In fact, she is not only working but "leading"

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE-AL), issued the following statement after voting to pass H.R. 1994, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act of 2019. The SECURE Act would make significant reforms to help ensure Americans obtain a financially sound retirement. The bill includes the Increasing Access to a Secure Retirement Act, a key provision led by Reps. Blunt Rochester and Tim Walberg that will make it easier for small businesses to offer annuities as part of an employee’s retirement benefits package. Rep. Blunt Rochester is also co-sponsor of the Secure Act, which passed with broad bipartisan support in a 417-3 vote.

Good to know.

The VP spot should go to the person who comes in 2nd. That campaign has all the juice and enthusiastic supporters, keep them working, right? But nobody listens to me. So who do you like for the VP spot? I like Mayor Pete, Senator Harris, Senator Warren and Joe Biden could actually make a good VP. I guess if I had to pick one from them, I think Mayor Pete has the go for the jugular instinct a VP needs.

I just re-read the letter Eisenhower prepared in case D-Day failed. He takes full responsibility. Eisenhower was a man in full. He was a member of a generation that saved the world from fascism. The children of that generation thanked their parents by declaring war on the future. Climate chaos, global oligarchies, student debt bubbles, unaffordable housing, deindustrialization, elimination of worker protections and defined-benefits pensions, deconstruction of public services, etc. Fuck it. If it feels good - do it.

Ed Note: I think Highlands Bunker is at its best when REV sits down with other like-minded activists and knits the whole fucking thing together. I haven't listened to this yet, but I think this is going to be one of those.

Listen Here > Highlands Bunker - E16 - They're Our Neighbors Activists Stephanie Herron and Maria Beauchamp join RE Vanella in the bunker to talk about Puerto Rico, Southbridge, the plastic bag ban, and how we all have the responsibility to take both personal and collective action to change the world.

There's no point in impeaching Trump because he'll be exonerated by the Senate, and then he can claim vindication. He will claim vindication if you fail to impeach him, too.…
