A win! A federal judge today blocked Trump’s executive order to dismantle the Department of Education and ordered the reinstatement of thousands of fired employees, a major setback for his plans. Thank you, Judge Myong J. Joun of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.

in addition to him repeating insane racist conspiracy theories, it occurs to me that the reason he has time to hold long press conferences everyday is that he doesn’t actually do anything
REPORTER: Why are you creating an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners but not others?
TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
