   In 2017, my friend Dr. Shalon Irving died just 3 weeks after giving birth to her daughter, Soleil. Dr. Shalon’s life and story have inspired my work in Congress to address our nation’s Black maternal health crisis, including today’s introduction of the #Momnibus. #BHM pic.twitter.com/B2sW6JDwyb

   One Los Angeles native said nearly every member of her family was infected with Covid-19. Her mother, a food-factory worker, died of the coronavirus. "She wanted to be vaccinated. She was planning to retire in March."https://t.co/QeNPYm9iwU

   Trump and Netanyahu were buddies as long as each thought he could get something from the other. Trump did admire Netanyahu's ability to keep his followers in line and Netanyahu wanted Trump to keep pumping out favors (e.g. Trump declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel).

    My money’s still on the Spawn of Satan’s Valet.

    Trump Jr. says he will campaign against Liz Cheney in Wyoming in revenge for her attacks on his father after Trump loyalists fail to get her booted from GOP leadership

    Donald Trump Jr. will go to Wyoming to campaign against Liz Cheney

    ‘I hear it’s lovely during primary season,’ he told Politico’s Playbook

    Cheney was one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach President Donald Trump Wyoming’s primary isn’t until August 2022 but Trump Jr is sending a warning sign his family won’t forget those who were disloyal
    His warning also comes as Senate prepares to start impeachment trial Tuesday

    Cheney has been under fire from conservatives since her impeachment vote

    She survived a challenge and remained a member of GOP leadership in House

    But she was censured by Wyoming state party and already faces one primary challenger with more mulling a run against her

    Tom Brady walked into the stadium, maskless. Tom’s company, TB12, took $960K in PPP loans. Shortly after, Tom purchased a yacht. And Tom supported Trump. I don’t see how anyone can look past Tom’s awful behavior and root for him. He’s a great athelete. But a terrible human being.

      Truth. I strongly suspect that Biden always knew there was an ice cube’s chance in hell that a Republican would support his agenda. But he had to go through the steps. Now we know that the Republicans in Congress will continue their obstructionism, if not ramp it up, and the GOP will work on voter suppression for the midterms.
