This is beyond reckless. With measles cases spreading across TX and the U.S., we need scientists at the table, not folks pushing conspiracy theories. RFK Jr. is playing games with people’s lives.

Trump ousted a top Treasury official for blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, and federal contracts.
They’re not just coming for government waste—they’re coming for our money.

After the Flight 5342 crash, it would've been easy for Trump to meet the moment.
But as his cringeworthy press conference helped prove, he just can't clear low bars. Every time Trump faces a leadership test in the wake of a crisis or disaster, he flunks. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Following deadly plane crash, Trump flunks yet another test
Expectations were low ahead of the president's comments on the Flight 5342 crash. With his ugly and partisan rhetoric, Trump failed to clear a low bar.

The DNI role involves careful management of Section 702 authorities, the most important foreign surveillance tool in the U.S. national security arsenal.
Tulsi Gabbard introduced a bill (in December 2020) that would have eliminated Section 702 in its entirety (not just US persons' data).

The American economy just added 256,000 jobs in December, and unemployment fell to 4.1%. Trump is inheriting one of the strongest economies for an incoming President in generations. And despite destroying our economy in his first term, Trump will try to take the credit for this boom. Don't let him.
