@chrislhayes.bsky.social It would be really helpful when discussing all this vaccine skepticism to actually present some of the science. Even just a couple of charts from clinical trials showing effectiveness of mRNA vaccines, and CDC data showing deaths before and after their introduction.

This is not so much about weakening democracy, but throwing out the concept of government and society completely.

Per Trump, other nations have nothing that US needs, and those same nations want lots of American stuff. Yet the rationale for the tariffs is that we have a trade deficit with all these countries?

My feed has nothing about Trump’s bat shit Gaza proposal. I know it will never happen, but do we not care about the fallout this will cause? Especially with the gutting of FBI and CIA, and imminent installation of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel. And no one will take USA seriously again.
