People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses.
YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE.

RFK Jr. thinks that contracting measles is good for you. Yet he just attended the funerals of two children who died from the disease.
And at least 10% of measles cases end up hospitalized.
Do you think that’s good? If not, spread the word that RFK Jr. is committing #PublicHealthMalpractice

Most people have heard of Meals on Wheels. What you might not know is how vital this 71 year old program is.
It serves 251M meals to more than 2M seniors annually!
And it’s all at risk under budget cuts.
