Itโ€™s amazing how Republicans went from Terri Schiavo to โ€œsorry โ€˜bout that ventilator shortage but hey, sometimes people die and who are we to try to stop it?โ€

The mark of civilization is how a country cares for its sick, young, poor, and elderly. The Republican Party wants to undo our civilization

The problem is not simply one man, it's a Republican Party that lacks a moral compass, pushing policies that harm the weakest among us.

After the War, US industry went on a building spree and every factory had a lab, working to engineer better products on better lines. Boomersโ€™ parents were the workers and the engineers. 2/

@lawyerjawn @VABVOX And any basic training in domestic violence would have taught these cops that the abused woman will be the distraught one, while the abuser is all calm and collected. Because he's just dumped all his fury onto her. #Petito

@RepMarkGreen @SpeakerPelosi @realDonaldTrump Four people died in Benghazi and you held how many investigations? Seven THOUSAND Americans have died so far, and Trump's incompetent son-in-law thinks OUR stockpile of medical supplies is his and his alone. Hell yeah, we're going to investigate! Count on it!

@GOP It's marvelous to see the GOP praising our wonderful and effective President Joe Biden! Yes! Our border is well managed, and walls are not needed in these high-tech surveillance days. SO much more effective than Greg Abbott's stunt in Texas that found NO drugs at all!

@arappeport Mnuchin doesn't need to worry about being asked to stay. He needs to worry about going to prison! after we seize his assets to pay back what's been stolen from our Treasury.

Especially since this rude tweet came from @Jim_Jordan , enabler of sex abusers, "winner" from the country's most gerrymandered district, and rudesby who "can't" wear a jacket in Congress. But we have a will reply. With every win, we'll tweet to Gym, "Happy BD, Hillary."

@NRA Further forward in the documents creating the US comes a more important line: "...that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. That among those rights are LIFE,...." Domestic terrorists with guns are breaking the promise of this country to everyone.

Another truth is that the Biden team is seizing fentanyl at 100 times the rate trump ever did. And seizing means stopping.

The truth is, most fentanyl (90%) is brought across the border at legal ports of entry by American citizens hired by the cartels. Blaming migrants is a tactic Republicans use to stir hatred. Don't fall for it.
