If you are a good human being who believes that a person’s private medical, bodily, and family size decisions should not be made by government, vote for Democrats.

If you’re not registered to vote, get registered. If you allow Republicans to continue to make political decisions, you will be a target in some way.

Since the beginning of the Biden administration, I've been pushing HHS to extend ACA, Medicaid, and CHIP access to DACA recipients who were unfairly excluded.

Today, the admin. announced that DACA recipients will soon be eligible for the same care as their neighbors. Thank you, President Biden, for this welcome news and for providing DACA recipients with access to the affordable care they need.

Harlan Crow paid Thomas for property.

The law explicitly requires disclosure of property sales.

Thomas didn't disclose anything.

Here's Thomas' signature on the undisclosed deal.

Harlan Crow Bought Property from Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.

The transaction is the first known instance of money flowing from Crow to the Supreme Court justice. The sale netted the GOP megadonor two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ mother was living.

"Tastes like freedom".
Ok so what is freedom if not the freedom of association, the freedom of a company to partner with an actress and social media influencer and the freedom of a transgender American to live their life?
Oh right, I forgot Republicans believe freedom is only for white heterosexuals.

Ultra Right beer launches as rival to Bud Light | Fox News Video

Bud Light's recent partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney has driven one Republican, Seth Weathers, to launch his very own beer that's specifically marketed to conservatives. (Seth Weathers via Twitter)

It's honestly offensive that we're being asked to believe that Clarence Thomas is somehow a brilliant legal mind capable of deciding the thorniest legal cases in the country as a Supreme Court justice, while also being utterly confounded by basic ethics rules.

Conservative snowflakes: "AAAAAH! BOYCOTT BUDWEISER!"
