"Not a single Democrat has talked about wanting to fund care for people in the United States unlawfully. Instead, what Democrats have said is they want to undo Medicaid cuts projected to leave nearly 10 million Americans uninsured." A smidge different.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

The White House is blatantly violating the Constitution, ignoring Congressionally-allocated spending. Approving any budget would put a stamp of approval on the end of checks and balances. It'll hurt, yes, but it's time for opposition. The political costs will mostly fall on the people in charge.

An email to Director Bhattacharya to start the day 1/6
Dear Director Bhattacharya:

I attended the NIAID Council meeting online. I wanted to raise two points. First, I was disappointed that you sent a video of your presentation rather than showing up in person or, at least, attending live but virtually. You are missing out on important opportunities to interact with NIH staff and Advisory Council members. These individuals use their expertise and considerable time and energy to try to further the NIH mission. In addition, you are sending a signal about your priorities. This is especially true when you spend your time by appearing on The Glenn Show within a day. I realize that it was important to try to clean up the mess made primarily by President Trump at your press conference when he said repeatedly "Don't Take Tylenol!".

Another example. Republican efforts to curb Veterans benefits by creating a disability rating system that costs more to operate than simply giving all veterans direct government healthcare. Same goes for healthcare for all Americans. Doing the right thing is always cheaper than the cost to block it.
