Mitt Romney, An Irredeemable Snake, Commits To Replacing RBG With Trump’s Pick
After a weekend of mourning and fear about the future following Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing, one lawmaker has drawn a clear division of party lines. Republican Senator Mitt Romney formally announced that he will move forward Trump’s nominee in a Senate vote. And with the weight of his support, this practically solidifies that the vacant seat will be filled before the election, allowing another conservative judge into the Supreme Court.“The historical precedent of election year nominations is that the Senate generally does not confirm an opposing party’s nominee but does confirm a nominee of its own. The Constitution gives the President the power to nominate and the Senate the authority to provide advice and consent on Supreme Court nominees,” Romney said in a statement on Tuesday “Accordingly, I intend to follow the Constitution and precedent in considering the President’s nominee. If the nominee reaches the Senate floor, I intend to vote based upon their qualifications.” Considering that Romney has repeatedly battled with Trump in recent years — and voted him out of office during the 2019 impeachment hearings — this agreement to allow Trump to push a Supreme Court pick is especially egregious. To many, Romney was one of the few Republicans that Democrats hoped might still dissent in a Senate vote for Trump’s pick, avoiding the potential of having a Supreme Court with a 6-3 conservative majority. But, Romney has proven that perhaps he is not turning a more centrist leaf — he just really dislikes Donald Trump. Romney was the sole Republican to vote to remove Trump from office during the impeachment trial in early 2020, which shocked and frustrated his colleagues. After facing fallouts with the GOP because of his choice to stand up against Trump, it made sense to assume that Romney might continue on his course of resistance and call on the Republican party to stand vigilantly against Trump’s replacement of Ginsburg. A new justice on the highest court in the land has major implications for the election, and Romney knows it. To confirm a nominee before the election, the process will be incredibly quick — and it’s something that the Republicans stood vehemently opposed to in 2016 before President Barack Obama left office. Then, Senate Republicans refused to allow Obama’s pick, Merrick Garland, to take a seat on the court eight months before November, citing that it was too close to the election. Clearly, Romney’s agenda is showing: Keeping the right in power, he’s more interested in having another conservative on the court, who may likely derail landmark civil rights cases like Roe v. Wade and the Affordable Care Act. But, a snake in the grass is still a snake, and Romney is venomous in assuring right-wing control over the Supreme Court instead of holding powerful people accountable for their actions.Like what you see?

Dr. Fauci Says You Might Still Be Making This Big Mistake With Masks
Masks have become a new part of everyday life for Americans this year. And with anything that is new, there is bound to be some confusion. For instance, many people may be unsure of when masks are completely necessary and which situations you can forgo a mask in–which can lead to many mistakes. In fact, Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), says that many people are still making this mask mistake: taking their mask off to talk to someone who can't hear or understand them.During an interview with Trevor Noah on the Sept. 21 episode of The Daily Show, Noah asked the health expert if it was necessary to wear a mask during a series of different scenarios. And when it came to talking to someone who couldn't hear you, Fauci said keeping your mask on was vital. Instead of taking your mask off, you should just "say it again and repeat it" until they can hear you, he said."Because when you then put down [your mask], you tend to speak louder with more force, and that's when all of the particles—if they're there, if you're infected—will come out," Fauci explained. "I would leave the mask on."After all, there's research that shows talking can easily spread the coronavirus. One study, published on May 13 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, found that speaking in a loud voice could introduce thousands of fluid droplets containing viral material into the air every second, droplets that could still be detected in the air for up to 14 minutes in an environment with stagnant air.There were other scenarios where Fauci said a mask was necessary, even if people don't think so. Some of the examples he gave were wearing a mask between courses when dining out and when in an empty elevator, as people can quickly come in.RELATED: For more up-to-date information, sign up for our daily newsletter.However, there may be some instances when you may not have to wear a mask, according to Fauci. For instance, if you're riding your bike out on the street, he says you don't have to wear a mask if you're not near other people. He did note that you should have your mask on you "in case you come into close contact with people on the outside."If you're indoors, however, Fauci said you should keep your mask on, no matter how socially distanced you are from other people—even if someone you're talking to asks you to speak up.
