I got two daughters not quite old enough to take this yet. If captain brainworm causes this vaccine to get pulled, he is actively putting my children at risk of cancer.

They should try it. Whatever Trump and his cronies do, try the same thing. When pressure is put on them, try the same moves on those you're emulating. The least they could do to benefit the American people would be to bring the government to a grinding halt. Our current pace and trajectory is terrifying.

The key problem is that whether he is confirmed depends entirely on whether the Republicans all vote to confirm him. The most that the Democrats can actually do is make a bunch of noise.

The democrats had two years of total control to do anything they wanted for the future and chose to do very very little. That lost them elections and power. This is just the result.
