Remember that time Biden said, “To hell with it; someone please nuke Texas.”? Yeah. Neither does anyone else. Only. Donald. Trump. Wants. To. Kill. Millions. Of. US. Citizens. He should be in prison. PRISON.

🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines
The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

Senate Republicans took a wrecking ball to affordable coverage. Now 80% of ACA enrollees say costs are higher, and people are forced to choose between keeping insurance and paying for basics. Republicans lit the fire. Do not let them escape the smoke. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

We didn’t learn anything from Covid. People are already confidently calling the plague a nothingburger. Sure, we have cipro and doxycycline. The obvious concern here is that this strain was modified to be antibiotic resistant or spread more easily. We simply don’t know yet.
