Biden approved new drilling on federal lands in Alaska after promising he wouldn't The Biden administration announced its formal approval of a sprawling oil drilling project in Alaska on Monday (March 13), despite campaign promises to ban any future drilling on federal lands. President Biden is also announced new restrictions on offshore oil drilling in Alaska’s North Slope region and across the…Read more... https://qz.com/biden-oil-alaska-drilling-willow-conocophillips-1850221110

💭 #talkingtomyself • When we set a goal, and go after it with a willingness to fail, we will gain enormous wisdom, experience, understanding, and self-knowledge. These are the strategic byproducts that are often more valuable than the attainment of the initial vision. We don’t want to fail on purpose in order to escape discomfort. That’s an escape fail, and doesn’t provide us with much value. Escape failure is actually failing ahead of time, which really means avoiding the worthy failures that keep us evolving. If we limit ourselves to what we already do well, our world becomes small. When we open ourselves up to doing the impossible and failing regularly, our life becomes so much bigger. • #dansullivan #strategicbyproducts #goals #visions #life #create https://www.instagram.com/p/CTj_l32jc7i/?utm_medium=tumblr

'Who not how', simple yet profound. Great book but it drags on. The key concept is to never limit your potential based on what you can do (which is not a lot, and never nearly enough). Instead, outsource and leverage connections to drive meaningful change.

19 GOP senators are up for re-election in 2020. Here's where they stand on the impeachment inquiry

Should the House impeach President Trump, the Senate would be expected to vote on removing him from office, which would require the support of two-thirds of the Senate — 67 senators

Nominations Are Open - We are recruiting candidates to run as Progressives

We are now accepting nominations for the 2020 election cycle to continue the progressive movement. Who is the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is the next Progressive star in your state or district?

You’ve seen how rapidly the Progressives of today can change the world. Help us find a progressive candidate in your state. To learn more about the endorsement process, click here. When the Senate comes back into session this week, senators on both sides of the aisle facing reelection for 2020 will be watched closely for how they respond to President Trump's attempts to coax foreign leaders to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden and what they decide to do should Mr. Trump be impeached by the House. If the House impeaches him, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said he would have "no choice" but to take up impeachment proceedings in the Senate. In that case, the Senate would be expected to vote on whether to remove Mr. Trump from the presidency. Removal requires the support of two-thirds of the Senate — 67 senators. There are currently 53 Republican senators and 45 Democrats, plus two independents who caucus with Democrats. None of the GOP senators have supported impeachment proceedings, but many have stated their position on Mr. Trump's phone call with the Ukrainian president and his offhand request for China to open an investigation, as well as the launch of the impeachment inquiry by House Democrats.

WHY NOMINATE A CANDIDATE?

The American people must demand that Congress and the White House start protecting the interests of all Americans, not just wall street and the billionaires. START NOMINATING NOW CALLING ON CHINA TO INVESTIGATE BIDEN FAMILY IS INAPPROPRIATE Maine Senator Susan Collins told the Bangor Daily News, "I thought the president made a big mistake by asking China to get involved in investigating a political opponent," and added, "It's completely inappropriate." In early October, President Trump told reporters at the White House that "China should start an investigation into the Bidens because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine." The senator was unequivocal in her comments about Mr. Trump's remarks to reporters regarding China and the Bidens, but she was less critical of his comments in the summary of the phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to the summary, Mr. Trump discussed the Ukrainian prosecutor who had been investigating Burisma — Hunter Biden served on the board of the Ukrainian energy company. "There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that. So whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it...It sounds horrible to me." There has been no evidence presented that Biden or his son broke any laws. Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, who is less vulnerable in his reelection bid than Collins is and has more room to criticize the president, provided The Omaha World-Herald with a written statement saying, "If the Biden kid broke laws by selling his name to Beijing, that's a matter for American courts, not communist tyrants running torture camps." After reading the whistleblower report, Sasse told reporters, "Republicans ought not to be rushing to circle the wagons and say there's no 'there' there when there's obviously a lot that's very troubling there, and Democrats ought not be using words like 'impeach' before they knew anything about the actual substance." —Alan He South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham told Spartanburg, South Carolina CBS affiliate WSPA he had no problem with the president discussing investigating corruption with Ukraine, but he said it was mistake to ask China to investigate. He said, "I'm OK with what the president did. I don't think he did anything wrong talking to the Ukraine 'cause we give them money and aid. I think it was wrong to ask China to investigate. I don't trust China to be fair to anybody Trump, me, or you. So that was a mistake." GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FACTS ON UKRAINE Colorado Senator Cory Gardner, who is one of the Democrats' top targets next November, released a statement saying, "I joined my Senate colleagues in unanimously supporting the release of the whistleblower report, and I support the Senate Intelligence Committee's ongoing bipartisan review to gather all of the facts," adding that the impeachment inquiry would "sharply divide the country." In a gaggle with reporters in early October, he refused to answer whether or not it is appropriate to ask a foreign government to investigate a political rival in a domestic election. PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT ALONE SHOWS NO IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE Sen. John Cornyn from Texas, after reading the whistleblower report and the partial transcript of the call with the Ukrainian president, said, "I wouldn't certainly wouldn't have said it the way the president said it, but it certainly doesn't rise to the level of impeachment. It's not a high crime and misdemeanor and it's — it shows how desperate and how politically driven with this whole, whole thing is." — Alan He Arizona Sen. Martha McSally told Politico that the Democrats' impeachment inquiry puts them "on a path to re-elect the president, keep the Senate majority and possibly flip the House. It's a total distraction."  During the October recess, McSally attended an event with Vice President Mike Pence during which he was asked about the president's request to foreign countries to investigate corruption. Pence said, "I think the American people have a right to know if the vice president of the United States or his family profited from his position as Vice President during the last administration." McSally did not add to his response. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst told reporters after a town hall last week that based on the whistleblower complaint and partial transcript alone, she did not see enough there to condemn the president, but she said the Senate will work in a bipartisan way to get to the bottom of the facts related to Ukraine. She also said the whistleblower who came forward with the information should be protected. Senator Thom Tillis from North Carolina said in a statement after the release of the partial transcript of the Ukraine call that, "Nancy Pelosi should be embarrassed. The transcript debunks the Democrats' false claims against President Trump and demonstrates that their call to impeach him is a total farce. This is yet another pathetic attempt by Democrats to destroy President Trump with falsehoods to overturn the results of the 2016 election. It has not worked in the past, and it will not work now." Other Republicans up for reelection in redder states said impeachment goes too far. This group includes West Virginia Senator Shelley Moore Capito, Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, Montana Senator Steve Daines, Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde Smith, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, Georgia Senator David Perdue, South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds, Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan, and Idaho Senator Jim Risch. DEMOCRATS FROM BATTLEGROUNDS ON IMPEACHMENT In addition to the 19 Republican senators up for reelection, there are also four Democratic senators who are up for reelection in 2020 who mostly sound a little more cautious than some of their fellow Democrats on the subject of the impeachment inquiry. Here's what they've said on the subject: Alabama Senator Doug Jones said on the Senate floor before the fall recess that Democrats should be careful about impeachment. In his speech, he said, "Our duties to discharge that office are to be fair, to be impartial, to be deliberative, not political," Jones said. "Our duties to this office are to our constituents, to do the very best that we can in making sure that we analyze whatever is in front of us because history will judge us. They will determine whether or not we acted with courage and conviction or whether we just simply tested the political winds, as some people are already doing."  Minnesota Senator Tina Smith said in a statement that she supports impeachment proceedings. She said, "I support the House beginning impeachment proceedings, as a matter of national security, and protecting the rule of law and our Constitution. Amid reports that the President asked or even actively pressured Ukraine, a foreign government, to interfere in our country's democracy by undermining a political opponent, we must fully and fairly open a process to lay out all the facts." New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen did not go as far as to call for impeachment in her statement about the president's call with the Ukrainian president. She said, "I think it raises very serious concerns about what the President has done and about the potential for a cover-up and that's why we need the facts to come out and the American people need to see what happened," Shaheen said. "We need to hear from people who know what happened inside the White House." Michigan Senator Gary Peters similarly wants to gather the facts first, and did not raise impeachment as a solution.  In a statement, he said, "When you have the president, in his own words asking another foreign leader for help in an election, getting his assistance, a foreign government assisting him here in the United States, it is clearly wrong, but I think it is important to look at all of the facts and bring all of the facts together."

Where Did The Individual Mandate Come From For Obamacare? File this under Things You Won't Hear On FOX News

The individual mandate was a Republican creation. I already knew it was patterned after Mitt Romney's healthcare plan when he was Governor of Massachusetts from doing research in 2016. And I knew the Insurance companies that would be underwriting coverage demanded it in order for them to participate. But, I didn't know its roots went all the way back to 1989, proposed by the Heritage Foundation, a self described "conservative think tank" (R).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_insurance_mandate#United_States

Why The Obamacare Individual Mandate Exists-From 2017 https://www.self.com/story/obamacare-individual-mandate

The individual mandate was lauded by Republicans as "a free-market approach to health care reform." That was until it became associated with a "Democrat" plan, especially a black Democrat's plan. The Republicans, including the Heritage Foundation flip-flopped like Crappies on ice.

I get it that many people didn't want to be forced to buy insurance if they didn't want it. There are some though that were glad they did after getting into a car accident, or slipping on the ice and breaking something, or coming down with a serious illness. Without some type of insurance they would have had to pay out of pocket and some could have been wiped out financially.

I get it that originally President Obama made statements that you could choose your own plan or doctor. He did believe that himself and he has apologized for that not being the case on several occasions.

I get it that some people, especially small business owners and those on specific plans had to pay more than what they were expecting, and it was a burden. That could have been improved upon, but there was a block wall preventing that, called the GOP.

The old broken record gets dusted off and replayed pretty often. But those singing the same old skipping track fail to realize it was a "Republican" idea, and they fail to acknowledge that ever since the inception of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) the Republican Party and the right wing media blow hards have done everything they could to undermine and sabotage the ACA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordable_Care_Act

For a decade now they have chanted "repeal and replace" and have absolutely refused to participate in or offer any measures to improve it, joined by Trump. They have actively tried to destroy it and have caused so much disruption and damage that many of the insurance underwriters had pulled out, thus increasing the cost burden.

History and Timeline of the ACA by eHealth https://www.ehealthinsurance.com/resources/affordable-care-act/history-timeline-affordable-care-act-aca

The Republicans, who had controlled both the House and Senate during most of Obama's terms could have cooperated in bi-partisan efforts to build on and improve the ACA. It was merely a foundation. But, as in most cases the majority of the Republican politicians vowed not to support anything at all that Obama did, even if it was originally their idea. And when the Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and Executive branch, they still refused to improve it, only worked to destroy it. After all those years of chanting "repeal and replace", they never did have any replacement plan, just some bandaid plans they drafted at the last moment behind closed doors. One of them that Trump even called "cruel". Now Trump is deceiving the public with his latest ploy to curry votes. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trumps-health-care-sham-154334003.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=fb&tsrc=fb

Right now during the COVID-19 pandemic, many workers who were previously covered under an employer's health plan have lost their coverage and will now rely on the ACA to find healthcare for themselves and their families. *************

You don't hear any of that from the wind bags on FOX prime time or the right wing media and talk shows.

Now Trump is still actively trying to destroy the ACA which was considered by many Republicans as "unconstitutional" due to the mandate, which was their brain child, no longer having a penalty for no insurance after Trump and his Republican allies passed a bill in late 2017 to eliminate the penalty. That case is due to be heard by the Supreme Court soon. https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/healthcare/news/2020/06/24/486768/health-care-repeal-lawsuit-strip-coverage-23-million-americans/

Shelby (R-AL), #DanSullivan (R-AK), John Thune (R-SD), #ThomTillis (R-NC), Patrick J. Toomey (R-PA), Roger Wicker (R-MS), and Todd C. Young (R-IN) could have a leading roll in helping to eliminate healthcare for millions of people, especially women, by tipping the scale of justice to the extreme right with allowing Trump to deny Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dying wish to allow the next elected president to fill her position on the #SCOTUS. Many flip-flopping on their positions stated in 2016 when President Obama was denied even a hearing on his pick, Garland, to fill Justice Scalia's seat 9-10 months before an election. https://youtu.be/83GL2mnAqeU #NotoriusRBG
