— Democrats Who Flipped Seats in 2018 Have a 2020 Playbook: Focus on Drug
Costs House Democrats in key swing districts hope the debate over rising costs
will give them a decisive advantage next year, especially in suburbs where
President Trump remains unpopular. – Jennifer Steinhauer
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/24/us/politics/prescription-drug-costs-democrats.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The
president has been playing Ping-Pong,” said Representative Lauren Underwood,
Democrat of Illinois. “He stood in the House chamber and asked us for the
authority to negotiate drug prices, and we delivered, and he walked away.”
Health care, Ms. Underwood said, “is central” to her re-election campaign. She
has written 30 pieces of legislation this year, much of it health care related,
like a bill signed Monday by Mr. Trump that was designed to make a cheaper
generic form of insulin available to consumers more quickly.)
WASHINGTON POST
— It was the year of ‘OK boomer,’ and the generations were at each other’s
throats – Karen Heller (DIERSEN: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, my Democrat
superiors promoted age discrimination, that is, “up-or-out,” big time
so that they could promote their employees who were Democrat, minority, and/or
female. They got rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male,
and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by
age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age
35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: This
year it became “OK” to be ageist. It became acceptable to digitally flick off
your elders or young’uns on social media, to respond “OK boomer” or “OK
millennial,” when, in truth, the people being addressed were often far from
okay. . .While many people — though certainly not all — try to be more
sensitive about race, orientation and heritage, ageist tropes ran rampant.
“Age-based prejudice is the last acceptable form of prejudice,” says New York
University’s Michael North, who studies ageism in the workplace. “People are
making age-based generalizations and stereotypes that you wouldn’t be able to
get away with about race or background. Insert some sort of racial or ethnic
group, or ‘OK Woman,’ and it wouldn’t go over too well.”)

— This New Platform Can Tell You What It’s Like To Be A Minority At The
World’s Largest Companies – Janice Gassam (DIERSEN: Because I am conservative,
Republican, Protestant, German American, non-veteran, and someone whose
ancestors had been in America for a long time, I was almost always a minority
during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government 1966-1969
and 1971-1997. Further, because I am conservative, I have been a minority in
the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican
Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party since 1999. Further, because I
am conservative, I was a minority in TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012,
Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee 2003-2011, Illinois
Center Right Coalition Steering Committee 2003-2007, and American Association
of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board 2001-2003. The majorities in the

been in America for a long time.)
