I am outraged by Trump's craven incompetent and dangerous nominees.
Are you going to let him turn sexual harassment and assault into prerequisites for employment in his cabinet? Are you going to let conspiracy theories ruin American health and medicine? Are you going to let pro Putinists wreck our national security? Are you going to let a person with a revenge list politicise the rule of law and our intelligence services? Are you going to let education be ruined?
You should NOT be meeting with a man with tattoos of suspicious organisations, a reputation for alcoholism and sexual harassment and a track record of failure in veterans organisations anywhere near the military. Do NOT treat Pete Hegseth as an appropriate nominee.
Vote NO too on Tulsi Gabbard. She is a pro Putin pro Assadist and hundreds of high level national security personnel have said she is a danger.
Do you know what the consequences of unfluoridated water are? Do you remember polio? Do you remember children will life changing impairments from measles? An anti vax conspiracy theorist should be nowhere near the Department of health. vote no on RFK junior.
If you are not incensed that Trump is nominating people of this low calibre and dangerous propensities you are not doing your job. Please state publicly that you will oppose nominees who endanger the rule of law, national security, and Americans health and well being. Insist o. Probity of character and the reputation of probity for appointments. (That means no prostitute-hiring ex felon for ambassador to Paris, too.)
Learn your economics: trickle down theory has never worked. Tax cuts cause the deficit to grow. It ballooned under Trump. That's a fact.
Another fact is that social security and Medicare and Medicaid form only a tiny fraction of the budget. They are NOT entitlements. They are things people paid into.
Tell your colleagues that you will never agree slashing them.
Ask your colleagues why they want fellow human beings to be poor sick and miserable? Why? Is the cruelty intentional?
Climate destruction is now an existential threat. Do not confirm any nominees who are climate change deniers. Please state publicly that you will refuse them.
