Time. Americans follow rules, which is good--and bad. Americans will allow Trump to serve his full term, then feign outrage when Trump refuses to give up power...but "pass it on" to someone Trump chooses. My suggestion is follow the Constitution LESS, and the Declaration of Independence MORE.

IMO, the absolute BEST version of this often filmed Agatha Christie story. Louis Hayward...a 1930s, 40s movie star, who almost nobody knows today.

Thanks to Trump and the Republicans, healthcare premiums jumped after enhanced ACA subsidies expired and Medicaid eligibility checks resumed. Even more painful program changes will be phased in later. Rural hospitals are cutting services. Americans are feeling it now. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

Christa Pike is conscious and speaking after botched execution attempt, lawyers say
The prisoner received two doses of pentobarbital last Wednesday as authorities tried to put her to death Christa Pike, a Tennessee prisoner who survived the state’s attempt to execute her, is awake and speaking as she receives treatment at a hospital, her attorneys said on Tuesday. “Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking and continues to receive critical medical care. Despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her recovery is medically unprecedented. Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery,” attorneys for Pike said in a statement. Continue reading...

He didn't say "may". He said the main reason to get the senate back is to block Trump nominees. Blumenthal, however, said his "litmus test" is whether they can say Biden won the election in 2020. Fuck that. The litmus test should be "were they appointed by Trump." Period. I'll be calling Blumenthal
