🧵
My pregnant wife called me at work, she said — Something Is Wrong.
She was distraught.
She said she was heading to our OB/GYN. I told her I’d meet her there.
Guys … this isn’t just a women’s fight. This is our fight too.
We have wives, significant others, sisters & daughters. We have an obligation to fight with them.
What I know now is, a D&C is a medical procedure — also known as an abortion.
I now understand how abortion is healthcare.
I also realize, now, we were actually lucky.
We were lucky to live in a state where abortion in legal.
We didn’t have to wait until my wife’s life was in imminent danger, or where sepsis irrevocably damaged her reproductive system.
We also didn’t have to drive to another state.
I realize, now, we were so lucky to use IVF when we did, because the ChristoFascists are now trying to make IVF illegal too.
After they ban abortions & IVF, they’re coming after birth control next.
We were on pins and needles when we went to our first ultrasound. Hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst.
We now have a healthy, kind and intelligent daughter. She is the most amazing kid.
Several years later, we scraped every dollar we had, borrowed more, and paid a wonderful IVF doctor.
IVF was a roller coaster ride of tests, procedures and emotions.
The OB/GYN did an ultrasound. He looked distressed. He compassionately gave us the heartbreaking news.
Our unborn child had no heartbeat. He explained, it was necessary to have something he called a D&C.
This, he explained, was critical for my wife’s health.
@UROCKlive1
Thank you for your kind words.
I don’t think my wife’s story is uncommon. I just think most women (and men) kept their pain private.
That’s not an option anymore.

Now you see one of the reasons why Zeldin is a terrible lawyer.
He gets flustered easy. Especially, when questioned by a intelligent woman.

I guess the kid saw a Drag Show & read a Banned Book; which caused him to become a vandal 🤔

🛑NEW: This reporting is probably making the Nassau & Suffolk GOP very nervous.
The corrupt connections between Lee Zeldin, Tina Forte, Nancy Marks, Michelle Bond, FTX, other GOP cronies & their foot-soldiers w/ the Long Island Loud Majority are obvious.
@RepLeeZeldin
I have met Lee Zeldin, one-on-one, with a group in his LI Senate Office, in Albany, at public meetings, at debates & on tv.
I can say unequivocally, Lee Zeldin is NO Adam Schiff.
Zeldin could only dream of being as good a lawyer, a speaker or man!

@RepLeeZeldin
There is literally nothing in Zeldin‘s tweet that is true.
Plus, it’s beneath the decorum of a sitting United States Congressman to use ad hominem slurs, as Zeldin uses against his colleague Adam Schiff.

@IlhanOmar
I’m old enough to remember when Zeldin’s catchphrase was Radical Islamic Terrorism.
Before that it was Ebola, before that Birth Certificate, before that Death Panels.
Now it’s MS 13 or anti-Semitism.
Anything to stoke the flames of hate to his base.
What will it be tomorrow?

This is reminiscent of the Long Island Brookhaven Fire Dept displaying the Confederate battle flag on a fire-engine during a parade.

Besides the fact that he’s lazy & grossly incompetent, all of his decisions are based on far-right politics.

Twenty-two New York lawyers filed a complaint against Zeldin for his role in the insurrection & undermining confidence in our elections.

I have a dear friend receiving cancer treatment. Those treatments took months to receive, bc she had to fight her ins. co.

Newsday is finally connecting the corrupt dots between Lee Zeldin – George Santos – Nancy Marks – Jesse Garcia – Michelle Bond – Ryan Salame – FTX – Dave Lipsky & the Long Island Loud Majority.

It’s comforting to know one has health insurance, when one is sick.

Remember, the GOP controlled House could not get USMCA passed.
Even when the GOP negotiates with themselves, they fail!
It took a great leader, like, Speaker Pelosi, to get labor & conservatives to agree on HER new deal.

🚨 NEW: George Santos staffer & convicted drug dealer, Vish Burra, will supposedly be disciplined for threatening a journalist with sexual violence.

No!!
This is not Tennessee or Florida.
This is Suffolk County.
These racists are so proud of their racism, they display it for all to see.

opened the gates of hell, for these monsters to drive through.
#RacismInSuffolkCounty
Why hasn’t Lee Zeldin been indicted?
His confessed crooked treasurer clearly ‘cooked’ his books, he illegally coordinated with a PAC & he perpetrated Election Fraud by personally vouching for 11,000 fraudulent petition signatures.
#Zeldin4Prison
Lee Zeldin’s campaign disbursements look a lot like George Santos’ disbursements which he’s currently under indictment for.
A lot of dark 💰 went in to Nancy Marks’ clients and went out to mystery sources.
The NY GOP seems to be more of a washing machine than a political party.
🚨 BREAKING: Three more NYS GOP operatives indicted on federal criminal charges alleging they used fraud & intimidation to obtain absentee ballots.
Welp … we found the Voter Fraud, which Lee Zeldin has been searching for.
Only it was done by —Republicans!!

This is an indictment of the entire GOP.
Trump would be - nothing - without his enablers.
Lee Zeldin had multiple chances to rid himself of Trump.
From the Access Hollywood video, John McCain comments & two Impeachments – Zeldin defended the indefensible.

Wow!
I’m a little overwhelmed by the response to our story.
Thank you to everyone who shared their deeply painful or joyful stories.

Not a single effing R Congressman voted for the Obama stimulus package.

Before he voted against the 1/6 Commission, he helped incite a White domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol, with the intention of stopping the peaceful transfer of power & ending our democracy.
Look at the date on his tweet. Is there any wonder he doesn’t want to investigate?
This is the nightmare scenario for

He had attended their rally’s & has been photographed with their leadership.
The LILM sent bus loads of members to the 1/6 attack on our Capitol.
