s government and protect a GOP megadonor who loaded up on Argentine debt. No one’s blinking at that. Let’s keep things in perspective.
