MAGA Sen. Bill Cassidy — a doctor — shrugged off RFK Jr.’s dangerous, debunked vaccine lies with “life is lived forward.” That’s not leadership. That’s a coward’s cop-out with real public health consequences.
Able Dems rejects this moral bankruptcy. We fight for leaders with integrity & compassion.

This is hideous. The Supreme Court is allowing Trump to enforce its anti-transgender, anti-nonbinary passport policy, forcing every passport to list a person’s so-called “biological sex.”
This unsigned order is abusive. It’s an attack on human rights, dignity, and freedom.
