Every part of what Musk says is wrong. The reality is that undocumented workers pour about $26 billion in payments into Social Security with no expectation of a return. Non-citizens subsidize citizens, and that does not magically allow them to vote.

This is really remarkable. A pardon attorney was told that Gibson was a personal friend of the President and she should recommend he be given his access to guns back. She didn't and was immediately fired.
They will fire lawyers who won't bless their cronyism.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.
Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

The New Mexico congressional delegation is pleading with RFK Jr. to promote vaccination and provide other resources in the wake of the measles outbreak. Instead, Kennedy says that the death of a school-aged child as “not unusual”. He can’t get out of his anti-vax corner. His ego is paramount.

Oh nothing just RFK Jr.’s organization telling people that measles does a body good.
I need not drone on and on about the myriad reasons this is wrong, I assume. It’s been a long day, and I think you all already know this.

Actual text from an article published by Children's Health Defense today:
However, what mainstream medicine rarely acknowledges is that measles is not just a disease to be feared — it also has long-documented health benefits.
