This is Chuck behind the scenes —“Under Schumer’s plan … lawmakers would then establish a bipartisan commission to devise changes to the Affordable Care Act, which Republicans have demanded as they seek to rein in federal healthcare spending.”

Self-check: We are no longer talking politics (as a difference of policy) with MAGA. It is the absence of morals, in many cases masquerading as Christianity.
The Mellon family wishes they could sweep him back under the rug with his grotesque politics.

I don’t even like popcorn, but I’m getting a gallon of it now.
BREAKING:

Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.

In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

GOOD. Unlike WAPO and NYT who barely mentioned this historic event. The Guardian had a more extensive report.

The letters demand records, communications, and internal risk assessments about transactions linked to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their network. Trump loyal Republicans on the committee reportedly blocked prior subpoenas for the same records.

This is what men do—single acts of deflated heroism. For those of you who put your hope in his early big man talk, I’m sorry.
The governor, any governor, should have more to fight with than their own arrest. Use your imagination Pritzker. If you don’t have an imagination, surround yourself with people who do.

Exactly. They're talking about extending the age to receive benefits again. If they had their way, we'd all just die before receiving any of it. I retired at 62 because they had already extended it from 65 to 67 and I didn't trust them to not do it again.

Any bets on what Sulzberger will do? The NYT has played a reckless, feckless game of appeasement with Trump since 2016. Where has it gotten them (or any other duck-n-pucker)? Loss of readership, integrity and now ransom.

Take note Dems—leadership in Wisconsin. I love that he put insurers on notice, too.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has issued an executive order to ensure COVID vaccines are accessible to everyone and insurers continue to cover them.

We must call for an independent investigation. That’s where we are. Nothing Patel’s FBI puts out will be credible.

Putting people in harm’s way is not a plan. Be more creative and use devices you have at hand—dig up the surrounding area making it impassable; break sewage lines; pump in Celine Dion from speakers, set up a police checkpoint and check IDs, take photos. Wtf?
