I will never forgive RFK Jr. for what he’s done… never.
The layers of hell he has unleashed in many different areas — not just healthcare — over the past two decades have caused so much damage, it’s overwhelming.
He is one of the greatest villains of the 21st century.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Trump bragged about grappling women by the pu**y & barging into rooms of partially dressed, young pageant contestants. A jury concluded he assaulted E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room. So nothing that’s in the Epstein emails is a surprise. It’s just confirmation.

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

There’s no politics or journalistic objectivity to consider here. If you’re on the side of ICE, you have no humanity.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat
Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

They can start by speaking out against the impending Paramount-Warner Brothers merger and demanding that state AGs challenge it
This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment.
This is the litmus test.
Learn from history.
Who will step up and fight?
Who will bend the knee and be complicit?

I’m trying hard not to doom and I remain long term optimistic about the politics and about our ability to rebuild.
but it is hard not to notice that every function of the federal government intended to prevent death is currently on fire, except for the ones that are ashes already.

If something happened to be daughter and in response I was told that she is now "with the person who loved her the most," you could not hold me legally liable for what I would do next.
Fox News' Trey Gowdy: "The only thing that can give us any modicum of peace at all is those two children are with the person who loved them the very most, the person who created them, that being Jesus. That is the only thing that can possibly give parents in the future any modicum of peace."
