Be Kind To Yourselves And Others. It Is Going To Be A REALLY Stressful Week For America.
I enjoyed todays rebuke of Trump from the sport world but, tonight, the stress tears are starting to build. The coming week is going to be the worst since the Orange Menace walked into the White House.
1. The revised Graham Cassidy healthcare bill tax cut for the insanely rich is being released tomorrow and, as impossible as it seems, it is even WORSE than before.

Remember, it is the previous version of the bill being scored by the CBO. So now, even when those numbers prove dismal, the GOP will say they are no longer valid.
A new and even more disastrous bill with unknown consequences that is expected to be voted on this week before the reconciliation window closes. We cant take our eye off the ball. They have until the 30th to get this nightmare through. We must fight them tooth and nail.
2. Puerto Rico continues to be the worst natural disaster in US history. Our fellow citizens are in dire straits and no-one in authority is paying attention. Moreover, the media isnt paying attention. Across all five network political shows this morning, a total of 60 seconds was spent discussing what is happening on the island. That. Must. Change. Millions of lives hang in the balance.

This has been such an exhausting year for most American citizens let alone those who were previously weakened/ill in any way before the ACA repeal efforts began 8 months ago. The Donald is causing harm through stress and anxiety. We all know he thrives on chaos and if there is none, he will create it. He is MORE SICK than all the ACA defenders combined. We have to get that fucker out of office ASAP since he is endangering the entire world.

And I've watched network news and my locals and they are talking about PR all the time. Not a word on Harvey or Irma, but PR they are covering in their sound bite driven news format.
