It is a sad day indeed when leaders use their authority in ways that cause harm, feed ego, or damage individuals who have spent their lives in service to others.
Dr. Fauci deserves better.
It was an embarrassment to watch my Republican colleagues berate and belittle Dr. Fauci for nearly three hours last week.
If they had genuine concern for America’s public health, they would turn their attention instead to the destruction wrought by the Trump Administration’s anti-science agenda.
Republicans SCREAMED their stupid fucking heads off for weeks about how the ALLEGATIONS against Platner disqualified him, but now they’ve got a guy accused by his Republican Senator ex-father in law of ABUSING his wife and toddler daughter and suddenly they’re silent???
When you realize that the number two guy involved in the largest child sex trafficking ring in human history remains President of the United States with ZERO fucking consequences, it’s no surprise the Capital One money laundering story has all but vanished from the news cycle.
61 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law, and 61 years later, they're still playing games with our right to vote.
From gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, to Trump's voter suppression bill, to the racist gerrymandering across the South — they're hellbent on taking us back to the days of Jim Crow.
Well, we're not playing.
We owe it to those who marched, bled, and sacrificed for our right to vote — and to the next generation — to keep fighting, keep organizing, and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
The fight is far from over.
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit seeking to compel Washington, D.C. to provide the DOJ with access to its complete voter registration database.
DOJ is now 0-21 in these cases. Elias Law Group remains undefeated. https://t.co/5AEGSB0kpM
They just voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt. Translation: they really don’t want voters to focus on THEIR CONTINUED COVERING UP OF THE EPSTEIN CRIMES leading up to the election.
Ok so when trump pardons his family or members of his administration, Democrats can call them to testify and when they plead the fifth Democrats can hold them in contempt.
Good to know.
Sen. WELCH: Is there no line that the Senate won’t allow Donald Trump to cross? It confirmed Bondi, Hegseth, Patel, Noem. And it’s about to confirm Blanche. The President is abusing his authority every day and that’s shame on him. But the Senate is failing to use its power.
Republicans have the majority in the Senate and House and they're telling you they cannot rein Trump in, so stop giving them power. They're telling you they refuse to use it.
Should Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, pay the same amount of taxes into Social Security as a fireman or nurse? Of course not.
The answer isn't complicated. Let's lift the cap and make the wealthiest people in America pay their fair share to strengthen Social Security.
NEW: Mitch McConnell says he has been discharged from rehabilitation and is now recovering at home.
But nearly two months after he was last seen publicly, McConnell still has not appeared on camera or directly addressed Kentuckians; despite Gov. Andy Beshear calling on him to demonstrate that he remains capable of serving.
BREAKING: LOVE IT! Dr. Abdul El-Sayed says he can't wait to be a senator so that he can "grill" MAGA quack RFK Jr. about all of his insane medical conspiracy theories since he's an actual doctor.
We'd pay good money to watch this hearing...
"I can't wait to sit across RFK Jr. and actually grill him. Dude uses big words he does not understand and I happen to go to medical school so I kind of understand them," El-Sayed said during an appearance on CNN.
"It is going to be a good time holding him accountable for all of the grift that he has pushed on the American public," he added.
"So if you win that's the Trump official you most want to see testifying before you in the Senate?" asked Kaitlan Collins.
"I think it's the Trump official that most people would probably like to see me stand up against because look I'm a guy with a doctorate in medicine and in public health he's a guy who takes his kids swimming in Shit's Creek," said El-Sayed.
That is indeed something that we'd love to see. RFK Jr. has done incalculable damage to this country by pushing insane anti-vaccine rhetoric and aiding the Trump White House's gutting of crucial health services and resources.
Best of all, El-Sayed is not just a medical doctor, he's an epidemiologist. Nobody is better equipped to tear through the MAGA lies about the COVID-19 pandemic. And if, God forbid, we experience another widespread viral outbreak under this woefully incompetent administration, El-Sayed will be in a position to save lives.
America needs this man in the U.S. Senate!
Please ❤️ and share if you'd love to see Dr. El-Sayed tear into RFK Jr.!
