@rbreich He makes Gaetz sound competent. That sound you heard was his dad and uncles turning in their graves.

Here's to praying we have enough bureaucratic inertia to limit irreparable harms until progressives can reorganize and fight effectively!

@rbreich
Absolutely devastating news.

@rbreich

What are you guys doing over there!! And what sort of world are we going to end up with??!

As far back as Reagan, the GOP has been guided by two goals: Deregulation and Privatization. Now they are throwing away everything that stands in the way of those goals.

@rbreich while I agree that RFKjr should be opposed, I don't agree with the reasons that Conservative National Review editor Philip Klein opposes RFKjr for HHS.

Klein criticized RFK Jr.’s pro-abortion stance and support for government healthcare.

Please note: Rose Kennedy-mother of President Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, SR. & all their siblings-kept a card file filled w detailed information about each child's vaccinations. The Kennedy children never suffered from polio or measles or any other deadly diseases b/c they received all those childhood vaccines. Now--w/o any medical/scientific training--RFKJr. wants to do away with them for all other children. SHAME on him & on trump (who also probably received childhood vaccinations).

@rbreich

My governor (Jared Polis) is stoked for this and it is very disappointing 😞

@rbreich Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a well-known politician and human rights activist with significant differences in his political positions from Trump. Unlikely.
@rbreich Finally! Proof that if a worm devours most of your brain you can still function at a seemingly reasonably high level. No other word for it - the TSS #Trump’sScheißshow

@rbreich

Putting total morons in positions of powers always ends well.

In Valencia it went so well, I'm not surprised the US is doing the same, but in spades.
