8. Cassidy's vote would not have been needed if Dems held the Senate.

When we lost the Senate, the House, and the White House the Republicans gained the power to do anything they want. Especially because the U.S. Supreme Court is now majority white nationalists.

Now Cassidy, Tillis, and some other Republicans who are retiring are wringing their hands about their votes approving Trump's vile crooked nominees, but the damage is done.

Help get us out of this situation. Vote for the Democratic candidate in every race, up and down the ballot, this November. Tell all your friends to do the same.
