This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

RFK jr in his confirmation hearing just made a comment about "getting addicts off the street." Substance use impacts people from all walks of life. Even the wealthy. Even...a Kennedy.
How many Kennedys who have been very public about their recovery had to be taken off the streets, Robert?

Dear pathetic,venal, barely a footnote of history dipshit Mike-is this how you want the rest of us to treat Louisiana the next time you’re drowning in a hurricane? Because I have a lot of ideas about how your state can treat people like human beings and at least pretend to live in the 21st century.
JUST IN: Speaker Johnson says Congress should impose conditions on disaster aid to California.

Is there even one person who actually believes the Rapist in Chief wrote these words? He can’t speak in grammatically correct sentences. And he obviously does not believe what these words convey. It’s laughable.

A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed.
Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?)

To state the obvious: Bringing back polio is no way to make America healthy. This is absolutely bonkers.
The lawyer helping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pick federal health officials for the incoming Trump administration has petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, which for decades has protected millions of people from a virus that can cause paralysis or death.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. In a Senate where he has a lot of competition, Tuberville is the dumbest of the lot.
