If I were the Chair of the Senate HELP Committee, I would have moved to subpoena RFK Jr. a LONG time ago, but the next best time is NOW.
I'm pressing Chair Cassidy on this: what happened to those quarterly oversight hearings? It's well past time for Congress to step in.

🚨Jeff Bezos' wedding last summer cost about $50M. That, alone, could have saved all 300 positions cut today at The Washington Post for a year. Actually, he could have ensured there were no staff cuts for the next decade and he'd still have net worth of 249B.

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.
