I am disgusted with the political “class”. We have an MP who lives in Toronto and who seemingly does nothing. We have an MLA who won’t face the electorate on coal, now we’re paying for senators to bring their spouses on vacation. I’m with GenZ: burn it all down.

“We are thrilled that RFK Jr. is in charge,” Michelle Herman, who sells a nasal spray containing chlorine dioxide and says she’s discussed the topic with Kennedy, tells WIRED. She was pictured, along with other bleach enthusiasts, at the recent Truth Seekers conference held at Trump’s Doral resort.

Harvey Milk (1930-1978) was the 1st openly gay man to be elected to public office in California. He sponsored a successful bill to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. Both him and the mayor were assassinated by the former city supervisor who had cast the sole vote against Milk's bill.
