The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Since I worked on this speech, I'll just point out that this part was left out of the clip:
"We must allow undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows and step on a path toward full participation in our society. In fact, I will not support any bill that does not provide this earned path to citizenship for the undocumented population--not just for humanitarian reasons; not just because these people, having broken the law, did so for the best of motives, to try and provide a better life for their children and their grandchildren; but also because this is the only practical way we can get a handle on the population that is within our borders right now."
If Republicans would now like to support the immigration proposals that Obama and other Dems advocated back in 2006, we could actually get something done.
Did you know the department of energy deleted almost 6000 web pages on energy saving, all because they matched the advice Mamdani was giving in NYC?
It’s the world’s dumbest cult.
“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.
Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸
Dear @DOJRR47: In case you missed it, GOP Senators told @DAGToddBlanche to shove it.
And how quaint, you think deleting stuff from a website makes it go away.
The stain of Jan 6 is recorded and seared in American history. Nothing you do will erase it.
And November is coming.
You know who worked late every night he was POTUS?
Obama.
You know who didn’t need some fluffer with 36 chins to tell everyone about it on Twitter in order to satiate his tiny baby ego?
Also Obama.
the great @StephenAtHome is a national treasure and so is every member his extraordinary team. it’s a travesty their show is ending. honored I’ve somehow have been on the program four times (!) and that I bear even a slight resemblance to the kind-hearted man behind that desk.
Colbert has always been a beacon of comedy, and informed and measured commentary. He’s also a lovely guy. Playing his show was an absolute career highlight for us. He will be hugely missed. Very excited to see his upcoming LOTR Project. Onward, Stephen. Xoxox from Barenaked Ladies.
