Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

NEW: Trump's recently-blocked plan to restrict mail voting through USPS was supposed to be even more prohibitive. New reporting revealed that the scheme originally called for the delivery of mail ballots via certified mail, a USPS service requiring ballot recipients to sign for them at home.

Report: Trump wanted all mail ballots sent by certified mail
Two White House officials, including Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, tried to help Trump make his USPS rule even more restrictive by requiring all voters sign their delivered ballots at home.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

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."

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

What a brilliant idea and great praise for the idea. Letting everyone have access to the literature we should all read is extremely important. Currently re-reading 1984, and it's quite scary how close a lot of societies are moving to that as a model, and how many idiots would like it.
