REMINDER — since that moron @RandPaul wants to revisit the covid pandemic era.
*️⃣ Trump inherited a fully staffed pandemic response team from the Obama administration called the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense ... TRUMP DISBANDED IT.
*️⃣ Trump inherited a complete scientific team to combat diseases and viruses from the Obama administration called PREDICT ... TRUMP DISBANDED IT.
*️⃣ Trump was given a 69 page, step-by-step manual in how to handle a pandemic by Obama ... TRUMP IGNORED IT.
*️⃣ In 2018, Trump ELIMINATED the position of senior director for global health security and biodefense.
*️⃣ Trump inherited a fully functioning CDC from the Obama administration ... TRUMP WANTED TO CUT THEIR FUNDING BY UP TO 20%. (Congress intervened)
*️⃣ Trump inherited a coordinating response with the World Health Organization from the Obama administration ... TRUMP BEGAN TO WITHDRAWAL THE UNITED STATES. (President Biden reversed this withdrawal notice)
Trump had inherited a fully functioning pandemic response team that could have battled the coronavirus in 2020; but instead, he destroyed our much needed disease and/or virus and pandemic response teams.
But @RandPaul wants to cast blame on Dr. Anthony Fauci.
To confirm:
Tim Walz passed a bill in MN banning services that use AI to generate nude images of minors.
Elon Musk, through xAI, is suing to block this bill.
When we call MAGA pedophile protectors, this is what we are talking about.
Does anyone remember when Elon Musk criticized MacKenzie Scott for giving away billions to help vulnerable people?
Now he's calling José André who has fed thousands of people in some of the world's worst disasters an asshole.
No, Elon.
You're the asshole.
Democrats forced Graham Platner to step down over serious allegations - but when Max Miller faces serious allegations of throwing boiling water on his ex-wife, beating her, holding a gun to her head and breaking his 2yo daughter’s collarbone - Republicans do nothing.
All the most damning evidence is being hidden from American voters—and everyone in DC knows it.
What sort of cowardice prompts anyone to accept this as anything but a criminal conspiracy in plain sight? Institutional violence against justice and even the very concept of America?
Pete Buttigieg: “The outrageous news that we just got with the Trump administration removed the names of four of our service members who were killed in action, apparently because the fact that they were killed in action goes against his fiction that sometimes he says we are actually not in a war, even though everybody knows we are. What I would say to him is when I was in uniform, when I was deployed, I knew that on some level my life depended on the credibility of the people running our government…American lives depend on him telling the truth even when it's hard.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Thursday that Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) five-week absence from Congress and lack of response to Gov. Andy Beshear's (D-KY) request for an update on his health "conveys a very disturbing inability to fulfill his duties."
"I understand that people have a right to medical privacy to deal with their issues, but we do not have the right to disappear from our jobs without explanation," she said. "I don't think any American has ever experienced the ability to just leave your job for over a month with no explanation to your employer."
