If you want to get rid of T, you have to vote straight Dem ticket.

If you want to change SCOTUS, you have to vote straight
Dem ticket.

If you want America to return to a nation of laws, you have to vote straight Dem ticket.

It's not a choice. It's a requirement.

Can we pause for a second and consider how idiotic these four signatures look? Especially Brockman’s awful initials; my young grandkids can do better!
I mean… there’s nothing intelligent about that man to begin with. So, I am not surprised at all. 😂

I never ever thought I would see such a dangerous unhinged psychopath running the US military. We’ve had some bad ones, but never like this.

Proud of the CDCers who fought to get this vital info out! 30% of our workforce is gone.

Heartbroken by the loss of brilliant scientists, institutional knowledge, & frankly my friends, colleagues, & mentors. An understaffed CDC harms the public & leaves the US vulnerable. Rebuilding will take years

The agency has lost its independence and nearly a third of its staff, as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and associates have tightened control.
