* "NYT: Obama administration tried to preserve Trump Russia intel:"
* It disgusts me that people are fawning over 45 because he managed to read a whole speech full of mixed lies and terrible policy ideas without stopping to mock disabled people, froth at the mouth without screaming anything racist, or grabbing some congresswoman in an inappropriate location. Just how fucking low is the bar for straight white cis men, exactly?
* "Sessions met with Russian envoy twice last year, encounters he later did not disclose:" https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/sessions-spoke-twice-with-russian-ambassador-during-trumps-presidential-campaign-justice-officials-say/2017/03/01/77205eda-feac-11e6-99b4-9e613afeb09f_story.html?utm_term=.c8f74e01ceca
* So it's looking like Jeff Sessions has been concealing his contacts with the Russian ambassador. If you'll remember, as head of the Justice Department, he has huge power over whether and how Russian interference in the election, the breach of the Logan act, treason, espionage, etc. in the Trump Administration would be investigated or prosecuted, and would pick a special prosecutor if there is one. Given he's potentially implicated... Yeah.

* I wish Republicans would explain how a yearly tax credit will help people who can not afford a monthly health insurance premium if they take away Medicaid as they are planning, because on the surface that doesn't make a damned bit of sense and will likely kill millions of people. It seems to me if you give people a choice between paying rent or be homeless with health insurance, I am pretty sure they will take the housing and rightly so.

(For those not following the ID Saga, the easy bit was changing my State ID and Social security over. Name change was expensive, but is super smooth in my state. Birth Certificate was a fucking nightmare because I was foolishly born in Pennsylvania, which has very simple legal criteria to amend a birth certificate, but it's all a lie, as the actual bureaucrats impose a whole other extremely strict and transphobic system not stated in the law or on their web site. If you are trying to amend a PA Birth certificate and want to know the specific transphobic wording you need in your documents and extra criteria, PM and I will tell you how to work the fucking system).
