There's this billboard for what I assume (hope) is a law firm that I see every day driving home from work. Literally all it says is the name of the partners and, in giant text, MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IS ALL WE DO.
Wasn't it his brother who received the gift tho?
That's exactly what I was thinking. Yeah, it's a good burn, but let's be honest, he wasn't the one changing diapers and reading stories. He hired a rotating cast of nannies, didn't pay them, presumably sexually assaulted them and then had them deported when they complained. But I'll still give Kamala credit where credit is due; it is a good burn.
Not as far as I can tell.
It's a critical place to start.
Put simply, they're not going to. Like, I know people love BIG HUGE bills and shit, but these small things are things we absolutely need to tackle NOW. We can't put off a 4 year (LOLOLOL) Medicare 4 All plan without fixing some of this stuff first. Medicare Part D is a fucking dumpster fire of a program. The sheer number of problems that exist there are just...it's not good. Like, the drug I'm on, my mom simply couldn't get for 3-6 months on Medicare because of the guidelines they have in place. My doctor warned me that it would take about a month for my insurance to approve mine. I had it by the end of the day, because the insurance company and pharmacy agreed to cover my first two months while we get the paperwork done.
I think I mentioned Gallego before and I agree, he'd be fantastic. Strong progressive, hails from a swing state (if Wisconsin is stubborn, Arizona can replace it as the pivotal state), young male person of color (so directly opposite of Warren's demographic as an older white woman), a veteran, leaves behind a safe district.
I respect her for dropping out when it was obvious she wasn't going anywhere, even though she could probably be in this November debate if she really wanted
It's absolutely ridiculous. Some of my son's meds are biologics as well, just the sheer cost of these things is just insane. I'm also on a second weekly (self administered) shot that the insurance doesn't typically want to cover. True funny story--before they would prescribe this, they were requiring that I see a fertility specialist. (Not for anything bad, but I'm having some issues with my endocrine system.) And like, one, I am gay. Two, I have 5 kids already. Three....I am gay. So the insurance required I see one for several months before they'd cover the drug. I just went ahead and paid out of pocket because it was only $600 or so (And yes I know how privileged I am to say that.) But, anyway, we filled out a form to have my exempt from having to see the fertility specialist. On the "Reason for refusal" my doctor wrote "Homosexuality."
More like 90%. She should have just gone all-in on being the Senator who has probably been at the forefront of trying to fight sexual harassment in government, run a 3rd wave feminist campaign. That kinda thing.
Duckworth is a natural born citizen, though. Her father was a US citizen. Being born in Thailand is irrelevant, because one of her parents was a US citizen. It's the same thing with Cruz and McCain, honestly.
I fucking love her btw. She would be a great choice. She has foreign policy experience. She has military experience. From the midwest. A woman of color. Her personal story is amazing. She's a gosh dang American hero.
Illinois lets the Gov appoint a Senator. So, it would be safe until the next election without question. I don't see someone being able to pull a Mark Kirk. Raiding the Senate for folks is a problem, but I think Illinois is safe enough that it wouldn't be horrible.
We lost Illinois in 2010 because we literally ran someone from the mafia.
