It appears HealthCare.gov is working, which will surely get as much coverage as last year, when it did not.

Dan Diamond (@ddiamond) November 15, 2025Crazy idea. Instead of trying to take insurance from the 10 million who've gained it, we try to cover the tens of millions who need it.

Hi Bobfr - how is Seattle today?
Nice weather actually, albeit very cold.
Sorry I’m also in Seattle. :)
Bob and Judith are today’s terrible twins!
Thanks a trazillion Nerdy, fantastic tweets!
HA HA! Happy to be in such esteemed company as Bobfr!
Thanks, Chiparoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooney!
Congrats on first Bobfr! Great tweets NW!
Gorgeous day, Judith.
Thank you Betsy :)
Updates via RTs in the sidebar …
Thanks, Bob.
Hope you are too. :)
Morning. lovely people!
1st!
My mission tomorrow will be to tweet every Democratic Senator including Mary Landrieu to urge a NO vote on Keystone in the far great interest of supporting the President in his climate change mitigation.
Well, I’m being consistent today - rolling in minutes after a new thread starts!
Hello, Ms NerdyW! Here’s hoping you are having a good Sunday, recovering from your jaunt to the Asia-Pacific! ;) Gracias for sharing your discoveries with us.
Thanks, VC.
That top tweet just makes me cry, because it’s so true.
Best wishes to all for a good sunday~
// After being honored at the White House for his lifetime achievements in the performing arts and outstanding contributions to American culture, Merle Haggard is forming an opinion about President Barack Obama based on character, not political agenda. The 73-year-old country legend, who has actually visited the White House as a guest of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan in years past, made an appearance in Washington D.C. for the 33rd Annual Kennedy Center Honors. While there, he mingled with the President, the President’s wife and several other notable honorees.
“It was also nice to meet Obama and find him very different from the media makeout. It’s really almost criminal what they [the media] do with our President,” Haggard tells Rolling Stone. //

I think I will tweet this to MSM who post any snarky crap about PBO
“It was also nice to meet Obama and find him very different from the media makeout” Merle Haggard to Rolling Stone Mag.
thanks hf :)
I shared this part of his comment last night because it also is so true.
We all know that Vlad fled because he couldn’t take the rightfully harsh criticism & deserved pariah status at G20. I’m only posting this particular tweet because France’s Ambassador to the US, Gerard Araud RT’d it :)
There’s an old saying that comes to mind: Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Happy Sunday, Bob!
So true!
Happy Sunday to you, Jacqueline.
Or… If you can’t take the heat stay out of the kitchen.
Little Vlad’s misogynistic attacks on Ukrainian women ….
… no wonder Republicans admire the shrimp …
This is what they want here…they NEVER think of the consequences of their actions….

El Salvador’s Total Abortion Ban Is Driving Pregnant Teens To Commit Suicide
df if abortion ever became totally illegal in USA and girls started committing suicide because of it….I think a lot of fathers might start gunning down the boys or men that got them pregnant. Then the when enough white or GOP sons are gunned down, abortion will become legal again.
Not for the first time and not for the last:
THANK YOU,NERDY for tweets that provide more news that matters per keystroke than all the usual media combined.
Thanks, Vicki.
Smartypants says:
I am reminded once again of something Derrick Jensen wrote in his book The Culture of Make Believe.
From the perspective of those who are entitled, the problems begin when those they despise do not go along with—and have the power and wherewithal to not go along with—the perceived entitlement…
Several times I have commented that hatred felt long and deeply enough no longer feels like hatred, but more like tradition, economics, religion, what have you. It is when those traditions are challenged, when the entitlement is threatened, when the masks of religion, economics, and so on are pulled away that hate transforms from its more seemingly sophisticated, “normal,” chronic state—where those exploited are looked down upon, or despised—to a more acute and obvious manifestation. Hate becomes more perceptible when it is no longer normalized.
Another way to say all of this is that if the rhetoric of superiority works to maintain the entitlement, hatred and direct physical force remains underground. But when that rhetoric begins to fail, force and hatred waits in the wings, ready to explode.
****************************
We are seeing this play out in Ferguson…
Not only in Ferguson, but the theory also applies to Corporate Welfare entitlement with support from the GOP, many Dems and the corporate owned media that is being exposed by this administration and President. I am thinking that plays the biggest part in the smears, lies and opposition by feeding racism, and fear of changes through the corporate owned propaganda machine to the public.
HELLO AND KNOCK-KNOCK…THIS IS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY…INDIANA IS SWARMING WITH CONFEDERATE FLAGS AND ROTTEN MILITIA…THEY HATE PBO WITH A PASSION…I HOPE TO BE IN A POSITION TO LEAVE HERE NEXT YEAR AND IF I GET OUT..I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK!,,,UGLY PLACE FILLED WITH MEAN PEOPLE!
This is a brilliant analysis by SmartyPants that I wish every Democrat were forced to read. So many people have their heads in the sand and don’t have the slightest idea what’s at stake in our democracy. They refuse wake up and so run the risk of remaining asleep until its too late to fight back.
hell Jackie…I can never say that its too late….but if we do not take our democracy in hand there will be a lot more suffering…
Wilson, IMO, is another bully that police training legitimized.
Greetings TOD Family
Yesterday our OFA team held a tabling event at a Hispanic market in Santa Rosa. We have lots of folks come up and ask for flyers. Thank goodness for our Spanish speaking volunteer Ruth. It was great to see that folks are still interested in getting information. OFA is doing lots of good work to get the word out about the ACA. Find an event in your area and sign up.
https://my.barackobama.com/page/event/search_simple?source=events-redirect
If there is nothing in your area, let us know - ask the OFA folks here how you can start your own group. It just takes 2 people to do a tabling event.
Hello there, Linda! You are still hard at work, I see. Thank you.
You must have heard me mentioning your name here earlier today! [While growing up my grandmother used to say 'If your ear is ringing, someone is talking about you.' Not very scientific, but no one in my family is a 'scientist'. :grin: ]
Hi VC
Always such a treat when I am mentioned here. Hope to have more time to post here after the semester is over and I am not working.
I’m only now noticing that you responded to me. :grin: It IS always a treat, and a great encouragement, to hear what you and your group have been up to. I mentioned you because after NoSpin shared some of the letter she wrote, we were discussing people writing letters/emails to Wasserman-Schultz, DSCC, @TheDemocrats, etc to share specific criticisms of their approach. Remembered how you encouraged in the past to share our letters here to help get the ball going, or to give ideas.
So proud of you, Linda, and grateful for all you do!!
WIW - proud of you!!
from the article…
Come January, the GOP majorities will be much bigger - 30-20 in the Senate and 119-84 in the House - after a banner legislative election for Republicans. And conservatives say their ranks will be bigger, big enough to pass the key bills over the opposition of Democrats and Republican holdouts.
There are still raw feelings among numerous conservatives over Republicans’ failure under Corbett to advance major legislation to scale back public pension benefits, privatize the sale of liquor and wine or limit the ability of labor unions to collect member dues or political action committee contributions….

**************************
I wonder who are the GOP moderates…
Another case of voters giving a Democrat the top spot but not giving him the ‘resources’ to be effective. Sigh.
In this case, Gerrymandering is the culprit. The districts are heavily favorable to the GOPers in both Fed and Local distributions.
This is enraging, Pf. Voters in PA crippled Wolf with a legislature that will block everything he tries to do and then they will blame him for inaction four years from now.
Wolf emulated a lot of what PBO did during his run for office…I hope that he continues to do that…
interesting is that the article talks about the moderate GOP who did not go along with the radical agenda of Corbett…I wonder how this will play out….
The radical GOP will try their hand at voter id again…stripping unions of collective bargaining and collecting dues…and the Philadelphia schools are still in peril….I wonder what plans the PA State Dem Committee has in the works…and whether they will include mobilizing “We The People”
Thanks for this.
Oops! Chow preparation time - BRB
Da Bears finally win at home!
Betcha it was that Koala with PBO that was their lucky charm!! :-)
Whatevah! I’ll take the win. :)
:-) From this day forth, I shall know them as the Chicago Koala Bears.
Please don’t come to Chicago with that. :(
Thanks, Chips, I appreciate being able to view what the President said firsthand!
Yes, thanks. Just finished listening to his press conference. WH jackals-idiots or idijits. Did I spell that correctly, amk? Miss you!
A pleasure OG!
Thank you for this, Chips. Couldn’t get the press conference through any other access. Nothing seems to be working today.
My pleasure Jackie, it took ages for it to appear on YouTube, grrrrr.
Congrats to Doc Bobfr and Judith Fardig on your Double entrances
Au :star: :star: Yes!
Thanks, Nena!
I have not been watching US Football today……however, I just saw a tweet that referenced 5 Interceptions thrown by EManning? They pay this fool Millions and his inconsistent QB performance is unforgivable. I am not a NY Giant fan. I just can’t understand this level of a mental meltdown.
So Abbott was sent to the corner on the Issue of Climate Change.

Lots of suspense these days, isn’t there?
When will the St. Louis Grand Jury finding be announced?
When will PBO’s EO on Immigration be revealed?
What will happen on or before Nov. 24th with US/Iran nuclear deal?
Grand jury finding tomorrow, Monday.
