Thank you, Senator Alsobrooks, for holding RFK Jr. accountable for peddling dangerous & discriminatory conspiracy theories about vaccines that mislead parents and communities.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
