How did we get here? Late last Thursday, the Senate came one vote -- one single vote -- away from passing a health care bill that would have devastated the lives of millions of Americans.
The fact that it failed is an undeniable testament to you. To the calls you made, the letters you wrote, the rallies you attended. To the mantra we always believed in during the Obama administration: One voice can change a room.
But we got to this moment, quite simply, because every part of this process was wrong -- and understanding that will help us with an equally important question: What comes next?
There's only one answer: We work together to make people's lives better.
Mitch McConnell and Senate leaders wanted to help this administration score a win. Now is the time to forget about political points.
They wanted to draft the bill in secret committees and back rooms. Now is the time for transparency, debate, and an open process that seeks bipartisan solutions.
They wanted to ignore health care experts, doctors, insurers, hospitals, and worst of all, the American people. Now is the time to listen and solicit valuable feedback.
Here's what cannot happen next: an administration scheming to sabotage Obamacare, rooting for the failure of markets and pulling resources away that could help Americans get the relief they need.
It must be a real and honest attempt to help all Americans get access to quality, affordable health care.
That's the only way forward -- and to make sure they understand that, we need to keep standing strong:https://my.ofa.us/Keep-Fighting-For-Heath-Care

The Restaurant
Across
a bridge, over a river, into a dream.
Located
in one of New York’s most unique settings, The River Café has become very
well-known around the world as a culinary destination.
Nestled riverside under the Brooklyn Bridge with
sweeping views of the New York skyline and the Statue of Liberty, The River
Café serves a classic New American menu using only the finest and freshest
ingredients available.
The changing tides
of fashion and trends may come and go, but Michael O’Keeffe’s vision of
timelessness expressed as a Restaurant will always beThe River Café.
It has never left its mooring under the
Brooklyn Bridge, but still journeys ahead each day toward the goal of seeking
out the finest ingredients for every detail of the dining experience and
delivering them to guests from all over the world.
To endure so consistently as a culinary destination for forty years
accompanied by an unwavering commitment to excellence is nothing short of
marvelous. Bravissimo Buzzy.

Projects 105: Cinthia Marcelle
Through September 4
MoMA PS1
Tickets available at MoMA PS1
For Projects 105, MoMA PS1 presents Education by Stone(2016), a new site-specific
installation by Cinthia Marcelle (born Belo Horizonte, Brazil, 1974) and the
artist’s first solo exhibition in New York. Marcelle is known for
installations, performances, and videos that stage forms of labor to produce
poetic situations. The installation introduces chalk, a traditional teaching
material to which Marcelle has returned throughout her career, into the Duplex
gallery of MoMA PS1—which is itself a former school building. Numerous rods of
chalk will be lodged into the fissures and openings of the gallery’s brick
walls from floor to ceiling, revealing the material’s inherent instability and
fragility.
Cinthia
Marcelle has had solo exhibitions in South America and Europe. She recently
participated in the 11th Sharjah Biennial (2015), and will represent Brazil in
the 57th Venice Biennale (2017). In 2006, she was the recipient of the
International Prize for Performance for her work Gray Demonstration (2006).
In 2010, she was awarded the Future Generation Prize.
Organized by
Giampaolo Bianconi, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Media and Performance
Art, The Museum of Modern Art.
The Elaine
Dannheisser Projects Series is made possible in part by The Elaine Dannheisser
Foundation and The Junior Associates of The Museum of Modern Art.
