I'm sick to my stomach that someone like Erica who had a distinguished military career has disgraced herself...for what? A position?

Perfect timing for the midterms. It will be even more interesting if the Dems pull off a blowout. What more damage to the economy and D.C. infrastructure will happen after the midterms?

Politicians know that hostile, hate-filled, violent language attracts adherents. That's their playbook. They ignore the possible consequences of followers following through and hurting people. We must hold politicians accountable for this.

Can say this about any number of privileged males. Now we have podcasts and social media that give them credibility they haven’t earned. Hard work and real accomplishments don’t seem to matter so much anymore.

This will cause children to miss doses (intentional?). There's NO evidence that multiple vaccines in one visit causes harm. There is no evidence that the MMR combination causes harm. But we do know that measles, mumps, RSV, etc. do cause harm. We need a congress that stops this. Elections matter.

Health care workers didn't have N95 masks. They were reusing them for weeks at a time. They were risking their lives to save other's lives. It was tough getting medications like Remdesivir. Ventilators were being rationed. Playing politics with this tragedy is unforgivable.
