Look, this isn’t personal. I don’t know RFK Jr. But I do know he’s incompetent and entirely unfit to be leading our nation’s health.

RFK Jr. is dangerous for America. He must resign or be fired.

A heartfelt thank-you to my Senator Chris Van Hollen who continues to speak the truth about the Israeli government's crimes in Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli government wants to push all Palestinians off their land and take everything.

Our military budget is almost $3,000 per person. Our National Weather Service was budgeted to cost less than $5 per person, but Trump's DOGE cut 30% of the budget and 17% of the staff. Now we're not prepared to warn people of looming disasters.

From Israeli newspaper Haaretz: "Israeli officers and soldiers said that they were ordered to deliberately fire at unarmed civilians waiting for humanitarian aid."

Tell your Congress critters to stop military aid to Israel until the siege is lifted.
