All but one of the 53 Senate Republicans voted to confirm anti-vax crusader RFK Jr. as health and human services secretary. When you vote for Republicans, you're voting for measles.

We've got to face the fact that a third of the country doesn't care if Trump is out of his mind as long as he's as racist and sexist as they are. But we also must recognize that the rest of the country deserves to live in a free country, not a dictatorship. Vote against all Republicans.

If you vote for Republicans, you're voting to cover up the truth about sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his friends, including Donald Trump.

“Pretend I’m on the ballot,” Trump says. He is, along with: An illegal war, high gas prices, ICE’s street murders, measles, crypto scams, explosive diarrhea after food safety cutbacks, concentration camps and pardons for cop beaters. When you vote for Republicans, you’re voting for all of that.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Tillis also voted for RFK, Jr. He voted for Kash Patel. He supported Kristi Noem, Lutnick and Bessent In fact, Thom Tillis voted for ALL of Trump’s atrocious cabinet appointees-even though he knew how bad they would be. He’s a spineless weasel of a man who eagerly facilitated America’s demise
