Gates wasn't interested in Psy Group b/c other Trump aides oversaw social media. George Nader & Joel Zamel (Psy Group owner) met w/Don Jr & offered to help *THROW THE ELECTION* at an Aug'16 meeting arranged by Erik Prince‼️

Remember when Trump diverted $10 Million from FEMA to create more immigrant detention centers? He needed one person in the House to approve this, and that one person was Rep. Yoder of #KS03. Pls donate to @sharicedavids to flip #KS03! #FlipTheHouse kcur.org/post/decision-… 1/
Remember when Greg Gianforte assaulted a Guardian reporter in Montana? Well he’s up for re-election, and the race is considered a “toss up.” I’ve heard great things about his Democratic challenger Kathleen Williams. Pls consider donating 2 her campaign! 1/ realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2018/ho…
🔥Internal @GOP poll shows Democrats up by 9 points on a generic ballot (7 pts = #FlipTheHouse). “Soft" GOP voters care more about Medicare/SS, veterans mental health services + reforming student loans than Trump agenda of tax cuts, border walls, ICE.😉

🤣LOL. @realDonaldTrump’s GASLIGHTING worked a bit too well.
Complacency among #GOP voters is tied directly to their trust in Trump. “They don’t believe Democrats will win the House. (Why should they believe the same pollsters who told them Hillary was going to be elected?)”🤣

First, Jeff Sessions called us "dirty immigration lawyers." Now, he says we are like "water seeping through an earthen dam" [to get around the law.]
I just had to break this down.

Sessions is the Attorney General of the United States, but he thinks "good lawyers" doing their jobs are somehow an affront to the rule of law.
Only if you define the law as requiring deportation, Jeff. The AG of the US should know better. Much better.

According to Jeff, accountants who tell their clients to take a lawful tax deduction, or defense lawyers who win acquittals are also shameful "water seepers."
Apparently, Jeff's notion of good lawyering has been colored by the likes of Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani.

▶️When 75% of #Florida voters voted to approve Amendment 1 to the Florida Constitution, they approved "the largest land conservation measure ever approved in a single state."
ℹ️The exact amount of money is “projected” because—according to the amendment that was passed—it was to come from 33% of Florida’s existing excise tax. An Excise tax is a “documentary stamp tax” paid when real estate is sold, typically 70 cents per $100 paid for the property.

🏔️This tells you everything you need to know about U.S. Senator Jon Tester from #Montana: he made history as being the first member of Congress who posted his daily schedule online.
🚜But in case you need to know a little more, he is part of the third generation from his family who have resided in Montana & has shown that he will protect the state from interlopers. The top “issue” on his campaign website is “fighting for veterans.”
Senator Joe Donnelly (D-IN) stands up for veterans. He is passionate about several issues, but helping veterans is definitely a priority.

🎖️Just one small example: when he stood up on the Senate floor and made this speech about Vietnam veterans and how they should have all the same benefits as vets from other wars.
💗Donnelly's very first bill—the bipartisan Jacob Sexton Military Suicide Prevention Act—was a labor of love. Jacob was from Indiana and a National Guard member who tragically took his own life in 2009.

Vermont is great. I get to see my rep @PeterWelch at the dump quite often. Today we discussed migrant children crisis over the recycling. Welch reminded me unless we #flipthehouse we can’t pass @senmerkley S3084 or @dwstweets and @repbass bills on investigating detention centers
Welch listened to my Pediatric ICU experience on how we carefully weighed each child and double checked drug calculations with a 2nd RN before administration of meds to babies/kids. And that we had a detailed medical history, allergies, conditions and monitored for side effects.
Welch visited the detention centers in Texas with his friend @SenMerkley and was also forbidden was access. This horror will continue unless we keep yelling about it and making it impossible for members to continue on in peace. Are your senators cosponsors of S 3084 and S 2849?

Shortly after 45 took office, Murray, an unabashed climate denier, presented @VP with pro-coal action plan that called for doing away with Clean Power Plan, withdrawing from Paris climate agreement, eliminating federal tax credits for renewable energy, yes halving EPA’s workforce
Wheeler serves as VP of Washington Coal Club, powerful yet little-known federation of 300+ coal producers, lawmakers, business leaders, policy experts who've dedicated themselves to preserving uncertain future of our dirtiest fossil fuel.

I had another life-threatening heart/lung episode today.
I'm not sure how much of it had to do with my cutting my heart meds back to once a day while appealing the increased price by my health insurance from $120 for 60 pills to $1k for 60 pills.
We had to call 9/11.
Scary.

I couldn't afford to go to the hospital--when you call 9/11 the city charges you $1,200 for the trip to nearest hospital.
They only accept cash.
The EMTs checked me out, told me to take the heart meds the way they were prescribed, established I wasn't in VFib, just SVT AFib.

So all day, instead of doing work that needs to be done, I have been trying to get my heart rate under 140, which given my lung meds increase my heart rate, has been more work: breathing exercises my PT taught me, single nostril breathing @HillaryClinton taught me (try it).

I have no idea who has this kind of money but it's more than I make.
The sicker you are, the more expensive your plan.And there's no option because the #GOP allowed health insurance companies (who just got a huge tax cut) to charge whatever they want for coverage.
