I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself.

Sen Wyden has the goods. He & others have demanded that the records be released & investigated. I think he should release them as AG Bondi refuses to pursue. We have to stop playing by the "rules" if we're to claw back our democracy from authoritarianism.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

The WH wanted to cut the CDC by over 50%. Today we passed a bipartisan bill through committee REJECTING the President’s attempt to destroy the CDC.

I’ll never stop fighting for the CDC, its amazing people, and its vital public health mission.
