Sunday Morning Open Thread with Music by Three Dog Night [1]

Good morning, everyone.

Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum. Join us, please.

So the Repubs got their wish last night. Their budget bill got 51 votes.

I knew Hawley was never going to vote no. Of course Collins caved in the end. Murkowski was the real disappointment. I don’t know how she can justify this to her voters. She knows small town hospitals are going to close permanently. People are going to die.

I live in a rural area in Wisconsin. Actually, it’s more like the north woods. I wonder what’s going to happen to my local clinic and hospital. My county’s only pharmacy is also in that hospital. Am I going to have to be driven 35 miles to the nearest Walmart just to pick up my ADHD meds? This medical transport company is not at all reliable.

Sorry, but I’m just not in the mood to write about anything more upbeat.

Our prolific contributor P Carey has become an esteemed MOT emeritus, so there are slots available for bloggers on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If interested contact officebss or Ozarkblue via KOSmail. Blank-slate diaries will fill in those unused slots in the meantime.

Now on with the tunes.

So what’s on your mind this morning?
