As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Good thing Trump’s new HHS Secretary RFK Jr is an advocate for raw milk. That pasteurization stuff that saved hundreds of thousands of kids from bovine tuberculosis and other diseases is all deep state nonsense. 🙄

When Trump fired James Comey in 2017, it was a nearly impeachment-level scandal because it was (rightly) regarded as an egregious abuse of power. Now he's going to fire Comey's successor, again for no legitimate reason, but no one cares because Trump has normalized abusing power.
