Please, NO MORE Dr. Birx! Please!
Like her coronavirus task force colleague Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx wants to continue fighting the pandemic after President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office in January. But unlike Fauci, Birx has not yet been offered a spot in the next administration, and it’s unclear that she ever will be.

Republicans have never cared about states' rights for elections. In 2000 Jeb Bush stepped over his own Florida Supreme Court and went straight to the US Supreme Court to stop the vote counting. 

It was a power grab then and it is a power grab now.

That's why I started AllHatNoCattle on December 14, 2000, because I wanted every vote to be counted.

And here we are back at square one almost 20 years later.
