I am impressed with Governor Newsom's plan to join with Washington and Oregon to start a Health Alliance. So guess what I did? I emailed Governor Hochul right away and suggested she do the same and call it the Eastern Allicance. I'm sure Illinois will join on.

Good idea. And maybe Texas, Florida, and the flyover states can form a "Thoughts and Prayers Health Care Alliance". So MUCH less expensive than what we have now and might even give their lords of the castles a bit more money. Make America Medieval Again. MAMA!

Can individuals from these states join CHOW? I happen to live in the sad state of Texas: which was great until Ann Richards left. I live surrounded by MAGAs and would relocate if I could afford it.

Leaders in Texas are primarily MAGAs, and they do not believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ (though they claim to be Christians). The last gerrymandering pretty much made it impossible for democrats to win. I have great respect for the state's elected democrats: but they are in the minority. :(

Trump is making an admission that he is a pedophile when he says signing the petition is a hostile act against him. It’s an admission that release of the Epstein files will hurt him in a big way. It will be his downfall. He’s saying, I’m guilty and if you expose me, I consider it a hostile act.

Releasing the files would harm him irreparably in two ways: (1) he would be exposed for the pedophile we know him to be; (2) some of his big-money donors will be exposed, and they won't be happy with Trump for allowing it to happen.

You make an excellent point.

He's certainly frightened of what will be discovered: but I'm not sure it has to do with raping a minor. I believe MAGAs would have no problem with that. But data might reveal other criminal activity, such as the evidence of Epstein's records where money ended up in Russian banks.

The flyover for the President of Poland is BS. Everyone was aware of the press conference, the flyover could have been scheduled around the Epstein victim press conference. EOS.

I believe Nancy Mace took back her signature. Lauren Boebert was also a signatory but MTG was the only one with the guts to attend the press conference and I have to give credit where credit is due.

Mace is a survivor of sexual assault, I believe, and her buttons were pushed while the Epstein survivors told their story. I'm hoping the opening of this memory of hers will change her outlook; and she'll allow empathy back into her world view. There are a lot of untreated survivors in this country: both girls and boys, which can lead to inapproriate behaviors as an adult.

MAGAs seem to have decided that empathy is as bad trait...until they change this, they'll continue to harm those of us that are most vulnerable, and that includes children. ;(

Having worked in a Child Advocacy Center for 3 years, testifying in court as subpoenaed, I tend to believe anyone who protects a pedophile is either a pedophile themselves, or they have yearnings for other sexual deviations. Just my opinion, based on my experiences and prejudice toward adults that harm children.

Also, many had experiences of sexual abuse/assault/child porn/molestation. Some believe as many as one out of every 4 girls. Untreated survivors could tend to follow what they see as a strongman to protect them: though their assessment of safety is wrong. :(

Women should understand the ramifications of sexual predators. Holding on to their seat should not be an issue for them if it is, then fire them all.
