Here we go again with attempts to control women's health choices. This time it's Georgia where the legislature is taking up HB 481 which outlaws abortions once a doctor detects a heartbeat in the womb — usually 6 weeks into pregnancy & before most women know they are pregnant.
This is effectively a state-wide abortion ban, and they know it would be unpopular so they are rushing it through. Maybe they won't respond to the idea that this is cruel and discriminatory, but also that #HB481isBadForBusiness.

Georgia is home to a lot of film work, for now.
If you’re a #Georgia resident pls call
Gov. Kemp 404-656-1776
Speaker Ralston 404-656-5020
Metro ATL Chamber (404)880-9000
Urge them to stop this terrifying bill.

As an early, loud ambassador I too thought there‘d be a physical US base & was confused & disappointed to discover otherwise. This message is a good acknowledgment of error. I’ll stay a member to see how the founding principles are applied cause I still want/believe in the model
But if anyone joined b/c of me AND a belief this org would operate a physical US office and feels duped or disappointed by that absence, i understand and offer my own apology. Request a refund from The Correspondent which they promise to process “right away” and lmk if they don’t
I myself joined as member, ambassador, and part-time paid “campaign strategist” largely because a) I believe we need new organizing models for media and b) the stellar person that is @zainabshah. Working with her on the crowdfunding campaign was a joy

This could take hours, days, or maybe I won't ever make it to the end, but this begins my final PDF breakdown of Robert Mueller's work on behalf of our U.S. democracy. 448 pages. starting with the cover. Volume 1 of 2?? They already promising sequels? How George RR Martin-esque!
page 2 is blank. reminding me of my childhood book reports I wanted to make so nice and beautifully formatted. I remember trying to get those plastic bindings to loop through and mostly i just went with a binder clip. I wonder if Mueller used the plastic loopies.
the table of contents is five pages. for those who've seen me do this before i continue to be impressed with the organizational structure of these legal documents! Roman numerals. Indenting. Clarity matters when outlining foreign attacks. Wish I could change to a sans font tho

It's friday and Robert Mueller has dropped indicted Roger Stone which means another PDF which means it's time for me to walk through this document amateur legal style... I'm so excited. My PDF reader has never gotten so much use as when American democracy is being undermined
Like all good stories, this one opens with an introduction to major events and characters in the drama, reminding us that the DNC and DCCC were hacked and made this known in June 2016. Shortly after, Organization 1 aka Wikileaks starts releasing waves of stolen goods
So we got the hacked documents and the release thereof. Mueller is like, "yall remember that right?" And we do. Then we get a character intro to Roger Stone with the key highlight being he WAS CONTACED BY Trump campaign about Wikileaks and claimed to be in touch with them

Here we go again. Senate gets its first crack at bill to eliminate #surprisemedicalbills in Colorado. Lots of docs here again.

This is the same bill that sailed through House. HB1174.

#9news
More amendments for this one. (Lots of special interests getting their opinions heard on this one)

(Would have to go back to House if amendments approved)
@COHealthAccess heavily involved in pushing this forward.

Bottom line. Whatever happens to language of bill, patients would not receive these surprise bills from out of network providers they never chose.

“It’s time to stop sending these patients to collections” says CCHI

Here we go again. Sowing division among the races. This is all they have left.

They want us DIVIDED.
DIVIDED by race.
TOGETHER we are STRONG.
DIVIDED we are WEAK.
Make no mistake, THIS is what HRC truely believes. Her latest attempts to label MAGA supporters as White Nationalists, is projection at it's finest.
HRC associating MAGA supporters with White Nationalists today, while her friend and mentor Robert Byrd was an actual White Nationalist and KKK member?

PROJECTION.

Again, this is why our work was so essential in taking the House in 2018.
In 2020, we must take back control of the Senate (and we can)!

"The panel, which has jurisdiction over impeachment, also voted to subpoena five former White House officials they believe may have received documents relevant to the special counsel’s probe."
Donald McGahn, Steve Bannon Hope Hicks and Reince Priebus and McGahn's former deputy Ann Donaldson - the 5 were among the 81 that Nadler issued requests to a few weeks ago. Now they have been subpoenaed.

Barr did not meet the House Democrats deadline of today to deliver the Mueller report

But Democrats DO NOT PLAN TO SUBPOENA the report right away

Instead they will give Barr "at least a few days to hustle the report to Capitol Hill."

washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Democrats are displaying the same reluctance to use their legal authority to obtain Trump's taxes.

I don't understand it.

They were put in power to hold the Trump administration accountable. But somehow they think it's politically savvy to not exercise their power

Here we go! And maybe Groupon too?!?
“Fifty women who describe themselves as survivors of sex trafficking on the now-defunct Backpage.com web portal accuse Salesforce.com Inc. of profiting off each ad.” bloomberg.com/amp/news/artic…
“Salesforce knew the scourge of sex trafficking because it sought publicity for trying to stop it," according to the complaint. “But at the same time, this publicly traded company was, in actuality, among the vilest of rogue companies, concerned only with their bottom line."

Here we go again! Make it stop! Republicans should all lock rank behind #BrettKavanaugh and confirm him. So tired of the antics of the Democrats, Never Trumpers and MSM. What about #KeithEllison? Stop being selective in who you dish the dirt on. Foot! #ChristineBlaseyFord
#ChristineBlaseyFord is the white version of the '91 version of #AnitaHill. They both claim to be harmed many years after an alleged incident happened. They also claim they want to be anonymous yet always manage to step into the spotlight and find a voice. #VoteRedToSaveAmerica
Why are these people able to get away with destroying the lives of others simply because they are miserable? Anita wasn't a good woman then and she isn't now. I always felt she actively participated in whatever it is she accused Justice Thomas of. This charade must not continue!
