Cuts to Medical Research: The Chickenshit Enablers in TN’s Congressional Delegation

Investigative reporter, Phil Williams, reported yesterday on his question about NIH cuts that he put to each member of Tennessee’s Congressional delegation: 

Williams’ question to 11 federal legislators was this: Do you support announced cuts in Tennessee for life-saving medical research?

Of the two U.S. Senators and nine U. S. Representatives, all are Republican except for Rep. Steve Cohen. Some dodged the question entirely, some provided non-answers to the question, and only one offered a straight answer to the question.  Spoiler alert: it was not a Republican.

Protests from Miami to Seattle, Bangor to San Jose

Here’s just a few:

Join the TN TESLA TAKEDOWN Saturday, February 15

Subject: Can you come?

Friends,

I'm attending an event called TN TESLA TAKEDOWN.

A protest event as part of the National Mobilization on February 15 against Elon Musk, who has bought his way into the White House to create havoc, cause pain, destroy America’s institutions, and to steal as much valuable data as he can to make himself even richer. Please come to peaceably assemble in public space and display your own creative signage and to let customers and passersby know that they should consider another EV besides Tesla.

Can you join me? Click below for details and to RSVP:

Thanks!

PS  In a time when many of us are feeling scared and helpless, here is something you can do to personally resist and to aid the resistance movement that is growing by leaps and bounds.

NYTimes Finally Reports Consumers Will Pay the Costs of Tariffs

 The Times finally reports what Lawrence O’Donnell has been telling us for years:

New Feature: Tesla Reviews 1

From China to Norway to Germany to the U.S., Tesla sales have cratered since Elon Musk became the front man for President Felon’s ongoing attempted coup.  

Thinking Tesla dealerships would make good places to stage protests against the current government dismantling, I started looking around in Nashville for Tesla dealers.  I found the first dealer in near Nashville in Franklin at 122 Market Exchange Ct Franklin, TN 37067.

Aside from Elon Musk’s commitment to steal valuable data from American taxpayers that will benefit his businesses, it seems there are other reasons to not buy a Tesla. Some reviewers are clearly unhappy with the product and the service.  Here are just 3 Yelp reviews left for the Franklin Tesla dealership:

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Elmo’s new Cybertruck is as unsafe as the old Ford Pinto.

Resistance: Use It Or Lose It, Pt. 2

 Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country.  In fact, it’s now or never!!!

Americans are scared about what’s happening right now—because This. Is. Not. Normal. But where are my Republican colleagues? In closed-door meetings dismantling vital programs? We are fighting back! We are taking it to the courts, taking it to Congress, and taking it to the streets!
