Well, Senator Thune, if you don’t trust the judgment of the HHS Secretary, why should the rest of us have to put up with him?

Do your best on Saturday.

Above ALL else stay calm.

It’s going to be so hard.

You’re going to get pissed.

You’re going to want to lash out.

Don’t do it.

Stay together.

Be safe.

If all else fails just walk away.

I don’t want to hear about any of you getting hurt.

Racism is the reason the Voting Rights Act was made into law in the first place!

When were White people ever denied voting rights in America prior to VRA or discriminated against at all?🤔

I'll wait. 🔥☕️

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there.

Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸

Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.
