Did Joe Biden Forget He Was There for the Anita Hill Testimony?
He says he wishes he “could have done something” to help her … at the hearings he famously chaired.

Ro Khanna: “He absolutely is going to have to testify, & that's why he doesn't want Clinton to testify — you can bet that when we have Chairman Garcia, he's going to call Donald Trump to testify, as he should — he does have answers, that he needs to answer for in terms of what happened with Epstein”

Documents show RFK Jr lied to Congress about his agenda in Samoa—he did indeed go to spread anti-scientific doubts about vaccines. He was ultimately successful in getting an outbreak going there that killed 83 people, mostly babies and young children.
RFK Jr said during his Senate confirmation hearings that his trip to Samoa in 2019 ahead of a devastating measles outbreak had “nothing to do with vaccines." Documents obtained by @us.theguardian.com and @apnews.com undermine that testimony. Details here, by me and @aliswenson.bsky.social ⬇️
