I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.
He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.
Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.
So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
