RFK Jr is either IGNORANT or a LIAR. The two measles deaths — both unvaccinated children — in Texas announced today are actually the FIRST deaths attributed to the disease in the U.S. since 2015.

This is the story.
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Wait I was called an alarmist, a fake news spreader when I said #Project2025 was Trump’s playbook to destroy our form of government. So many MAGA Republicans said he has nothing to do with it, I guess y’all got hoodwinked. When they tell you who they are, believe them. #DemVoice1
