HI HELLO. Mitch McConnell and Tom Kean got longer medical leaves (with literally zero transparency and fully funded healthcare) than I, and most women get after having a baby…including having a baby via major surgery 💁🏻‍♀️

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Trump sued Dem-led states to try to force them to use the new DOGE-created voter purge system (called “SAVE”), but the courts said NO. The so-called “SAVE America Act” aims to enact this same requirement. Remember Florida’s bogus voter purge in 2000? Now multiply that times all 50 states.
