RFK is not a doctor.
RFK is not a medical expert.
RFK is not a scientist.
RFK is not trained in medicine or health policy.
The fact he is even nominated is a national disgrace and embarrassment.
I come from a family of doctors & cancer researchers. My district is full of medical professionals. RFK, Jr. is an anti-vax conspiracist. While we hear from him today, here’s the facts on what he did to kids in Samoa & why the Senate must reject him:
Call me crazy but I don’t think President Kamala Harris would’ve turned off free lunches for poor children or cut Medicaid funding for vulnerable Americans.
The guy is 53 years old.
He's almost a trillionaire.
He employs many thousands of people.
He's running multiple billion-dollar businesses.
He's made the "heart with hands" gesture. 🫶
He's had access to the same historical information we all have since grade school.
And, just two days before Holocaust Remembrance Day, he tells Germany's AfD it's time to move "past guilt" of the Holocaust.
And you want US to believe that he doesn't know what the fucking sieg heil salute is?
Get the fuck out of here with that gaslighting bullshit.
Trump’s first week was great if you’re a mega-billionaire or Oath Keeper.
It wasn’t so great for the rest of us.
I know a lot of folks are feeling down right now, & trust me, I get it.
But the battle lines were drawn. And here’s why I'm confident we can win this fight.
🧵
If you said he wasn’t gonna implement project 2025, you were wrong…
If you said, he loves the “blacks,” you were wrong.
If you said he’d only deport the “bad” ones, you were wrong.
Oh and my fav, if you said he was going to reduce the cost of eggs, Boy, were you WRONG.
Trump don’t give a damn about the country as a whole… PERIOD.
The executive orders signed by our current president clearly demonstrate a lack of regard for the best interests of the American people. Below are some of the most impactful orders and the potential consequences for our country:
Bible verses condemning trans folks: 0
Bible verses about welcoming migrants: 33
Bible verses about advocating for peace: 429
Bible verses about loving God and others: 714
Bible verses about taking care of the poor: 2000+
There are absolutely no "biblical" grounds for being anti-trans.
Hey MAGA:
• Egg prices haven’t gone down
• Grocery prices haven’t gone down
• Gas prices haven’t gone down
• Housing prices haven’t gone down
What happened??? Trump said this would happen immediately? You got played so badly.
For the rest of my life I will never understand how MAGA was so furious about Dr. Fauci, who saved many lives, being pardoned by President Biden, but they're thrilled about January 6th thugs, who beat cops with flagpoles, being pardoned by trump.
BREAKING: MAGA world melts down as Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde calls Donald Trump out directly to his face during a sermon at the National Cathedral — urging him to find compassion and mercy.
This is the last thing Trump expected today...
"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives," the reverend said as Trump sat in the pews.
She said that millions of Americans "put their trust in you."
"The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," she added.
Destroying Republicans lies about migrants, she said that those workers "pay taxes" and are "faithful members" of American churches, mosques, synagogues, and mosques.
Appealing to empathy that Trump lacks, she said that the children of those migrants "fear their parents are going to be taken away."
"Find compassion," she added, urging him to help vulnerable people fleeing from war zones and persecution — a tall ask for a man as demonstrably anti-refugee as Trump.

I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.
Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.
The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.
If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.
The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.
What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.
Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.
