#Voices4Victory #ProudBlue In a little story of too little, too late. Mitch McConnell breaks with the Senate Repugs & votes no on Gabbard & RFK jr. McConnell is the whole reason we are in this mess. Is he trying to repent before he meets his maker? www.whas11.com/article/news...

It's almost more galling that McConnell, who single-handedly could have stopped all this, is now making final feeble pointless no votes. I really despise that guy.

we have learned that GOP Senators (except for McConnell) have literally no standards for who should be a cabinet member. The voted for Hegseth, RFKjr., Gabbard, Noem, etc. Competence and character are no longer a standard for the GOP.

Thanks to the Orange Felon, ICE now has the power to arrest a mother taking her child to school. To detain a patient getting life saving medical treatment. To storm a church during Sunday service. This is the dystopian future Trump promised, and it’s happening right now.

Trump creates and thrives on chaos because then he gets to be the hero who stops it, even if he was the one who started it. He’s an arsonist who puts out a fire then demands a medal for it.
