Well, it's our To Do List, we can add anything we want. Those sound like solid points.

That's a good start. I'd add:

Codifying abortion rights.
Making "norms" actual laws by
codifying the proscription against emoluments of ANY kind; codifying a ban against Congress stock trading; and codifying the necessity for the president and Congress to divest. (Make blind trusts popular again.)

Their plan is leave everyone on their own, resulting in rich people having healthcare while the rest of us don't matter. Middle class people remain dependent on their employers, which greatly limits their options. The GOP doesn't care if people suffer, because it won't be the people they care about.

Meiselas: A reporter asked the question that I've been saying over and over again to MAGA Mike: do you support repealing Obamacare? What's your health care plan?

To me, this is probably the most important clip about what's going on with the government shutdown, because the Republicans have no plan.

If Trump's laying off 'non essential' government employees, how the fuck is Stephen Miller still employed?

Holy crap. This is terrible.

The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

Looks like Justice Amy Coney Barrett visited the La Prairie counter at Neiman Marcus and asked for a "Mar-a-Lago" makeover.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

A month or so ago, I saw Nick Fuentes was at 700,000 followers. I got nervous that he was truly getting close to mainstream.

He's now at 980,000 followers.

Jamal Khashoggi would be 67 years old today had Jared Kushner not provided MBS with the intel needed to facilitate his murder. MBS later rewarded Kushner with a $2 billion dollar slush fund.
