But the only way this happens is if we pass the American Rescue Plan and dramatically scale up vaccinations. https://t.co/gG2EjSCmPc
The former guy and Melania got vaccinated before they left the White House, but hid it from the American people. Because why help anyone but yourself?!!https://t.co/4HA3hc8Rhc

CPAC and its embrace of Trump made it abundantly clear what so many of us have been saying.

The GOP is no longer a party with an actual ideology or platform, but an incredibly dangerous fascist movement obsessed with power and the pursuit of profit.https://t.co/XoFDpkfmgZ
