This is precisely what @JoeBiden has in mind...and it's just as well, since there's zero chance of anything close to M4All happening in the near future without much larger margins in the House *and* Senate anyway.
Here, again, is what #BidenCare would look like based on the plan he campaigned on (any actual healthcare reform bill would no doubt look somewhat different by the time it actually passed/was signed into law):
acasignups.net/20/07/23/biden…
Here's a table showing how much a 40-year old couple w/2 kids would pay (on avg.) in both premiums & deductibles under #BidenCare compared to the current ACA subsidy structure at different income levels.

Depending on their income, they'd save up to $14,000/year.
Here's what it would look like for a 60-year old couple. Again, depending on their income, on average they'd save at least $820/year and as much as an astonishing $23,000/year on premiums + deductibles combined.
Even a Young Invincible type (single 30-yr old, no kids) would save up to $4,400/year.
Of course, all of this assumes the #ACA survives *at all*, which could ALSO be decided by today's Georgia Senate runoff election.

Vote for Jon Ossoff & Raphael Warnock.

Note: As I note at the link, there's a LOT more to #BidenCare as well, but the subsidy upgrades are the easiest/most obvious improvement to explain in a pinch. Read the whole piece for the rest: acasignups.net/20/07/23/biden…

Good for @SenSchumer: "They weren't protesters. They were violent thugs, they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law with NO leniency."
Schumer tears Trump apart for inspiring, inciting and egging on the mob of thugs.
I'm not usually much of a Schumer fan but this is pretty solid.

Every decent American IS disgusted by it. Unfortunately, Republicans are no longer decent Americans.
“Not all Republicans!”

Nope. Not anymore. Don Jr. said it clearly this morning TO THE VERY MOB THAT DID THIS: The GOP’s ass belongs to Trump now.

If you’re a decent American who has called yourself a Republican until now, it’s time to leave the party. There’s no saving it now.
I'm not saying it's time to become a Democrat. I'm saying it's time for you to form a new party. Call it the Lincoln Party or whatever. Does that mean wandering in the political desert a few cycles? Perhaps, but you'll be back at some point, without the stench of Trumpism on you.

Annnnd there you have it.
I would've preferred Sally Yates and have no idea how assertive Garland will be, but this solves a problem for Biden: He promised to place a black woman on the Supreme Court, but snubbing Garland for SCOTUS after what happened in 2016 would be...awkward.
This way he neatly resolves the bad taste in everyone's mouth re. Garland getting shit on by McConnell without breaking his promise re. SCOTUS.

The GA results also presumably mean Biden will be able to fill Garland's current judicial seat, so there's no risk there.
Also: There's not even the slightest conflict of interest re. prosecuting Trump/etc because Trump had nothing to do with McConnell fucking over Garland.

Hell, Garland actually sided with Trump's position on a major case just last week:

Note: I raised $2,000 for her because she still would’ve been better than John Carter, but holy crap. Image
Speaking of which, considering she managed to lose her own race by 3x the margin @mjhegar did in 2018, perhaps @donnaimamTX isn’t the best person to talk about what a winning campaign strategy looks like. ImageImage

🚨 DEAR DEMOCRATS: Mazel Tov, you did it!

Next Step: #SaveTheACA. #MootTheSuit!

acasignups.net/21/01/06/dear-…
The @HouseDemocrats, @SenateDems, @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris can #MootTheSuit and #SaveTheACA by passing any one of the following 3 simple, 1-paragraph bills:

1. ⬆️ the mandate penalty above $0
2. Clarify that the mandate can be ✂️
3. ❌ the mandate language itself
In the House, any could be done easily.

In the Senate, the 1st could be done via budget reconciliation; the 2nd or 3rd would need 50 votes+VP w/no filibuster *or* 60 with it.

It could be easily tacked onto a larger bill...but that bill would have to be passed & signed QUICKLY.

Apropos of nothing, but there's 10% more #COVID19 cases per capita in the counties won by Trump in Georgia and 25% more COVID deaths per capita. #JustSaying
Specifically:
Trump Counties:
Pop: 5,587,291
Cases: 366,199 (65.5/1K)
Deaths: 6,074 (10.9/10K)

Biden Counties:
Pop: 4,861,835
Cases: 289,083 (59.5/1K)
Deaths: 4,229 (8.7/10K)

Swing Counties (won by less than 6%):
Pop: 168,297
Cases: 11,250 (66.9/1K)
Deaths: 314 (18.7/10K)
Here's the 20 Georgia counties with the highest #COVID19 mortality rate as of yesterday. Trump received 66% more votes than Biden collectively in these 20 counties (84,685 vs. 50,913).

Make of that what you will. Image
