Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.
A screenshot of a social media post from “Republicans against Trump.” The post quotes Marco Rubio from 2016 criticizing Donald Trump. Below the text is a CNN interview screenshot showing a man in a suit speaking with U.S. and Florida flags behind him. The on-screen chyron reads: “RUBIO: TRUMP RHETORIC LIKE ‘THIRD-WORLD STRONG MEN’” and “Sen. Marco Rubio (R) Presidential Candidate.”

"If we’ve learned nothing else from this administration’s second term so far, and I don’t think we have, is that giving the bully your lunch money doesn’t make him go away, it just makes him come back hungrier each time. They are never going to stop.”

Why aren't more physicians speaking out about vaccines saving lives? Where are the AMA and the pediatric groups? Speak up and advocate for what you know and recommend for your patients! Our hospitals will be over run with very sick and dying kids and adults this winter if you don't!

How Trumpism is like Stalinism. A thread. 🧵🧵🧵 Many people make valid comparisons of Trumpism to Nazism. But I think MAGA authoritarianism bears more similarities to Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union – ruthless, paranoid, dishonest and determined to climb into every aspect of the lives of his people.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

This is the ER waiting room at a major hospital in East Tennessee. My 93 year old minor was taken there by ambulance with a broken femur around 5 pm. She is in “holding” as if 12:10 am. She is in excruciating pain, not been seen by a doctor, no family allowed to see her. Third world healthcare.
