Today is the last day of open enrollment. That means it’s the deadline to make sure you and the people you love have health insurance in 2019. So head over to https://t.co/ob1Ynoesod to get covered! Here’s what else you need to know today about health care: pic.twitter.com/gosn6c6uCa
I don’t talk politics, I don’t start anything, I’m like Kwai Chang Caine from the old “kung Fu” t.v. show. I’m peaceful and quiet, but when they attack me I have to defend myself.
Good Saturday Morning, Midday, Afternoon to all TODville Community 🙏💙🙏
Thank you, NW for all you do for Us❣
Thank you, Chips and all the TOD Twitter brigades, Commentators, Lurkers and welcome to new TODbots, I have seen a number of names that I thought….as New names. Welcome💙💜❤💙💛🧡
ACA is Not Unconstitutional……#GetCovered, please.
This is a great story indeed! Two people from very different backgrounds/cultures yet they share those human traits that we as parents understand. We only need to listen to one another…listen with open minds and open hearts. Beautiful story of human contact!
Mary Frank posted on her site a Noah skit about Prime Minister May, who says after carrying out her lousy Brexist deal she’d exit the office. For me the real news is the EU said UK can cancel the Brexit nonsense without penalty. (Yay.) And imo the key point about May is that her function/job was always to ram the destructive Brexit deal through, mess up the economy, isolate UK making it totally vulnerable to Bannon/Putin style predation. And not about her being Prime Minister. Imo May has been merely the far right conduit. May all European nations be vigilant against such tailored anti-solidarity corporate right wing attacks going forward…
Its usually nice, the food is great, and the gifts range from apple watches to cruises. One year I won a PlayStation, two years ago I won a Keurig coffee maker.
Sadly, I will not be seeing Michelle Obama when she makes it to my neck of the desert in February…. glitchy mess on TicketMaster the other day for the ‘presale’ tickets…. I was so frustrated with the whole ordeal… I mentioned this to my daughter last night in passing. Well, she texted me today to tell me that she and my son wanted to surprise me with tickets for Christmas. Slight problem. There is a 2 ticket minimum and those tickets are $1400. I will have to read her book and be happy with that. I don’t have that kind of $$$. Sure made me smile to know that my kids wanted to do that for me. Family is everything:)
I do not know if you saw my question to TOD a few days ago about the tickets to Becoming tour. It was recommended that the pre-sale tickets were the more highly priced.
But that the tickets that would available to the general public were as low as $36 to $69 or $100. these are the ones that I aiming for when to go to the Cleveland stop.
There’s absolutely no chance this wild and crazy judicial decision holding the entire ACA unconstitutional will survive Supreme Court review. You can take my opinion on that to the bank. This isn’t even close. https://t.co/aYshO90J69
By installing a Senate confirmed official as CoS (who is not quitting as OMB chief) Trump blunders into being the first POTUS to have a CoS who can be called to testify before Congress.

Thank you, Mr. President. And no matter what happens, we will all remember how Obamacare was the first step on the path to universal health care and Medicare for all. Thank you for making America well again.
Republicans can borrow trillions to give millionaires and billionaires tax cuts, but when it comes to helping people get healthcare, all they do is everything they can to keep people who need it get health coverage. .

Make them pay for this evil they do. That’s why we vote
The vast majority of these children have parents or other family members who are ready to sponsor them in the US, but the Trump Administration has deliberately created a bottleneck so that it’s difficult for the children to be released.
I want them to pay penance…for not speaking out against the racism…the birtherism,…all the nasty racist things that were said about President Obama and his family …you and others do not get a pass now that you see the light #ThatIsAllhttps://t.co/q5TaTnqRRg
Thread! Due to ignoramus Trump and poorly-informed pundits, too many Americans think the #ACA is nothing but the mandate, pre-existing coverage, and https://t.co/1MdMjuetM1. It's SO much more. If the O'Connor ruling stands, these items will disappear:
Starting @PublicAllies Chicago was the best job I ever had – formative and fulfilling, it was a daily reminder of the power and opportunity I had to create real change. I loved seeing that same spark in the young leaders I met in San Jose. We’ll hear from them again soon. https://t.co/Jp2HBPjh2D
Cannot-Make-It-Up Department. Interior Secretary under investigation for allegedly trying to enrich himself in office wouldn't leave job until he could have Christmas party with lobbyists and take pictures in front of stuffed polar bear https://t.co/SLfl8ZYtnl
Sick people never get RTs when we talk about how we don't want to die. Healthy people think it's hyperbole. It's not. The #ACA is the only thing standing between sick people and death because it's the only law protecting our #healthcare. Someone you love is alive because of it.
With you all the way. My son was able to keep alive for as long as he could, which he considered a gift, because of ACA and the wonderful medical team it allowed him to have! #ACA#healthcare
This was such a beautiful, heartwarming story. So fitting for Christmas. I hope the guy really does turn his life around. He seems like a decent human being.
Bernard Kerik is a convicted felon. Doesn’t that make him one of the bad guys the @NRA is talking about? A bad guy who shouldn’t have access to firearms? Or is it ok because he’s white? I’m gonna need a flowchart. https://t.co/s1b8kqi4T1
After another black “good guy with a gun” was killed by police, the NAACP slammed the NRA for “continuing to demonize and alienate people of color who are blamed for exercising their right to own and brandish firearms.” https://t.co/06gfIKTGf1
Xmas present from outgoing Ryan = E-3 visas to Irish Nationals:
“House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), who repeatedly has blocked legislation providing citizenship to mostly Latino immigrants brought to the United States as children, is pushing a bill that would give thousands of Irish nationals work visas.” (Entralgo). So instead of disappearing in shame,
Ryan wants to be Ambassador to Ireland in the future: The gall of the “good Catholic boy” who wants to take away every leg you have to stand on.
“Under the Trump administration’s “public charge” rule, immigrants living in the U.S. on work visas who perform physically taxing labor may not be able to renew their visas if they accepted any government assistance, including SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), free or reduced lunch, or WIC, an assistance program for pregnant women and their infant children. Estimates suggest roughly 24 million people would be affected by the rule.” Social-democrat Irish, pls tell 1%-er Ryan that you cannot successfully extort or sh*t on dead consumers.
I’m going fine, sweetness!! Thanks for asking:) Thanks for tweeting this…. looks like there are some familiar names that took dirty Russian $$$$ in there 😂 Shocker!!! They think if they just keep their heads down and lay low and just rubber stamp all the nasty stuff that trump wants, they won’t get found out. I think that they all need to be exposed. ASAP
I remember being admonished by one influencer that “to a hammer everything’s a nail.” Media figures would roll their eyes & political figures would remind us that we had a Black President & Black AG as evidence that our warnings were overblown.
Well, that was my first thought, but then I realized that when you consider the 30% of Americans that are considered brain dead….you know, the ones that like him no matter what he does, then that 62% is just about all the rest of us. The other 8% can’t make up their minds or find their ass with both hands.
Instead of harming asylum seekers those #USTroops deployed at the border should honor their sacred traditions and liberate the children from those prison camps.
One torture-murder wasn’t enough to strain Trump’s loyalty to his customer: “Trump admin officials asked federal law enforcement agencies to examine legal ways of removing the exiled cleric in an attempt to persuade Erdogan to ease pressure on the Saudi govt, the 4 sources said.” https://t.co/z109XXcoHU
heh check out Pence! And the liittle russian tweeted:
“It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal?”
The Obamacare decision in Texas was a disgrace, but let’s use it to flip the Senate in 2020.
There are plenty of targets beyond Susan Collins. Take Ben Sasse, who ran against Obamacare, and is up for re-election in a state that just expanded Medicaid. https://t.co/t58xGdocwNpic.twitter.com/vsN8pvdQ3V
Let them eat cake, let those rubes that voted for Collins go without health care. You know what, I’m not even going to call them rubes. They knew goddamn well that she was against Obamacare before they voted for her.
Yep, its almost like running for President is a stepping stone to something else, like checking it off one’s bucket list. I’m starting to think that President Obama made it look easy and that anybody thinks that they are qualified to be President. But hey, who am I to tell someone that they shouldn’t run for President.
what kind os candidate would you like to see running for President…altho she is not in the running…i like Statcey Abrams…not sure if you listen to the Pod Save America podcsat…she was interview re: her lawsuit that was file re: the voter suppression in GA…but sh spoke on a range of issue…i like that way she speaks….
that is what my daughter says….that Stacey Abrams is a community organizer…her mission is to improve GA…but she is the type of candidate that i would love to vote for President
PBO’s brilliance made a lot of things look seamless and easy. We trusted him to take care of us. And many stopped paying attention. But now we’re rudely getting WOKED. America is seeing the truth about what happens when you put the worst kind of ‘business’ guy in charge who has zero knowledge level, integrity, moral standing, intellectual ability, curiosity or accountability.
–We need a level of demonstrated Educational background, for god’s sake someone who wants to engage w/full national security briefings.
–We also need a MEDIA that does real investigative work and truthful reporting on candidates. I hope we come down like a ton of bricks next time on the major news networks who covered the faux Hillary emails instead of Trump’s lack of credentials.
Nearly 40,000 people in the United States died by guns last year, marking the highest number of gun deaths in decades, according to a new analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control. https://t.co/9DDzlCJsjS
The non-prosecution agreement between American Media Inc. and prosecutors in New York "suggests that AMI is working with prosecutors on issues not related to the McDougal payoff." https://t.co/gr6eY3iQXD
National Prayer Breakfast (attended by Russian spy Maria Butina & Alexander Torshin) & perhaps Cambridge Analytica are tied to a well connected businessman, John Yenason, in Pennsylvania, where Alfa Bank repeatedly pinged a Trump server in the run up to the 2016 election. 1/ pic.twitter.com/EP7xQCm0LI
“A report prepared for the Senate that provides the most sweeping analysis yet of Russia’s disinfo campaign around the 2016 election found the operation used every major social media platform to help elect President Trump — and worked even harder to support him while in office.” https://t.co/OI7q0Naz0U

Good Morning TOD…….tonight we have our Christmas party at work, wish me luck. LOLOLOL
Good luck!! Don’t talk politics:)
I don’t talk politics, I don’t start anything, I’m like Kwai Chang Caine from the old “kung Fu” t.v. show. I’m peaceful and quiet, but when they attack me I have to defend myself.
Love these men

ACA is Not Unconstitutional……#GetCovered, please.
This story is quite a story. If you get a chance, please check it out.

Such a great story to counter all the hatefulness and bigotry we see in today’s news.
Congrats, Don on your Au ⭐ Furst 😉
I hope Your Xmas Party tonight is as wonderful and as pleasant .
Its usually nice, the food is great, and the gifts range from apple watches to cruises. One year I won a PlayStation, two years ago I won a Keurig coffee maker.
Sassy power coat
Sadly, I will not be seeing Michelle Obama when she makes it to my neck of the desert in February…. glitchy mess on TicketMaster the other day for the ‘presale’ tickets…. I was so frustrated with the whole ordeal… I mentioned this to my daughter last night in passing.

So sweet of them! Wish those book tour prices weren’t so high.
I do not know if you saw my question to TOD a few days ago about the tickets to Becoming tour. It was recommended that the pre-sale tickets were the more highly priced.
But that the tickets that would available to the general public were as low as $36 to $69 or $100. these are the ones that I aiming for when to go to the Cleveland stop.
Well, I would gladly pay that. More in my affordability range. I’ll keep checking:) thanks, gcl
LOL 😂

Good. THESE are the kinds of people we don’t want here. The migrants from Central America can stay. Boot these shits out! trump’s buddies, no doubt
If you’re a Downton Abbey fan, a teeny tiny hint of a trailer for the movie coming out in 2019:
Excellent piece
https://www.wired.com/story/manafort-cohen-sentencing-trump-mueller-investigation-worst-case-scenario/
I hope Tribe is right. I’m a bit worried due to Kavanaugh and the other rightwing justices. We’ll see.
We always have to worry, but when Tribe speaks out, it’s well thought out and from real knowledge of the law and the courts – so fingers crossed!
oopsie:)
Oh, fun!
I KNOW!! 🙂 🙂
Still and always, caring for people. GOAT, President Obama:) For real
For Real!
Republicans can borrow trillions to give millionaires and billionaires tax cuts, but when it comes to helping people get healthcare, all they do is everything they can to keep people who need it get health coverage. .
Make them pay for this evil they do. That’s why we vote
and besides it might be just temporary
What a nice fam….smilin
Would have been a nice first family for the state of Florida.,
I still don’t understand how all the polls showed Gillum winning by at least 5 points and yet he lost.
Important thread. Please share
Find him, karma
True ….
I’m sorry for your loss as well, Jacqueline!!

(((((((((( job44 )))))))))))
Evil personified.
Michelle Obama is on CSpan talking about her book. I will savor and enjoy this
This is a great story
This was such a beautiful, heartwarming story. So fitting for Christmas. I hope the guy really does turn his life around. He seems like a decent human being.
Nicely done and I believe, spot on.

NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. He doesn’t get to bring in his people while denying the same privilege to other nationalities. NOPE.

I would rather these folks become Indies. I do not trust their conversion

Should we start a betting pool here on the number of days this idiot will last as CoS?
And hey! That looks like Seth Moultan next to him… just an observation
Moulton. Sorry:)
Because, CA:)
He really does live in a sound proof, fact proof booth inside his little head
Finally waking the hell up??? We shall see. The rot is on every level of Republicanism now. Have to exorcize the entire, nasty beast
Only 62%.
Well, that was my first thought, but then I realized that when you consider the 30% of Americans that are considered brain dead….you know, the ones that like him no matter what he does, then that 62% is just about all the rest of us. The other 8% can’t make up their minds or find their ass with both hands.
I shouldn’t laugh. But I did.
you know it’s true:)
Our dear Chef is cooking up a storm these days!
Wait, he wrote this?? He’s psycho
He wrote it in 2014. About the last SANE President!
Trump is insinuating that he’s grossly incompetent? Is that what he thinks is a winning strategy? He’s more idiotic than I thought.
Oh, he’s idiotic for sure – but it was one of trump’s tweets about President Obama. Ugh.
heh check out Pence! And the liittle russian tweeted:
“It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal?”
Yes. Let’s.
Long past time, Maine.
Let them eat cake, let those rubes that voted for Collins go without health care. You know what, I’m not even going to call them rubes. They knew goddamn well that she was against Obamacare before they voted for her.
JHC
20/20 Senator Susan Rice.
All this talk about 20/20 President race has got me fed up already.
Yep, its almost like running for President is a stepping stone to something else, like checking it off one’s bucket list.

take a listen…
I need to proof read…sigh
I am very impressed with Stacey. I think right now she is needed in the state of Georgia. They have much work to do there.
that is what my daughter says….that Stacey Abrams is a community organizer…her mission is to improve GA…but she is the type of candidate that i would love to vote for President
