Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
Bill Cassidy is a doctor. He practiced for 30 years before he went into politics. Politics seems to encourage doctors like Cassidy and Rand Paul to abandon any inclination to do good and instead let power and greed eat them alive.

Today’s show trial broke my heart. For Dr. Fauci, for us as a country formerly respecting and practicing the best science, and for our form of government that is morphing into something we previously fought to crush.

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

I was wondering if anyone was keeping a running total on Trump’s waste and abuse. You have to check out this video. And there’s so much, I bet you forgot about some of it: 💰Ballroom: $1 billion project, taxpayers already on the hook for $300 mill 💰 J6 Slush Fund: $1.776 billion for his rioters 🧵
I say the same thing about the trump family of crooks and psychopaths every single day. Thank you, ray. And fuck this guy too.
