Medicare for All legislation has officially dropped in Congress. Please circulate amongst your friends, family, coworkers, pets, etc.---in addition to giving the campaign a bit of leverage, it’s also a way renew supporter buy-in leading up to actions this year, and the upcoming elections (the majority of Americans believe that the Government should ensure universal health coverage, and support for Medicare for All is still widespread) https://passmedicareforallnow.org/

Don’t believe the hype about “cuts” to Medicare Advantage. Read about the astroturf campaign aiming to protect insurance industry profits at taxpayer expense:

Cuts to Medicare Advantage, or Cogs in the Money Machine?

Insurance lobbyists are using the progressive-sounding language and the elderly to maintain a Medicare privatization scheme.

Please consider signing my proposal for the DSA National Convention. I'd like DSA to endorse and support the usage of RCV in state, county, and municapal elections, in an effort to get more DSA folks elected.

As P&G jacks up prices to pad its profit margins at your expense, the company is simultaneously spending $8 BILLION on stock buybacks.

How many more examples of blatant greed do we need to hear about before we finally address the corporate price gouging that's driving inflation?

It makes sense when we remember most if not all the Republicans in Congress are wealthy. Everything they do for the rich benefits them, too.

NEW:

Harlan Crow paid Thomas for property.

The law explicitly requires disclosure of property sales.

Thomas didn't disclose anything.

Here's Thomas' signature on the undisclosed deal.

Harlan Crow Bought Property from Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.

The transaction is the first known instance of money flowing from Crow to the Supreme Court justice. The sale netted the GOP megadonor two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ mother was living.

It’s time to impeach Clarence Thomas.
