1984: “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

It takes me 2.5 minutes to explain why it’s a lie that we gave all the weapons to Ukraine that we needed for Iran.

But the lie can be said in one sentence. We’re at a disadvantage when reality is nuanced.

But the truth is essential

🚨🚨🚨
With the confirmation of Clayton, Trump has loyalists in place at the power agencies who will work to enable his election subversion schemes for 2026 and 2028. They're not incompetent, and they're putting loyalists in beneath them. The threat is far greater than in 2020.

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

Trump is ending a program that helped keep Medicare prescription drug premiums affordable for millions of seniors.
I'm fighting to reverse this plan before it sticks seniors with higher prescription drug costs. https://t.co/YSLN7NoNSP

Republican members of Congress—all of whom have sworn loyalty to a man, Trump, who scientific journals confirm caused at least 400,000 needless deaths during the pandemic—are today calling for prison for a man who *saved* millions of lives in the same period.

A *disgusting* day.

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

what really destroys trust are kooks with large megaphones waging war against medical science to rile up people who don't know any better, many of whom will die as a result

🚨RICK SCOTT IS AN EVIL SON OF A BITCH

Scott is attacking Fauci for fraud due to “changing medical guidance.”

It’s called SCIENCE.

Doctors were appropriately cautious about pregnant women taking the vaccine until enough evidence existed. As the data grew, so did the confidence, and recommendations changed. That’s exactly how science is supposed to work.

Republicans undermined public safety for political appoints under COVID and they are doing it again.

Absolutely evil.

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

Democrats sense Todd Blanche nomination is vulnerable

Sen Dick Durbin (D-IL): “Pardoning Jan 6 rioters & cop-beaters wasn’t enough for Pres Trump… So, two months ago, Blanche colluded with President Trump’s private lawyers to create a nearly $2 billion slush fund to benefit the Jan 6 mob”

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Republicans want us to memory-hole everything Trump did in 2020 while dragging us back into the same tired 2020 culture wars: Fauci, Wuhan, vaccines, communism.

Why? Because it’s now 2026, they broke the country, and desperately need a distraction to reinvigorate their base.

It’s like Vanilla Ice playing “Ice Ice Baby” on loop.

[Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA]

Happening NOW.

Trump wanted to shut up the Epstein survivors.

Trump wanted to hide the files.

Trump should know: we’re putting them on the road through the midterms.

🚨UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Rand Paul is threatening to throw Dr. Anthony Fauci in prison for invoking the Fifth Amendment.

Imagine calling yourself a constitutional conservative while demanding someone be jailed for exercising a constitutional right. You can’t make this shit up.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

So many have been convinced to vote against their own interests, for the benefit of the rich elites. Our founding fathers would be disgusted.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Four members of Congress who sit on committees that directly regulate SpaceX have a family stake in the company’s stock.

Yes, these are conflicts of interest. No, this should not be allowed.

No, the opposite my friend. More than 85% of all Covid deaths occurred among the unvaccinated, with many of those deaths sadly before vaccines became available in 2021. But in addition at least 200,000, possibly 300,000 died because they refused vaccines after they were made available. Most of those deaths from vaccine refusal occurred with delta and BA.1 omicron waves in 2021-22

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

We really need to collect the stories of all 200,000-300,000 Americans who needlessly died from Q3 2021 to Q3 of 2022 from Covid bc they refused Covid vaccines. They fell victim to a deliberate campaign of anti-science disinformation led by the Murdoch media empire, some Spotify podcasters, 4-6 members of the U.S. Congress, and wellness influencers who knowingly pushed ivermectin as a substitute when they knew it did nothing for Covid. Horrible sociopaths who did it for greed, political gain, or who were desperate for recognition

[Jay Inslee @JayInslee]

Taxpayer money isn't a party favor to be handed out for loyalty and yanked away for dissent—that's extortion with a fancy letterhead, not governance.

[Geoffrey Lean @GeoffreyLean]

Trump has killed or slashed over 200 clean energy projects in the last 18 months, costing the US economy $90 billion and sacrificing 470,000 new jobs. Where’s the sense in any of that?

Kristen Welker laughing with Stephen Miller is an utter disgrace.

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

Actually 1.2 million Americans died from COVID, including >200,000 who perished needlessly bc they refused Covid vaccines. Those Americans fell victim to a vile anti-science disinformation campaign led by Fox News, NewsCorps, Spotify, some members of U.S. Congress, and the wellness industry pushing ivermectin and other useless substitutes.
