Dick Nixon:

Since my pardon will keep the full story from coming out…
Millions of Americans will continue to believe I was hounded from office!
Do you know where that leaves us, little girl?
ON THE COMEBACK TRAIL!

Pat Nixon:

Oh no, Dick! God, no!

I just can't put my finger on it....

Oh, if he wants that seat, it is his. I've seen, anecdotally, a kind of consens forming in the right that they are sorry that he's Dubya's brother. Dubya's failures make Jebby's failures look more benign rather they are or aren't.

The text of HR676 (Medicare For All) as PDF (30 pages). The FAQ. Compare HR3200 with HR676.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

18:16:03 Jeff W lambert, I wrote to NOW about that Elizabeth Warren video not playing and got a response of sorts back, which I sent to you as a private PM. Just FYI.

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
