The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

5 GOP House members + 20 GOP Senators could could *finish* this today. 25 people out of a nation of ~340 million.

OK, 21 GOP Senators, depending on Fetterman.

Would you give your money to a guy who said, β€œYou can literally sell shit in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin, for a billion dollars if the story’s right,”

Why are we considering letting these people run a bank.

The Republicans are proving to the world that if you're part of the Epstein class, you can get away with some really horrific things.

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

Casey Means is dangerous & unqualified for Surgeon General.

Check out what fmr SG, Jerome Adams had to say:

β€œYou wouldn’t promote someone to general without them meeting basic military standards…why should you lower the bar for public health?”

Agree? Call your senators & let them know.

Kristi Noem’s Gestapo agents are trained to disregard human life. That should concern everyone.

Her reckless leadership and trampling of the constitution will lead to more injuries, broken families, and deaths at the hands of DHS.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

damn, Trump's surgeon general nominee Casey Means is a transparent bullshitter even by the standards of the regime. Watch how she's tries to blame Chris Murphy's staffers for the fact he has her dead to rights on being dishonest and corrupt.
