Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.

It’s batshit to me that the far left think they can win national, statewide, or even local races across this country w/out building a coalition that includes moderates. I’m a progressive. But I know calling moderates names doesn’t win them over, it just shrinks your coalition.

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

Trump and Republicans are terrified of policies that curb their own wealth and power, and the wealth and power of the oligarchs that bankroll them. That's why they're amping up the fearmongering about "socialism."

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.
