Just a wild guess, but I’m going to say that cancer research is wildly popular. Again, every Republican in Congress should be met with a wall of questions about whose side they’re on: Elon Musk or kids with leukemia. It’s really that simple.

They are looking for money to cut taxes for big donors, but this is not the place. It’s life and death.

"While pundits have busied themselves over the past 10 days nitpicking Kamala Harris’s campaign, one thing is abundantly clear: She was held to the highest standards of leadership while Trump was held to no standard at all."
