While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.
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.

When you see maga degrading Dr Fauci remind them Trump awarded Dr. Anthony Fauci a Presidential Commendation on 1/19/21. Trump claims he doesn't know who gave Fauci presidential award. It was him. Issuing a Presidential Commendation requires official approval & sign-off from the president. #Pinks
John Larson is Social Security's #1 champion in the U.S. House! He is going to make billionaires pay their fair share. That's why the billionaires are so desperate to defeat him — and why we need to make sure they fail.
John Larson@johnlarsonct.bsky.social · 6d agoI'm proud to stand with labor and social security advocates to send a clear message to Luke Bronin and the billionaires: we’ll stand up to anyone who tries to undermine workers' rights, wages & benefits.
Here’s the thing about Trump and MAGA. They never smear people who are actually corrupt. Those people get complements, jobs, contracts or pardons. If Trump and MAGA are smearing you, you may not be perfect, but you probably have some level of integrity that they really can’t handle.
The Editorial Board@editorialboard.bsky.social · last wk.Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.
Republicans want to rewrite the history of COVID just like they want to rewrite the history of January 6th and the ongoing reality of climate change. They refuse to accept that they or their ideas could be the villain of the story. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Anthony Fauci’s high-profile Senate hearing: what we learned
Six years on from Covid crisis, Republicans still politicizing science – and Fauci remains a political punching bag

People deny this actually happened while insisting that their cousin's manicurist's nephew had myocarditis from the vaccine.
My strongest sense memory of March and April 2020 is hearing ambulance sirens every 15 minutes. The quiet plus the sirens.
In California the cremations were so frequent we got air quality alerts. I diligently kept tabs on the death counts and there were days in January 2021 where 75 people died in one day in Orange County. 75!
“When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people, you’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please.’” Donald Trump, June 20, 2020
It was the largest mass casualty event in U.S. history, even eclipsing the Civil War. The Republicans are in no position to criticize Fauci.

Disappointed in number of stories about Fauci that neglected to point out that the attacks on him are part of an on-going effort by Trump and GOP to distract from their catastrophic mismanagement of the pandemic, mismanagement estimated to have caused hundreds of thousands of unnecessary US deaths.
@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: Republicans attacking Anthony Fauci is 'one of the darkest days in our Senate's history’ #LastWord
Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

As I have commented before: Dr Fauci arrived at Wolf Trap with the most elaborate security detail I've ever seen. When I asked why, he told me that there were already at that time 2 people in jail for threats on his life-- ie, tried and convicted of a genuine attempt to kill him.

Rand Paul is grilling Dr. Fauci for his work during COVID. Pay attention. This is a really good preview of how the Trump administration will handle THE NEXT PANDEMIC. They won’t handle it. They will ignore it and try to pray it away. Pay attention, folks! Don’t say no one warned you!
The Democratic mainstream platform does not endorse DSA. The DSA is a separate party. The GOP has extreme views, encapsulated in MAGA and Project 2025 and those are indeed endorsed by POTUS47 and nearly everyone in the GOP
Jessica Tarlov@jessicatarlov.bsky.social · last wk.The GOP is acting like the most extreme DSA positions like abolishing prisons are mainstream Democratic policies when they themselves run away from the most extreme GOP positions like they’re the plague.
Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Trump’s extended posting spree yesterday suggests that he’s literally *psychotic.* But the press is too terrified or timid to report that.
We’re pushing a month since Elon Musk was quoting from The Turner Diaries, and every single mainstream news and political figure has maintained an active account on his platform, enriching him.
