We cannot forget who was complicit on January 6th.

Ted Cruz fanned the flames of insurrection.

Ken Paxton provoked the rioters before the assault.

John Cornyn refused to investigate the attack.

They have forfeited their right to represent us in our nation’s Capitol.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Bennet runs out of patience with RFK Jr and yells at him that "I'm asking the questions on behalf of parents and schools and teachers all over the United States of America who deserve so much better than your leadership! That's what this conversation is about."

Andy Beshear on RFK Jr: β€œSecretary Kennedy should not be Secretary of HHS. This person is dangerous in that job. This is somebody who put a dead bear in the back of their car, put a whale head on top of their car, and recently swam in an unsafe area with one of his grandchildren.”

What Ghislaine Maxwell Told the Justice Department Listening to the convicted sex offender’s lengthy interview reveals that she and her interviewer had one goalβ€”to satisfy Donald Trump.

To read the 337-page transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with the Deputy Attorney General is to be horrified, even enraged, by Maxwell’s brazen airbrushing of her conduct, and by Blanche’s placid acceptance of her rendition of events.

Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs.

Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.

Any Senators here?

I’m a biomedical scientist with immunology, cancer, infectious disease expertise.

RFK Jr lied to you in his confirmation hearings. Repeatedly. Provably.

He’s lied to EVERYONE for 30+ years. Repeatedly. Provably.

He WILL lie today. Repeatedly. Provably.

Fighting fascism takes courage and resolve. Autocrats have no empathy, so they don't deserve our sympathy!

Rising fascism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on its perils: unjust war; failed democracy; race-based oppression. See:
