Seriously, as a kid doc, I hate that Cassidy sold out the medical community, public health as well a the Hippocratic and/or Geneva Oath to carry water for Trump. His vote gave Kennedy the power to discredit the CDC for generations to come. Screw this guy.

The Department of Justice has dropped a number of criminal charges against corporations that are Trump donors.
I demanded answers from the DOJ on this failure and potential corruption. No one is above the law, regardless of how many resources or how much money they have.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
