Daily reminder that we don’t have a president. We have a mob boss masquerading as one.
Here's what I think about how Marco Rubio is doing:
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
"Nations do not die from invasion; they die from internal rottenness." ~ Abraham Lincoln
A president threatening senators who’ve stopped being afraid, a senator who won’t speak for his own daughter, and a health agency raising drug costs in an election year — this is what a party looks like when it’s spent everything it had on loyalty and has nothing left to offer anyone else.
Doctor here-Story time: I received a call today from a sick friend in another state, & I recognized it as a neurological emergency sent him to ER. Likely diagnosis: Giant Cell (Temporal) Arteritis, which can cause blindness. 1 of the authors of original 1990 diagnostic criteria: Anthony Fauci MD🙌🏻🫡
“The president and first lady seemed totally unfazed about whether there was an abuser—another abuser—in their workplace. There was no follow-up from either of them to see if I needed help or protection. There was no investigation ordered. No effort to get to the bottom of this ....
Countries where it’s illegal to criticize the president: • Iran • China • Russia • North Korea • The United States
It's all about priorities. The tech bros gave politicians a lot of money.
If I was this stupid and incompetent, I would be out of a job... just saying.

Hinojosa: That is Greg Abbott’s record. That’s why the polling shows people want change. They know Greg Abbott. They know he’s been there 12 years, and they will not elect him to another four. That’s the opportunity we have in this election.
Senate leaders on Wednesday sent a strongly worded letter to the nation’s regulator of buses that oversees transportation safety. The move comes after a @wbur.org and ProPublica report found dozens of fatal crashes missing from the federal safety record:
Senators Push Federal Regulator to Prove School Bus Safety Data Is Accurate
The request from two Democratic lawmakers comes after WBUR and ProPublica found that the federal safety record was missing dozens of fatal crashes involving one of the nation’s largest public transit ...

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.
Hard to keep track of the number of times he's declared victory in his illegal war-of-choice. #86-47
RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP. Watch what they do, not what they say. –Rachel Maddow
As Measles cases hit a 35 year high, as a senseless war rages on with no exit plan, as gas climbs to record highs, and the Epstein files remain secret, the U.S. Senate is holding a hearing today to yell at Dr. Fauci and again push horse dewormer on the American public.
