I really thought The Lincoln Project would keep mum on this one because, well, they'd probably ideologically align more with a 45* judge pick than a Biden one. They just really loathe Leningrad Lindsey, apparently 🤣

This really terrifies me. I'm scrambling trying to figure out what would happen with my daughter if we lose the ACA protections. She has secondary coverage by Medicaid right now but could we lose that too without the Medicaid expansion that the ACA brought? Is there anyone familiar with all this? She has a pre-existing condition for pretty much every part of her body and a genetic syndrome that is life limiting. Our insurance has covered well over a million dollars for her since she was born. We will go bankrupt if we lose insurance.

And this is precisely why we don't need an Electoral College. The Senate already levels the playing field.

goldenlove I don’t know what would happen. I just wanted to say how sorry I am that this is a stress you have to think about. It’s not right to put people through the worry.

Medicaid expansion is very popular, as basically every time it is put directly to a vote it passes. And protections for pre-existing conditions is VERY popular. I honestly don't know what the fuck these guys think they are doing. I'm really sorry. It's abhorrent that families even have to be worrying about this.

I'm trying not to panic yet but I kinda feel like now is the time to panic and not when we have a bill for $50,000. At least I live in a blue state that expanded Medicaid but I don't know how much federal funding they will lose. Ugh this sucks.

Watching Amy Klobuchar on MTP and she struggled with the messaging around why the Supreme Court nom should wait. It’s hard because ultimately what was said in 2016 was wrong but now they have to fight for it.
The most compelling thing she said was that people are already voting. That’s what they should lead with.

Hillary is on MTP talking about how she introduced Bill to RBG. It’s lovely. She’s also spitting fire on the nomination process.

This story about climate change and hurricanes is making me rage. Mayors and governors say they don't care what the cause is, they jus want solutions.
WE ARE TELLING YOU THE CAUSE AND SOLUTIONS. YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THE CAUSE.

People with genetic disorders get so screwed over by pre-existing condition clauses. My family got burned by those when I was growing up, and I'm terrified of the same thing happening now to me and N.

I was called an unhinged Democrat and a miserable person. So you could say I’m winning so far today.
Oh, and that I’m a terrible mother because I swear.

I got the news on Friday when we were picking up the kids and I started crying. I haven’t been able to come in here because I just wasn’t ready. I’m so sad and scared of the fucking hypocrisy that is going to be pushed by the Rs. I’ve been rage shopping and donating this weekend.

It feels a lot like the "commie" label in pre-McCarthyism and early McCarthyism.

On a lighter note the Biden campaign added some colder weather apparel to their store. I'm going to order a long sleeve shirt.
The amount of money donated since Friday gives me hope. I am hopeful it's a sign of big things to happen. I hope that we can honor RBG by using her passing as a way to start a movement. We went to see my parents this weekend in a different part of SC and I was pleasantly surprised at how many Jaime Harrison signs I saw. Our HOA doesn't allow yard signs they can't stop me from putting one in the window of my house!
