We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

People are entitled to have their opinions and express them. The question is what is reasonable and acceptable (and lawful) for them to DO about it.

This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948. An air inversion trapped the pollution spewed out by U.S. Steel-owned factories in Donora, Pennsylvania. The Donora Smog killed 20 people and sickened 6000 others. Let's talk about this horrible moment and how it spurred pollution controls!

Republicans can’t find $8 billion for SNAP, but *can* find $40 billion for Argentina and $230 million to line the president’s pockets… because his feelings are hurt?
The math isn’t mathing—and the American people aren’t buying the bullshit Republicans are selling.
So philanthropic: "planting trees under whose shade they will never sit."

Seven million is 3500 times as many as came out to protest the 2020 election results on 6 Jan 2021.
More perspectives?
Failing miserably to do their job.

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

As a result, tens of thousands will unnecessarily die so that the 1% can get a trillion dollars in tax breaks.
Unacceptable. We cannot allow it.
