Todd Blanche privately told anti-abortion supporters the goal is to make Dobbs "permanent in every state." So much for "leave it to the states." The goal has always been a nationwide abortion ban. Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on confirming Blanche for Attorney General: 888-380-2711
Blanche assures anti-abortion supporters that Dobbs will be ‘permanent in every single state’
The acting attorney general made the remarks during a private call with faith leaders.

Our ICU was full of dying Covid patients on ventilators. Half of my med surg unit was a make shift Covid unit. There were times our MD's had to decide who got a ventilator and who didn't. I held hands of of those taking their last breaths.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
I want adequate gun screening policies, laws and assault weapons bans. I want kids to feel safer in schools. I don't give a crap about this alt right wing white supremacist supreme court. They fail to protect everyday Americans.
Brennan Center@brennancenter.org · 2d agoThe Supreme Court has called for more security for itself while issuing decisions that have made it harder for governments to enact gun safety laws. Americans deserve protection, too. Read and subscribe to Major Questions with Jesse Wegman: bit.ly/4fCylCn

I agree with @drsandman11.medsky.social: If you didn't look like this & doing everything you can to prevent people from dying during the pandemic, maybe think twice before judging Dr. Fauci.
The Supreme Court's approval rating just hit an all-time low of 33% It's past time to reform America's highest court. Here's how.

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?
The people who falsely accused an Olympian of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are the same people telling you to trust them about the war with Iran

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
He will never live this down! He is responsible for thousands and thousands of lives! So he’s going after a hero. #Pinks #USDemocracy
Conservative ‘men’ have spent months hyperventilating over a Trans person and a Black woman being cast in a movie. These ‘men’ also support child marriages and worship a pedophile.
Congress cannot stay silent. Tell your representative to stand up now and fight this devastating attack. l

The Trump administration is moving to gut public lands. Millions of acres of outdoor recreation areas, critical wildlife habitat and important archaeological and cultural sites are now at risk.

The cyclosporiasis outbreak appears to be the largest ever recorded in the United States, and members of Congress are now demanding answers from the CDC about whether staffing cuts, hiring freezes, and agency reorganization affected the federal response.
This is some kind of karmic justice imho, if the source of the cyclospora outbreak originated in Mexico from Taylor Farms.

Trump just shrunk Bears Ears by 91% and Grand Staircase-Escalante by 90%. Bears Ears was the first national monument co-managed by tribes. Five tribes spent years building that partnership. It's been walked back. 100,000+ archeological sites now exposed to mining and drilling.
