NRA Now Pro Violence Against Women

The National Rifle Association is preparing to punish lawmakers for voting to protect women from their stalkers and domestic abusers.
If it isn't already, the NRA should now be more toxic than a half pound of ham, wrapped in an ebola monkey's diaper & left in a car trunk for the month of July. In a sane world, any Delaware elected official that still takes the blood money and remains beholden to the NRA should be instantly unelectable. And that goes double for Democrats in safe D districts like Johnson and Bennett.

Dems Face Uphill Slog To Win Senate In 2020 – But Don’t Worry, They’ll Make a Tough Situation Worse

History tells us that a strong progressive platform, based on policies that are proven to be widely popular throughout the country, will help Schumer recruit competitive Senate candidates. History, also tells us that Dems will ignore that reality, and sabotage their chances of taking the Senate by adopting a platform based on watering down popular progressive policies until they are 99% water.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Teresa Tomlinson is a former mayor of a mid-sized city with no national profile. Yet she hopes she’ll be national Democrats’ top recruit to run for the Senate from Georgia next year — if one of the party’s rising stars, Stacey Abrams, takes a pass. “I feel comfortable I’ll be their Plan B,” says Tomlinson, 54, the first female mayor of Columbus, a minority-majority community and one of Georgia’s largest cities. Nineteen months from Election Day, a political eternity during which plenty can change, Democrats are looking at Plan B in Senate races around the country. Even in a campaign cycle that looks far more promising than last year’s, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., who heads the party’s Senate campaign arm, have struggled to recruit candidates who are battle-tested statewide.

Lisa Blunt Rochester Sent a Letter

Your rep in Congress would like you to know that she sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. What she did with the other 97% of her workday remains shrouded in mystery.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE-AL) led all Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats in sending a letter to U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Alex Azar and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Seema Verma. The letter calls for HHS and CMS to make public any and all documents, including results of studies, briefing presentations, and data sets, including econometric models and individual-level experiments, regarding the effectiveness of marketing and outreach efforts for the Affordable Care Act. “If we are to stabilize the Affordable Care Act, we need to take a 360-degree approach that revisits the cost of prescription drugs, how we incentivize new states to establish state-based markets, and how we attract younger, healthy people to sign up and get covered,” said Congresswoman Blunt Rochester.
