1/ While Paul Alexander lived an inspirational life despite Polio relegating him to an iron lung, this serves as a reminder that reckless people like faux Presidential candidate RFK Jr & FL Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, would happily allow preventable diseases to make comebacks. 2/ Paul’s story is a positive one for those interested in reading here. Next we return to the insidious forces trying to take us back to the dark ages… (No seriously, these people are fvcking sinister.) apnews.com/article/1c3201…

1/ These SCOTUS decisions are showing in real time the profound impacts that voting (and not voting) have on our country. While we can’t change the past, we better learn for the future, or this will just be the beginning. Let’s quickly review how we got here. #FreshWords

- Job Creation
- Preserving democracy
- Bipartisan bills
- Building a strong middle class
- 50-year low unemployment
