…another op-ed I read this morning that I thought was worth sharing:
A large number of Trump supporters make their way up Constitution Avenue en route to the U.S. Capitol after President Donald Trump gave a speech at the Ellipse and encouraged them to march on Jan. 6, 2021. (Michael S. Williamson/The Washington Post)
“…everything about what unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021, implicates the cultural leader of the Republican Party — and because pretending that a mystery exists benefits him — we approach the third anniversary of that day with renewed efforts to rewrite its history.
“What Trump is doing now, 340-odd days before the 2024 general election, is amplifying self-serving falsehoods and finding a hungry audience for them. This is also precisely what he was doing in the weeks before the Capitol riot.”
Nice little op-ed that caught my attention this morning…

“And while the Obamacare brand might have been unpopular, most of Obamacare’s actual provisions were well-liked. Nearly every major plank of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) — such as guaranteeing coverage to people with preexisting conditions, expanding Medicaid, and allowing children to stay on their parents’ insurance plans for longer — was and continues to be favored by the public.”
