The world’s richest person, without any actual authority, is infiltrating entire govt agencies and gaining access to sensitive info.
And it's being done in an effort to slash federal spending in the name of "efficiency" so America’s wealthy can get another huge tax cut.

RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

This is a dangerous bill. And I am sorry to read the long list of House and Senate Democrats who voted to support it.
The House voted 263 to 156 to approve the Laken Riley act, sending the measure to Trump for his signature. The measure would make it easier for federal immigration officials to detain and deport those without legal status who are charged with specific crimes.

These problems are made by choices, choices of people who don't want to go into primary care, and choices that are made by whoever the people on the top are at the time, and these are bad choices! Irresponsible, as missions and scope change to trend, go after the money
Primary care, the foundation of the state’s health care industry, is crumbling, and Massachusetts is running out of time to fix it, according to a report published Thursday by the state’s Health Policy Commission.
Primary medical care in Massachusetts has a dire prognosis, and patients are feeling the strain - The Boston Globe
Patients are struggling to access care, the physician workforce is aging and dissatisfied, and the pipeline for new doctors is dwindling, a new report says.
