It bears noting that did ALL 3.
(restricted Vote by Mail, has , and regularly purges the voter roll (I believe after every 5-6 years.)

The state limited drop boxes to one per county... including Harris County's 4.5 million people (home to 's 2M people)... to a single drop box at Reliant Stadium on the SW side of town.

Your periodic reminder that Medicare For All would save $450 billion in health care costs and 68,000 lives per year.

From fearmongering "Government " (while ignoring Bureaucrat Death Panels), keeping legal (while ignoring ), Ignoring , and overturning ... it's pretty clear they DON'T want to save lives.

I think their true agenda is "".

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all Republican partisan hacks.

Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.

Dems must do this the moment they gain back control of Congress.

4 years ago today, Dr. Fauci contradicted Trump's claim that Covid would magically go away before the fall. After that, Fauci was sidelined from public briefings & barred from speaking to press.

During the greatest national crisis of our time, all Trump cared about was his ego

It bugs the hell out of me that NO ONE ever asked while he was in office to defend his criticism of 's handling of the outbreak while pointing out just how much worse of a job he did (mis)handling .

Tweet from Donald J. Trump, Mar 5, 2020: Gallup just gave us the highest rating ever for the way we are handling the CoronaVirus situation. The April 2009-10 Swine Flu, where nearly 13,000 people died in the U.S., was poorly handled. Ask MSDNC & lightweight Washington failure @RonaldKlain, who the President was then?

    Big Oil claims we have to choose between the economy & the environment.

    Rubbish! Investing in clean energy creates good jobs that can't be outsourced.

    Failing to address climate will wreck the economy, as extreme weather will increasingly destroy crops, homes, and our health.

    Your Earth Day reminder that Trump was terrible for the planet, rolling back more than 100 regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals

    No wonder he’s received millions in donations from Big Oil.

    It's head-shaking childishness stupidity from that makes me more & more certain that his support isn't anywhere as great as the (and pollsters) would have us believe.

    There is simply NO WAY this senile man-child whose comic ineptitude crashed the global economy, cost more American lives in just 11 months than every American war of the 20th century due to dismissing a , and now facing 91 FELONY indictments has GAINED support since his 2020 loss.
