Astonishing statement. The man should already have been fired. That Fox hasn't already taken action is inexcusable.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition.

Been watching Telemundo Noticias to help with my Spanish comprehension, and it’s like 20 solid minutes of phone video of brutal ICE arrests from locations across the country, some international news, some real weather, a clickbait story and a feel good story. A shared reality. It’s good.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is leading a government witch hunt. They are forcing us to take lie detector tests, going through our belongings, searching our PCs, making threats through the attorney general, targeting our judges, deputizing Elon’s staff—the list goes on.

This investigation is an attempt to dismantle Biden-era climate initiatives under the pretense of financial oversight. By using law enforcement to target climate funding, the Trump administration is leveraging the legal system for political gain.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

Elon updated DOGE, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.
