RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.

Moore: "The National Guard is responsible during this occupation for 744 cubic yards of mulch spread, 886 bags of trash collected, 27 feet of fence pained...We did not have to ask these citizen soldiers to give up their lives and have Americans pay so we could paint fences."

Trump, confronted with images of starving children in Gaza, called it “real starvation stuff” and vowed the U.S. would “be even more involved.” Whether that leads to real action or more empty talk remains to be seen. Brian O’Neill explains.
