When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here.

Can't wait to watch Mitch McConnell vote in favor of RFK Jr.'s nomination to be the head of HHS along with his lawyer who sued the FDA to revoke the polio vaccine's approval.

After Hitler was elected, i wonder if half the German population was as concerned as half of us are right now?
These three immigrants pushed out targeted propaganda and lies for years. I am so disgusted. We will be lucky if we still have a democracy after the next four years.
Thou shalt not groove to the YMCA while marginalizing the communities that made the song iconic.
The 1/3 or so of the electorate who chose not to vote (they could be their own party) are just as responsible for what's coming as the people who voted for him.
Inaction was an action.
A screen print of the word “AIDS” in red on a green and blue background.
Yesterday, I went to Ghent’s contemporary art museum, S.M.A.K., and by chance saw this “AIDS” screen print (1987) by the General Idea collective, replacing the word “LOVE” in Robert Indiana’s original from 1966 to draw attention to the disease and break the stigma around it.
