If Pete Kegsbreath follows through with his threat to court martial hero astronaut, former naval officer, and current U.S. Senator, he will further tarnish and diminish the Pentagon, and ensure a LANDSLIDE midterm victory for Democrats.

I STAND WITH SENATOR MARK KELLY!!!!🙏💪

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

This is what it looks like when the younger generations take the lead.

The youth needs to be empowered to use their voice, it is through them that this regime will fall. It is through them that new leaders will rise. The future is theirs.

Trump's National Guard deployments have cost over $473 MILLION.

A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troops’ service.

Doing this while firing federal workers and kicking millions off of healthcare is just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is the Trump admin.

Lots going on but don’t lose track of the Trump attacks on biomedical research and cancer cures.

@jeremymberg.bsky.social posted a leaked #NIH memo today. I want to highlight a few scary parts.

They’re about taking power from scientists and experts and giving it to the president’s hacks. 1/ 🧪

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
