3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development
CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs
The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

In all the outrage about what the White House is doing, please pause for a moment - and even LOWER YOUR PHONE - to pray for the souls of these four brave patriots. Sons of Illinois, California, Guam, and Michigan.
They died for their country.
The four U.S. Army soldiers killed in Lithuania:
* Sgt. Jose Duenez Jr., 25, from Joliet, Illinois.
* Sgt. Edvin F. Franco, 25, from Glendale, California.
* Pfc. Dante D. Taitano, 21, from Dededo, Guam.
* Staff Sgt. Troy S. Knutson-Collins, 28, from Battle Creek, Michigan. The world honors you. 💔

You think Hegseth can't be any more awful and then we discover his racist hunt for "DEI" labeled the highest ranking black Medal of Honor recipients award a 'DEI medal' on Arlington's website. MG Charles Rogers was ten times the man Pete will ever be. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

“Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.”

You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

It's a great question. Why are Republican members of Congress idly sitting by while their constituents lives get ruined? Their budget plan is a dismantling of our social safety net for average Americans. @repauchincloss.bsky.social brought the heat to NewsNation.
