Everyone should call Senator Cassidy right now - 202-224-5824. And plea with him to stop this nomination. Does he want his legacy to be a physician who knew better and could’ve stopped a nutcase from harming the health of all Americans by his 1 vote and didn’t. He needs to do the right thing.

watchlady.bsky.social•97 days ago

I just did that, I got the machine. I bet they're flooded with calls

gettingeducated.bsky.social•97 days ago

American cowards who get into government to take care of their people and only take care of themselves….clean sweep in order!

bvanstone.bsky.social•97 days ago

"Wariness"? Seriously? The guy's a lunatic

batt46.bsky.social•97 days ago

He will cave

deedle21.bsky.social•97 days ago

"Wariness". Another word for "until Trump calls him out".

jaxsb.bsky.social•97 days ago

No one who cares about people has any business voting to confirm this dangerous man. Listen to his cousin.

markforreal.bsky.social•97 days ago

He'll fold like a cheap suit

themrneutron.bsky.social•97 days ago

Do better America, FFS.

darwynne.bsky.social•97 days ago

First do no harm.
Don't confirm him.

kitchenquarantine.bsky.social•97 days ago

Oh, if any of the #GOPSenators had any balls.⚽️ 🏀 🏈

profdfhesq.bsky.social•97 days ago

"Wariness"
We're worried about dying over here, @reuters.com
Surely you can do better than these flabby headlines.

schmeccadoodle.bsky.social•97 days ago

He's going to be confirmed because, checks notes, we have a government full of spineless cowards who don't give two shits about the American people.

cajunasfuck.bsky.social•97 days ago

Pretty sure he will cave in the end., he is a Republican.

agewell.bsky.social•97 days ago

This MD/Senator represents a state that ranks 46th in the nation for healthcare. Forget the do no harm oath. That he's not a definite no should be enough to revoke his MD license .

primpeterson.bsky.social•97 days ago

If he votes to confirm, he should never be referred to as a Dr again in his life time. He took an oath and will definitely be turning his back on it if he votes for this crack pot. We’ll find out if following the Trump Train will take precedence over the Hippocratic Oath. Hypocrisy in action people!

username900000.bsky.social•97 days ago

I wonder what color the dump truck that unloads the piles of cash on his lawn will be

noreen900.bsky.social•97 days ago

Do the right thing Sen. Cassidy.

cabineditor.bsky.social•97 days ago

Dangerous. Vote no.

sweetbirdoftruth.bsky.social•97 days ago

The phrase "...may hinge on a Republican Senator..." sends a shiver down the spine.

slpage63.bsky.social•97 days ago

Oh well we are sunk-the republicans have no care for Americans health. I swear they’re trying to cut the population in half.

wanderer3147.bsky.social•96 days ago

Senator Bill Cassidy-LA has just caved to the pressures of MAGA. So much for his oaths of office and his medical profession. Shame on him.

travishampton.bsky.social•97 days ago

How the hell could anyone be on the fence? Either you want to vote in chaos or you know it’s a terrible idea. Nut up or shut up.

cherubinitalia.bsky.social•97 days ago

frolickinggadfly.bsky.social•97 days ago

Oh please. Do you honestly think Cassidy is going to defy the wishes of King DonOld and vote against his brain worm-ravaged HHS nominee? When will the media pull their collective heads out of their asses and acknowledge that personal courage and integrity are dead in the conservative movement?

trukforever.bsky.social•97 days ago

Oh is he CONCERNED too?

ekjordan.bsky.social•97 days ago

Bill Cassidy is supposedly as pro-science as Republicans can get, but his allegiance is much greater to tRUmp than it is to science or even the laws our nation is founded on.

cherubinitalia.bsky.social•97 days ago

Don’t sit back. Even if you’re not his constituent. call Senator Cassidy right now at 202-224-5824. And pleawith him to stop this nomination. Does he want his legacy to be a physician who could’ve stopped a nutcase from harming the health of all Americans by his 1 vote and didn’t?

HOW IS THIS REAL???

abitaskew.bsky.social•97 days ago

Buck up Senators and just say no!

goblin-general.bsky.social•96 days ago

he pretended to have “concerns” but fell in line like those feckless cowards always do

sleepyheadlife.bsky.social•97 days ago

Over here praying he hasn't completely sold his soul and does the right thing

cici40241.bsky.social•97 days ago

If just one republican would care about the American people instead of being in trumps favor!

mixmitt.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yes. They’ve all abandoned morals for power.

schigaga60.bsky.social•97 days ago

Senator Cassidy, stay strong!

iamkevinb.bsky.social•97 days ago

Hope the new strain of bird flu is kind to you, and good luck, you are going to need it.

hoosiermom.bsky.social•97 days ago

I am constantly baffled by the number of Republican Senators who either lack a brain; a spine, or both.

cameraguy516.bsky.social•97 days ago

Maybe Cassidy will do a McCain?

debra.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yuck. I had to go to Twitter to tell Cassidy what a sellout he is.

qalataqa-qelly.bsky.social•96 days ago

You know, he murdered that bear cub….you KNOW he did!

qalataqa-qelly.bsky.social•96 days ago

Any DOCTOR that confirms this unqualified wackjob grifter should have their diplomas burned!

haleyho.bsky.social•97 days ago

Any doctor who votes for this guy should lose his license

cherubinitalia.bsky.social•97 days ago

ekjordan.bsky.social•97 days ago

He will never practice medicine again since he was elected. If for some strange reason that Louisiana's voters voted for someone else, his next job will be at some right-wing "think" tank or superpac funded organization.

greatgenes.bsky.social•97 days ago

Call me cynical, but “expressed wariness” is a red herring…

#polsky #uspolitics #RFKJr #Fraud

willyloman1949.bsky.social•97 days ago

He will be confirmed like the other incompetent confirmations

If they confirmed an alcoholic woman beater, he is a shoe in.

Treason 45

disillusionedone.bsky.social•96 days ago

Then it’s a done deal, if the nation has to rely on a cowardly Republican. Every single one of the GOP is scared of Trump.

trixxyil.bsky.social•97 days ago

“Has expressed wariness”. We have to hang our hopes on that. A real live doctor is wary of making a man with NO medical training (but many questions and strong inklings about medicine) head of HHS.
Profiteering and grift will rule the day. Payoffs and kickbacks for approvals.
Wary is not enough.

cherubinitalia.bsky.social•97 days ago

Don’t sit back. Call Sen Cassidy right now - 202-224-5824. And plea with him to stop this nomination. Ask him if he wants his legacy to be a physician who could’ve stopped a nutcase from harming the health of all Americans by his 1 vote and didn’t? He vowed to do no harm as a position.

ptsky.bsky.social•97 days ago

They just keep getting oranger.
