We aren't. When will Dem leaders organize rallies and marches?

Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.

Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID.

If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.

Rep. Jason Crow @crow.house.gov · 6d

Here are the FACTS. House Republicans have:

Worked 12 days since August.

Voted to cut Medicaid & take away health care.

Tried unsuccessfully to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Failed to stop huge premium increases.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6d

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

Trump is now saying the quiet part out loud—

He wants to decide who gets to speak.

He wants to determine who is an enemy of the state.

Free speech is under attack. Now is the time for every American to speak out.

Colorado families soon will see huge increases in their health insurance premiums.

If folks can't afford care, that's life and death.

Congress must act NOW.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

"CDC is over": RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre

Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

Why are the Democrats always to blame for the horrors of the Trump Republicans? It's like asking a woman what did you do to get him to hit you? Let's blame who deserves the blame.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed he’d get away with it
No one believed he’d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted he’d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

I was informed today that a lot of special needs / disabled girls and women are put on birth control by family members because they are at risk for being raped by men. That thought never even crossed my mind, that is so vile.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

No Christian could support this kind of un-Biblical waste that ignores the needs of families James 2:15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.
