Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

It is times like these when my son's job with CFD is scarier than I like to admit. It is a risk every firefighter takes every day they are on duty.

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses.

Quite frankly. I don't want to "hang tightly" while Dump experiments with the economy. The only manufacturing that we need to focus our energy on is microchips in the horrible event that China invades Taiwan. Oh wait, that was what Biden was doing! #handsoff

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The GOP in the House and Senate should be giving up their salary, insurance and pension since they have given up their power to the Executive branch. It's not like they are doing any real work.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Trump’s Pentagon erased women and minority Troops from Arlington National Cemetery’s website—wiping out their service, their sacrifice, their history.

This wasn’t an accident. It’s part of their agenda. We won’t let them erase those who served.
