Devastating changes to vaccine policy will be catastrophic for the fall/winter flu and covid season. Last season 2500 covid deaths per week. There will likely be a significant increase

If someone cannot do the ONE thing they are elected and swear an Oath to do, uphold the Constitution, then nothing they say, as popular as they may be, matters

Once you betray your Oath, you are no longer worthy to represent the People, this Country and our Constitution

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Starved in Jail Why are incarcerated people dying from lack of food or water, even as private companies are paid millions for their care?

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

We need to STOP THE #BillionaireTaxBailout - saving money for those who will never run out of money and taking it away from those who don't have enough. How GREEDY do you have to be to take money from those Americans who need it most?

Senators: do NOT vote for the #BillionaireTaxBailout. Shameful!

It's astonishing to see the number of deluded trump cultists twisting themselves into pretzels to justify or rationalize the titanic Signal security clusterfuck created by people whose job is to PREVENT that from happening.

Democrat, Republican, or Independent, you should want America to be SAFE.
