Resist and rebuke the racist rapist felon fraud.
Perhaps from now on when we refer to progressives doing something, we should refer to the other “side” as fascists to provide the appropriate balance.

"So this has never happened before. I've been handed two documents that are in the Mr. Comey case that are inconsistent with one another," [Judge] Vaala said to Halligan. "There seems to be a discrepancy. They're both signed by the (grand jury) foreperson."
"U.S. Magistrate Judge Lindsey Vaala expressed confusion and surprise at some points during the seven-minute court session when a federal grand jury impaneled in Alexandria, Virginia, returned the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey Thursday night."

We’ve never been closer to finding a potential cure for cancer than we were with mRNA.
So of course, RFK Jr. cancelled all government funding for mRNA.
God fucking damn it.

Forty-seven doesn’t like the idea that a hurricane will take away attention from him. He couldn’t care less how many people could die because they don’t have needed information.

🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season.
Brilliant timing.

Of course the US debt will still increase, it’s just that 47 and his Oligarchs will be getting the money—the tax dollars that we workers fork over.
The proposal would cut off rental subsidies after two years for able-bodied adults. Advocates warn if enacted, the White House plan would tip many low-income renters over the edge into homelessness.
Trump budget would slash rental aid by 40% -- and let states fill the gap if they want

Thank you Sen Murphy!

It’s been DOdGEy from the get go.
On paper, its mission was pared down, from massive cuts to government to improving IT efficiency. Did the president and his co-conspirator Elon Musk have a change of heart—or is something else going on?
How DOGE will try to dodge transparency
Good government groups have already launched a legal war targeting Elon Musk's power grab.

Killing hundreds of thousands of people during COVID wasn’t enough for the convicted felon, rapist and racist. He wants to convert our tax dollars to his own personal use, and he doesn’t give a shit who gets hurt or dies. Including the idiots who voted for him.
BREAKING: Gov. Pritzker’s office confirms the Trump funding freeze has shut Illinois out of Medicaid. FOUR MILLION Illinoisans rely on Medicaid for their healthcare.
Trump's freeze will kill people. He's doing this to ensure "Money isn't being wasted on DEI initiatives."
Beyond absurd & cruel.

Actually, 49.8% is not “over half”. On the other hand, “over half” of voters voted against the insurrectionist.
I can’t come to terms with the fact that over half of American voters saw Donald Trump’s actions on January 6 and said that wasn’t a big enough problem to not re-elect him.
Trump literally tried to overthrow the government. And people just put him back into the White House no questions asked.

This appears to be yet more normalization of the MAGA agenda. Supporting anything that RFK Jr puts forward makes him appear of sound mind. He’s too dangerous to normalize.
Tuesday's #poll closed with 63.04% of 32,859 voters saying that they agree with #RFKjr that televised pharmaceutical ads should be banned.
