If the SC overturns the ACA. Dems must convene to draft a new ACA, addressing the glitches that allowed them to overturn the individual mandate. They need to include clear and precise legislative intent language so the Justices cannot infer an intent that was clearly never there
It should be ready to go on their first day. Introduce it at Noon on January 3rd. Yes, I know it's a Sunday. The GOP worked on Sunday to dismantle democracy, we can work on Sunday to restore it. The Senate should pass it quickly, sending it to the President's desk at 1 pm on 1/20
Signing it could be among the first acts of Biden's administration, but that's not all. They should also pass a new Voting Rights Act that mandates no more than 60 minutes wait time to vote, restores felon voting rights nationally, see Hillary's bills...
They should pass a Reproductive Justice Act that prohibits any undue burden on women's access to an abortion and define undue burden as traveling more than 500 miles, requiring two doctor visits, unnecessary ultrasounds, etc. but beyond abortion rights, also require insurance to
cover IVF and contraception - craft the language disallowing employers from denying coverage to employees based on religion. They can allow individuals to waive coverage, but not companies. Include well-baby care, infertility treatment.
and the health care for the mom during pregnancy...reproductive justice is more than not having babies you don't want. It is having babies when you do want them.
There needs to be a comprehensive LGBTIQA rights bill that makes gay marriage a legal right nationally. No state can infringe on the rights of people to marry. It must ban employment, housing, & adoption discrimination. Make it expansive enough to choke a bigot.
Recognize that the Equal Rights Amendment has been ratified.

If the SC gets salty, take away its jurisdiction. We don't need to expand the Court to shut this shit down.
Set retroactive term limits of 18 years on the Justices. That knocks out Thomas and Breyer and gives Biden two seats - still a 5-4 conservative majority, but here's the thing. 18 year terms makes replacement predictable and will end this kind of bullshit.
Also, during their first week, the House and Senate must pass the CARES Act and let signing it be the first act Biden takes.

But they don't need 100 days. They have had two years to draft & pass what we need. Pass it again, McConnell will have lost his desk.
And of course, this is all dependent on McConnell losing his desk. And he must. The GOP must lose by enough McConnell resigns out of self-pity. Shame he is not capable of.

I think one thing we must never forget. The media will never ever ever be on our side. They will only be as liberal as the billionaires and multinationals that own them. I think the best example of the craven media is Travelgate - a long-forgotten Clinton "scandal."
The White House travel office was sloppily managed. The director wrote checks to cash. He deposited media payments for travel on AF1 into his own bank account. He commingled personal and travel office money. There was a report from FBI.
So they were fired. The media went on a feeding frenzy defending the man who commingled money. OF course, they did. He was slopping about requiring them to pay for their travel on AFI, so they sometimes got reimbursed by their company & didn't pay travel office. Nice deal

In 2010, the single player or die folks encouraged people to boycott the Democrats in the election. A by selection, no big deal. Ed Schultz on MSNBC rides that hobby horse with nodding support from BS, MM, and the rest of the stupid left.
The GOP took the House, Senate, and state houses across the country. The stupid left loved to remind us that Dems lost over 1000 seats across the country. They claimed credit for that, even in 2016. But that was a decent url election, determining redistricting.
We've paid the cost for a decade. Part of that cost is three seats on the Supreme Court. Never listen to someone telling you to give up your only power in a democracy - your vote. They are either stupid, evil, or both

I always think that when a politician's outreach to Black voters is focused on criminal justice alone, the politician is racist. What is more racist than assuming Black voters only care about crime and incarceration and not about schools, child care, and the environment?
Such politicians see Blackness as a pathology of crime and poverty. It's why I had such contempt for Bernie for attacking Hillary on the Crime Bill (which he voted for) and for the attacks on Kamala for being a prosecutor. Trump's lies about Biden & super-predator are the same.
And let's not dismiss the contradiction of a man who still insists the Central Park Five are guilty and demanded their execution, a man who won't denounce police murders of unarmed Black men and women, trying to make political hay out of the Crime Bill.

Walter Mosley in 'An Awkward Series of Conversations,' a short story in "The Awkward Black Man."
“You called me African-American, and I don’t answer to that description. People who come from another country to this one use the hyphenate name.
You know, Italians who came over a generation or two back calling themselves Italian-Americans. Maybe they kept up contact with home or followed cultural norms that are particularly Italian.
But a man like me, a man whose ancestors were kidnapped, chained, and dragged over here centuries ago is not, cannot be, a hyphenate. At least not the kind of hyphenate that you say. You might call me an Abductee-American, an originally Unwilling-American.

The red death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the madness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution.
The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress, and termination of the disease, were incidents of half an hour.
But Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court,
