Democratic governors criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not doing enough to block Trump’s cabinet nominees and policies.

In a conference call, governors led by JB Pritzker and Maura Healey urged stronger resistance, particularly against nominees Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.

But at least one party is going to recognize that trans people are humans, make an effort to oversee environmental or workers rights, or even admit that human beings deserve to eat in the process.
