Caroline Kennedy on her cousin Robert Kennedy Jr:

“Bobby Kennedy’s views on vaccines are dangerous. But I don’t think most Americans share them. I grew up with him and I’ve known all of this for a long time and others are just getting to know him.”

MTG wants to control your access to information. Fight back by being well informed. Develop trusted sources of information. Do not let them keep you in the dark about what they are doing-that is the hope of dictators.

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.

"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."
