Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Whenever I see stories about Mar-a-Lago face I think about the part of the Hunger Games books where Katniss muses that don't the people in the Capitol with all of their surgeries and modifications know how grotesque they look to the rest of us?

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

We are living under an authoritarian regime. We have a Congress that bows and a court that permits. As an ordinary person, it's overwhelming and terrifying.
What can we do?
1. Protest
2. Demand Democrats stop folding and start fighting.
3. Build a strong community by being part of Indivisible.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."
