So if you suddenly try to break into Congress to murder the VP you've supported for 4 years because he won't break the law and the police shoot you, your family gets 5 million dollars? Do I have that right, humans?

Today is unfortunately a good reminder of just how depraved many Trump supporters are. It should be the easiest thing in the world to just wish someone well in light of a devastating health diagnosis. That they can't even meet that very low bar says a lot about their character.

If @msnbc is going to have random physicians who have never treated Biden speculating about him, maybe they can find some to speculate about Trump’s apparent medical issues.

Joe Biden, you’re gonna beat this cancer. You’re a great man with a strong spirit, and you have a family that loves and supports you, not to mention tens of millions of us grateful for your steady, principled leadership.

Doug and I are saddened to learn of President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis. We are keeping him, Dr. Biden, and their entire family in our hearts and prayers during this time.

I just wish we had one president whose life mission was to make sure all Americans have access to lifesaving treatments that are possible & only restricted by prohibitive expense. I’ve spent time in St. Jude’s Cancer Center. Families are going into lifetime debt to buy loved ones a little more time

In our entire history only one President got our credit downgraded in both his terms AND got us added to the Human Rights Watch List.

In Georgia, women’s bodies are merely human incubators. Just ask Adriana Smith’s family. My latest piece on Substack katiephang.substack.com/p/just-a-ves...

The🥄 available to me today: less than 1/8 of a teaspoon. AND: Seeing Gus Walz took me back to his absolutely beautiful show of love, pride, joy when his father walked onto the stage as our Vice Presidential nominee. Letting myself relive that moment gives me the hope to take one more step forward.

A Georgia mother is being forced to keep her brain-dead daughter alive because she’s pregnant and Georgia’s abortion laws are archaic. They’re forcing the family to pay to keep this woman alive — with an unviable baby — against their will. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The brain dead woman being forced to be an incubator for a fetus is horrifying enough… But we need to talk about the fact that if the baby survives, they’ll likely have severe disabilities The government is trying to cut Medicaid for this exact scenario Force the birth, refuse to insure the child

RFK seems to have lied to Congress a lot

RFK Jr. said this morning that his personal views on vaccines are “irrelevant”. They certainly should be. However, since this numpty took a job leading HHS, for which he is wholly unqualified, they have become acutely relevant. #PublicHealthMalpractice

The Republican tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse. It would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich through a single law in our entire history. Stop this bill.

We’ve got “ongoing diplomatic negotiations” with whom exactly?! I’m sure those “negotiations” do NOT include getting Kilmar Abrego Garcia back on US soil…

#Uninsured #Cancer patient can get treatment, please call the closest cancer center near you (I don’t know how long their funding will hold, particularly public funding). Please do not give up hope! Many cancer charities can help you find help! Do NOT allow people in your life to money shame you!
