Cable channels and traditional media are saturated with impeachment coverage. Healthcare rates remain unaffordable. We cannot ignore the Medicare for All battle and others. Let's walk, chew gum, read, and think at the same time. When Trump gets impeached, whether removed from office or not, the euphoric sugar high will be short-lived....
