Because he's fucking dying and only there on borrowed time that he believes was his because he lived long enough to earn the position of geriatric cadaver leading congress
It's a little bit of a weird choice to post cringe content of old people looking old at the same time that Elon's praetorian guard of teenage groypers are seizing the machinery of the state.
I've been following Connolly for awhile (or at least checking if he was among the Aye votes on some horrible piece of legislation in the news; to his credit, he never was) since I used to live in his district, & I really hate to see him like this. He should have retired -
- to focus on spending time with his family and treatment for cancer. He's been one of the better Democrats in the House for years, and this might be all he is remembered for
sorry but that is the only way (color) his staff must use to convince regular ppl with few working brain cells (not politicians) that he is alive. I think he died peacefully in 2004 surrounded with his loved ones but Democratic Est. voted not to accept his "resignation"
It’s because of all the mental energy the establishment left put into making sure this guy for the House Oversight Committee job instead of the amazing @aoc.bsky.social
I feel bad for him having cancer. It’s a terrible disease.
However, he deliberately deceived his constituents about his health. That is selfish and unacceptable. It has severe consequences for the country in a time of need.
He has esophageal cancer. Don’t be an asshole.
Advanced cancer can lead to poor circulation, causing the skin to appear bluish or purplish (cyanosis).
Certain treatments can cause skin discoloration, including redness, darkening, or purplish tones.
He's being treated for cancer of the esophagus. Probably getting radiation treatments could be a side effect or bad circulation. Long term survival is not very good.
This happens to me often on my fingers, largely because of a medical condition called Systemic Sclerosis. The face though? Woof. That's.... Not great man.
Appreciate it! I've had to have a few surgeries due to wounds on my fingertips but hanging in there overall. It's certainly not the funnest, but manageable so far ❤️
Assuring 76 year old and suffering from esophageal cancer Man takes a position of power vs a woman who is overly qualified and 35 shows you how Petty and evil pelosi is.
Fuck you pelosi, fuck you and your inability to let go of power.
Term and age limits are needed immediately in us politics
Term and age limits are excuses for a LAZY electorate. I would explain in detail right now, but I have a headache setting in
If you think things through- you'll come to see the doubled edged sword it is you are asking for. The edge you don't want to think about is far worse than the one you know
Term limits have clear downsides, but what is this “double-edged sword” regarding age limits? Age minimums already exists for congress and the presidency. Why not maximums?
Uh ok, what does that have to do with anything? You said term limits and age limits are a double-edged sword and some weird thing about the edge we don’t think about. What are you talking about? What is the downside to age limits? Do you actually have a point, cuz you sound full of shit
clearly, you may not be paying attention. Who the hell do you think has been most responsible for getting small donations to where they are in many more progressive campaigns?
He's now finally getting wider respect in the minds of people that ignored him before - he's still a leading voice
Chuck Grassley is 91!
What person in their 90s can't just relax and enjoy their last few years vs clinging to power & their corporate donors?
All of them cling to power because they know nothing other than greed.
So you think it's worth it to let ppl in their 80s and 90s make decisions for a nation
I'd say that person's party is being protectionist, but they get away with it because not enough people in opposition to the theatrics are getting pissed off, and staying pissed off long enough to remove those barriers.
It's on the opposition to EXCITE the electorate to steadfastly reject the ...
No one said it was easy. I still run into many adults who don't even pay attention at all. Or, to the extent that they do - it's 2nd hand from Dick at the office or Bubba Stu at the plant.
Pulling more of them in would be great
The dems campaign messaging was insipid. I'm not putting
Weird, my phone jumbled words moving them around lol.

To all the people shading Ken, please remember that Dems promoted this guy over AOC. I feel bad that he has cancer but he should step aside. Having cancer at 70+ is very different from having cancer when you’re 40. Time to reprioritize.
It’s actually a bit cruel for the party to place him in this position with his diagnosis. They should have encouraged him to rest and be with his family.
I THINK Ken’s point is that this guy should be retired and resting, spending time with his family. Not in this extra demanding position that requires more. It’s bad for him and us.
Will never forgive Dems for utterly bungling us into fascism.
When I start getting emails regarding donating 3 months out from the mid-terms (if we even get to have them) I will be replying with some form of, "you did this to us."

Now I remember why I unfollowed you back in the day.
Oh. Wait…
Silver is antibiotic. Doesn’t mean eating and drinking large amounts of bio available silver makes you healthy.
They're liches.

Get out of the way.
What are we doing?!
I wish you the best of luck with yours. 💜

Mental competency and age are two entirely different things
By your desired measurement Bernie would be disqualified
If you can't figure it out, you're far dimmer than you think you are
You DO NOT know how any replacement is going to be, how steadfast. Or a coward speaking what has to be said to win, and then caving?
I'll take the proven spine

They had NOTHING great for the working but strapped. Often earnest people make decent wages but could never qualify for a mortgage to get a 25K cred
