Republicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.
Your groceries need a hazmat team, but sure, let’s hold another hearing about masks.

This is who the Repub led Senate wants to confirm as the US AG in the next couple days. It’s not about following laws—it’s about controlling women and girls with no regard to health outcomes. WE ARE NOT OUTRAGED ENOUGH! We need to flip 4 Senate seats. Please help get out the VOTE in NOV!
CMS is ending Medicare's Part D premium stabilization subsidy after 2026. Standalone drug plans could see big premium hikes in 2027, putting 25M seniors in traditional Medicare at risk. Review your plan during Open Enrollment Oct 15! #RepublicanMedicareCuts

1/ 🧵 The Trump administration has spent over a year blaming immigrants for healthcare fraud. Well, blaming immigrants for everything. The government's own inspector general report tells a very different story, and immigrants are not mentioned in it once. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
1/ Republicans are running a psych operation on Democrats. They warn us not to nominate populists. But leaked GOP memos prove they’re actually terrified of populist candidates. Trump said it himself: Bernie was the one he didn’t want to face. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
The most absurd thing is Tillis is going to vote for him. He calls out the worst corruption I history and then he will vote to continue it. Tillis is a coward. So glad he is leaving. Voting the rest out is the only way to end it. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/Av8R0OoolR52...

In other words, going from a constitutional right (Roe) to a constitutional state by state decision (Dobbs) to a constitutional rule of no abortions. What is the DOJ/legal underpinning for that? There isn't one. Ladies & Gentlemen, your lawless soon-to-be AG. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
