May 8th-Professionalism and Class Under Fire

Today's moment of zen is dedicated to former acting attorney general Sally Yates.  This women was twitter attacked by 45, and then grilled by Cruz and his Republican cronies under oath and...SHE. WAS. AMAZING.  She proved today who is a partisan hack and who is a consummate professional career justice department attorney.

May 6th-7th-The Days After

Yesterday and Today's moment of zen is dedicated to healthcare.  As much as Republicans and 45's cronies try to cover the stench of this horrible bill with roses they trampled in their Rose Garden victory lap, everyone (and by everyone, I am including the AARP, AHA, AMA, and about 47 other groups) knows it's a terrible piece of legislation.

April 5th-Revenge of the Pre-Existing Condition

Today's moment of zen is dedicated to pre-existing conditions.  I personally have some listed on the Macarthur Amendment.  Thanks to the Republicans, I might have to worry that my family and I may face skyrocketing premiums when we change health insurance. Republicans would rather just chug a beer and take a victory lap around the rose garden than actually take the time and energy to fix what is wrong with healthcare in this country.

April 4th-The Birds and the Bullsh*t

Today's moment of zen is dedicated to family planning.   45 just appointed a person who doesn't believe in contraception to the HHS position in charge of contraception.  The most effective way to reduce abortion and unwanted pregnancies is education about how to prevent pregnancies AND access to birth control.  It just leaves me speechless.

May 3rd-If It's Not Good Enough For Congress, It's Not Good Enough for Us

Today's moment of zen is dedicated to we the people.  Congress is about to vote on healthcare legislation that: A. They and their staff are exempt from AND B. Has no CBO score so no one knows how many people it helps or hurts or how much it costs.  This is not the way you Govern. Congress is not above the law, they work for us.  We must all vote in 2018.

May 2nd-Wheeling and (Not) Dealing

Today's moment of zen is dedicated to good government deal making of which 45 knows nothing. His a bully and a whiner who can't make a deal to save his life in Washington so his next play is to try and consolidate power and change the rules.  What a loser.

May 1st-Let's Make Trump take the U.S. Citizenship Test

Today's moment of zen is dedicated to history.  It is actually made up of a lot of facts you can't just bend to your will, like saying Andrew Jackson wanted to stop the civil when he died 16 years before it started.  Or saying no one asks why we had a civil war when that is an actual question on the US citizenship test.
