Yeah the only “moderation“ I can see is that 5 years ago when we were saying Republicans are coming for our healthcare, our jobs, and even our right to vote we were labeled alarmist. Now that it’s all happening we’re seen as reasonable and moderate to recognize it.

There really is this rash of very weird GOP defenses. Like when Paxton said the guy didn’t do one day in prison. That’s a lie! I put him in for a hard 60 days! Or Marshall saying he didnt get the pregnant woman arrested for late bill. It was for not showing up for the lawsuit over the late bill!

#ResistanceRoots The fight for universal healthcare may seem like a relatively recent phenomenon, dating from President Truman’s failed proposal for a national, publicly funded health insurance system in 1945. However, the fight goes back to the 1910s, and it’s linked to anti-labor forces. /1
President Truman addresses a joint session of Congress. On Nov. 19, 1945, Truman sent a groundbreaking Special Message to Congress recommending a comprehensive national health program. His five-part strategy included constructing hospitals and health centers, expanding public health services, investing in medical research and education, providing cash benefits and disability insurance to workers, and prepaid national health insurance. The American Medical Association launched a campaign against it, condemning the plan as “socialized medicine” and comparing it to communism during the early years of the Cold War. By 1946, “conservative” Repubs controlled both houses of Congress and blocked the bill. Truman tried again with subsequent messages to Congress, but the legislative effort ultimately failed. Truman later called this defeat the most troubling disappointment of his presidency. Photo credit: Harry S. Truman Library.

The grand jury also concluded that Ashley Moody, who was the attorney general at the time, was aware of the plans to divert the $10 million to Hope Florida and "authorized" her former chief deputy, John Guard, to sign the settlement agreement. The grand jury noted that Guard signed the settlement "without conducting his due diligence to ensure the proper appropriation of taxpayer funds."
