So Purdue Pharma does’t have the $$ “available” to pay out victims, but the Sacklers took $10bn out??
HOW ABOUT NO
@RepKatiePorter is comin’ for ya...

The Sackler family withdrew $10 billion from Purdue Pharma—the (now bankrupt) company responsible for the opioid crisis—leaving limited funds available for families who lost loved ones. As a bankruptcy lawyer, I know a fraudulent transfer when I see one, so I called them out 👇

4. Isn't she from California?

and isn't California about to lose Senator Harris to the Vice-presidency?

and doesn't that mean Newsome gets to fill Harris's empty seat?

5. Under other circumstances

She would be my first choice. But the House can't afford to lose any more Democrats right now.

9. Worth the risk in my opinion

She's got the brains and drive to take on Rubio, Cornyn et al. Her district's evolving and any competent Democrat should be able to win it.
