Susan Collins has apparently decided to give Republicans the votes needed to pass the SAVE Act. This is a three-alarm emergency. We must act swiftly.
Tell every Senator right now we absolutely cannot let this pass:

Instead of cutting cancer and Alzheimer’s research by nearly half like Trump wanted—I secured a more than $415 million increase to fund NIH and lifesaving medical research.
I said I would tear up Trump's budget and write a new one and that's exactly what I did.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Epstein-Barr, herpes, and shingles vaccines shelved should get people hounded out of society. That’s beyond anti-vaccine or anti-intellectualism. It’s reactionary know-nothingism. If there’s such a thing as technological solutionism, this is tech problematicizing.

1978 Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn comedy I've not heard of other than a short description I read which suggested intriguing notes of Hitchcock.

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

Hall & Oates knew. Plug your sterile drum machine into a guitar or bass amp and drive it a little hard with a mic in front of it. Magic that you don't need a saturation VST to create, and a nicely shittified top end so it doesn't sound so clinical.
