2. I think impeachment is the correct route, but she has chosen the wrong target...

If she wants to make a BIG statement the target needs to be Thomas and Kavanaugh. Send a message that unqualified lying SC justices will NOT be tolerated and that might slow the republicans down for a minute. Because the hearings would carry through until after the election and if there is a democratic senate, then Thomas and Kavanugh would be out anyway and we'd have a liberal court again.

4. Exactly. And Speaker Pelosi is letting Americans know that she's in touch with them.

Excerpts:


"...The Republicans decided that they would be disrespectful and move ahead that very night...the hypocrisy of the Republicans on this is really not important in people's daily lives but it is indicative that they don't keep their word...

When people understand, and they do, what this means in their lives -- no more benefit of th pre-existing condition, no more having your children be on your policy until age 26, no more having medicaid expanded to cover long term care and the needs of our children with pre-existing conditions, and returning to a time where being a woman is a pre-existing. medical. condition.

The people know that, and that's why the Republicans are rushing. They want to get it done so they can overturn the Affordable Care Act.

And you know what? They're going to be paying this price for elections to come. Elections to come. Everyone's looking at what makes the difference in these senatorial races. We'll see. But what they don't really understand is they're going to see 2018 again and again and again in terms of defeats in the Congress...

In the midst of a pandemic... We have to think both short term and long term...

I see you said Mitch America. No. It's Moscow Mitch...

We have to not agonize, but organize ... Keeping it on this: the fact is, people don't care about what's we're doing in Washington...the three most important issues in this election are health care, health care, and health care. At a time when we should be crushing the virus, and the president has ignored the science... criminally ignored the science...

This is what we have to focus on right now, so that people get out and vote, and they vote early, and they vote in good health and they vote for their health... Vote your health... Vote for your health...

... they get rid of pre-existing conditions ... women's right to choose, they have a price to pay for elections to come...it's 44 days until these senators' next election... many of these senators are looking at their next election... women will remember... "
