couldn’t get her covid vaccine yesterday either — in GA, even immunocompromised seniors need a prescription now, and her providers are closed til monday. it’s absurd. get RFK out of our health care
My mom — who is in her 70s and immunocompromised — could not get her vaccines today. RFK Jr. is lying when he says he's not making harder to get vaccines.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

this isn't hyperbole or caricature! It's a straightforwad, accurate characterization of what he said.
Trump's argument for the elimination of the estate tax is that the heirs of the super rich will no longer have to go beg a predatory Jewish banker for a bridge loan to overcome cash flow problems associated with the $15 million dollar estate they're about to get.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Today, Republicans made clear they are more afraid of Trump than the People.
They’ve pledged allegiance not to America, but to the Trump regime and its billionaire backers.
This is a betrayal—and a mistake.
America is resilient, and the people will not go quietly.
This fight has only just begun.

If you are paying taxes and getting zero services or healthcare in return, you are being taxed without representation. If your only incentive to pay taxes anymore is simply to avoid going to prison instead of any societal benefits, then you are no longer a citizen but a slave.
