Democrats fight back

JFC. We are an international joke.
While we are transfixed by the antics of our supposed "leaders", a catastrophe of astonishing proportions has been creeping up on us. Climate scientists now believe it is more likely than not to happen, and soon.
This week's column.

“.. Developing Asia is already in a full-blown energy crisis. .. Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines are facing shortages, rationing and demand destruction. .. If the strait remains closed, this will develop, horribly, into a food crisis ..”

“Russia can sustain extremely high levels of casualties and losses in human lives. They don’t care about people’s lives,” a Ukrainian officer told me. However, “it is painful for them to lose money.”
There is no excuse. None.
Republicans have the votes, they have the power—and tonight they are choosing, deliberately, to do nothing for families and everything for ICE.
It’s past 3 AM and they’re jamming through $70 billion for ICE and $0 for families.
Spread the word.
Johnson conveniently forgot that Newsom warned Trump: if Republicans gerrymander Texas, California would fight fire with fire, and other states would follow.
So now that Republicans don’t like the taste of their own medicine, maybe they can finally get serious about a federal ban on gerrymandering.
GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. represents New Jersey’s most competitive district this November — but nobody, even his GOP colleagues, can say where he’s been for the past month.
Kean’s team says he’s facing unspecified health issues. He hasn’t voted since March 5th and has missed almost 50 roll call votes.
John Cornyn has been in office longer than I’ve been alive.
He’s had 40 years to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and gas.
What’s the hold up?
You’ll notice that CNN propagandist Jake Tapper isn’t attacking the orange felon’s mental deterioration or him being clearly unfit for office the same way he attacked President Biden who was actually doing good work.

This article is from last year.
RFK expects us to forget about it.
As with COVID we are watching attempts to rewrite history in front of us.
Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners.
Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.
This is WILD! 21 Legionnaires' cases "...after visiting restaurant, had no other shared behavioral history, & showed concordant genotyping results, indicating that outbreak was caused by aerosols generated by the electric fireplace." [which had a vapor tray]

seems like the smart play here is to just not attend it is just my opinion
Jeffrey Tucker, a major MAHA power broker was a fan of teenage smoking.
“This was not a disease that was killing healthy people. It was killing sick people”.
RFK Jr. lying about the COVID19 pandemic.
People with preexisting conditions also don’t deserve to die
Do not stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles.
Do not stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles.
Do not stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles.
Do not stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles.
Do not stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles.
Do not stop.
Yeah I’m struggling with this hearing.
RFK Jr. is lying every time he is asked a question and we’re expected to just like accept that this is normal business.
THIS. MAN. SHOULD. NOT. BE. HHS. SECRETARY. PERIOD.
He is dangerous and he is harming so many people.
Despite the best efforts of Republicans and their billionaire fossil fuel donors EV’s are here to stay
Okay, this will help Xavier Becerra; hopefully, Jay will be in charge of Social Media. Let's go @xavierbecerra.bsky.social
The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper nearly loses his mind listening to MAGA defend Trump's Al Jesus pic and his war with the pope.
Rich guy grievance is so pathetic. Retaliating against my unprovoked abuse is the real abuse. Lashing out and then crying as official national policy
VAN HOLLEN: What you've done is prove a windfall to very wealthy people who don't pay taxes
BESSENT: Why would I do that? What's your theory of the case?
VAN HOLLEN: Because this administration time after time has tiled the tax code in favor of very wealthy people
"[Impeachment] is how you hold executive officials to account. This is what the Framers gave us to deal with a president who is failing at his job, not just because he's incompetent—which he is, not just because he's crazy—because he is, but because fundamentally he's a criminal who defies the law."
Democracy Docket’s coverage of Virginia has taken a different approach — making clear from the start the obvious and crucial point that the redraw is an effort to level the national playing field in response to Trump’s scheme.

Convicted sex criminal Ghislaine Maxwell socialized with Melania from Palm Beach to Manhattan. Emails revealed in the Epstein Files show that the two communicated. Today, the DOJ is still hiding nearly half the files. Why? What’s being hidden? Oversight Dems will find out.
BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
