We fight on all fronts.
Republicans are trying to pass another resolution blaming the country’s problems on gay and transgender kids and drag shows.
To distract from measles outbreaks, rising costs, and the stock market crash.
I’m on the Senate floor now to stop it.

The person specifically asked if he would visit the site to see the first responders, so it’s a slap in the face to them too.
When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

If RFK is confirmed, I think we should just stop doing hearings. It will be proof positive that they don’t work; anyone will be confirmed by their own party. Drug dealer for HHS Secretary. Wow.

My parents instilled a very strong sense of the importance of family. I wish they had taught me to be more self confident and sure of myself. I still have to work at that, even today.
