Russell, we are beyond panic mode. When 67 million Americans who depend on Social Security checks each month do not get paid, the U.S. economic system goes immediately into implosion. There's even more Americans with sensitive information and payments flowing through the Medicare and Medicaid systems. Disturb that and people die, plus the insurance industry implodes and they are one of the strongest lobbying industries in Washington. This is not a video game even though that's who seems to be messing with the systems and data--20-something video gamers.
Georgia, I agree. We are in a time when nothing like this has happened before. The danger is coming from within our own government. Democratic leadership voices have got to keep sounding this alarm.

Well said!!! Timely and cogent. Thank you, Russell.
Thanks, Susan. Once I saw Patty Murray and Elizabeth Warren speaking up, I figured this was worth digging into. Scary stuff.
Yes, it is. Every reasoned voice of resistance is important. Especially one like yours, with an intelligent and active following.
