The U.S. is having the worst measles outbreak in 30 years.
Mass stupidity, unbridled ignorance, and RFK Jr.— an anti-vaxx caveman— have left us with a nation eager to infect its kids with medieval diseases.
One more reason to vote straight blue in November.

Utah Republicans’ plan to repeal the state’s gerrymandering ban in order to grab another congressional seat isn’t going as well as they hoped — despite Donald Trump Jr.’s best efforts to help recruit workers for a MAGA political firm that turned in fraudulent signatures.

Bondi Spying On Congressional Epstein Searches Should Be A Major Scandal
Yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. Among the more notable exchanges was when Rep. Pramila Jayapal asked some of Jeffrey Epstein's victims who were in the audience to stand up and indicate whether Bondi's DOJ had ever contacted them about their experiences. None of them had heard from the Justice Department. Bondi wouldn't even look at the victims as she frantically flipped through her prepared notes.

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP.
Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for.
We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military.
This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass
