Dear Murkowski, Thune, Collins, Tillis, Ernst, Cassidy, Capito,

When the ICEStapo shatters glass on a baby in a car seat… and pulls a zip-tie tight on a child’s hands… and throws a woman to the ground…

Those are your hands doing the harm EVERY time in EVERY place.

You have failed as humans.

Feeling discouraged or hopeless about the state of things?

I'm curious why @fetterman.senate.gov doesn't quit? It's clear he hates the job and wants to be home. Let the state get an interested party in the role

This is the part that jumped right out to me. Getting the job "not because hire Debi first, but the best". A female (who has been let go) WAS THE BEST and because she was finally chosen WAS THE FIRST. They are not mutually exclusive. God I hate these people.

In one day, Mike Johnson protected the child-rapists of the Epstein Files; while Pete Hegseth honored the child-killers of Wounded Knee.

And that’s MAGA Christianity. They simply removed all those woke tiresome Jesus parts.

#218. and also a woman. And also Latina. So the racism and misogyny in addition to Epstein files. All the things.

Indeed it would take great bravery to applaud the utter nonsense being spewed.
