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. Image 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.)

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 2/ In 2016, 8 months before the election, President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to replace deceased Conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. Mitch McConnell blocked hearings because the GOP controlled the Senate, and Trump ultimately filled the seat in 2017 with Neil Gorsuch.

1/ To celebrate Memorial Day, Sen Tommy Tuberville, who actually identifies as a Coach, will continue to block ALL military promotions because the DOD pays travel expenses for some enlisted women who live in states that restrict abortions.

thehill.com/opinion/nation… Image 2/ Tuberville’s abuse of this Senatorial “prerogative” is not only disruptive to the military families who need to plan their relocations, but it also threatens national security. This from a guy who doesn’t know what the three branches of government are.

#SOTU 🧵
1/ This was an amazing speech, period. Many will speak to the iconic moments, such as when Biden turned the tables on the GOP and made them commit to protecting SS and Medicare, but my focus here will be on the many things Dems stood for while McCarthy remained seated… 2/ I’m sure I didn’t catch every time McCarthy declined to stand, but the list was long, so this should more than capture at least the general flavor:

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