RFK Jr. wants to "make America healthy again."

So he's doing that by dismantling federal health agencies and firing civil servants who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and vaccines.

Do I have this right?

Sorry, brief correction: I actually visited the Tucson soft-sided facility in fall 2023, not the El Paso soft-sided facility. Everything is a blur.

Very similar construction, though.

Or about these illegal deportations in the way ICE is behaving.

Or about the cost of that ridiculous parade while cutting food stamps, Head Start, & the federal workforce many who exist only to help Americans in need.

Or RFK Jr's anti-vaccination idiocy.

Call and tell your reps to do their jobs.

That was what needed to happen today.

Fascists depend on the appearance of strength, and they have never looked weaker.

Good job, friends.

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days.

At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.
