We are grateful that we dodged the "administrative coup" bullet in 2020 but only if Democrats get out in droves and vote for Democrats this November. After all, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate was endorsed by President Trump and is a purveyor of snake oil and the Republican candidate for governor is a Jan. 6th "stop the steal," alternate slate of electors advocate who tried to toss out

Ukraine we're on your side. We think we Americans must show a united front against Putin no matter who we think is to blame. Let's try to undermine Putin's agenda by talking up the benefits of living in a liberal society like ours. (Though it's sagging a bit.)

Misc Thoughts on Gas Prices, Billionaires,...

Reality Check Chat ·

2022/03/22

Judy, Barbara and Liz each take a topic: "Gas prices are not Biden's fault and he can't fix them; Polarization is not Biden's fault and although we don't discuss this, he can't fix this either, it's us versus them and they must win; and a pipe dream regarding "billionaires," let's reduce them to "billionaire." And, finally for Ukraine, we do not have high hopes."https://www.realitycheckchat.com

BIF Part 2

Reality Check Chat ·

2021/11/15

The Republicans are winning the media messaging. We want to send a winning message with the BIF (Infrastructure) Bill. CRT vs. BIF. BIF is For the People. CRT is a dog whistle. Road and bridge repair across the country, drinking water infrastructure, broadband for all including our rural county of Susquehanna in Pennsylvania.
