“Connolly said he’s “ready” to take on a Trump administration despite his recent health issues (cancer of the esophagus).

How’s that working out?

We NEED new leadership with a fire to fight ~ AOC is perfect.

Democrats elect Rep. Gerry Connolly over progressive star AOC for top Oversight Committee post
The race between Connolly and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had been seen as a fight over seniority as younger Democrats pushed for new blood and generational change.

“The death of his daughter, Peter told me, was God’s will. God created measles. God allowed the disease to take his daughter’s life. ‘Everybody has to die,’ he said.”

His kid was the first to die of the disease in a decade. Measles was considered eliminated in the US in 2000.
"The vaccination has stuff we don't trust," said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died from measles at the end of last month. Tom Bartlett visited with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy:

Of course it did. It's just going to get worse when the firing and resignations set in come September, if not sooner.
Will felon/GOP/oligarchs’ extreme chaos trigger USA recession, possibly global depression with massive layoffs of workers; negative impact on U.S. farmers, families, small businesses; cutting Americans’ benefits; tariffs; trade wars; shredded trade agreements; turning on ally countries; imperialism?

Of course he did... Still wants that Trump tower in Moscow.

They are the biggest threat to everyone.
Actually, most people think the biggest threat to Europe right now is Trump and JD Vance

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

No allegiance to Wannabe King!
Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution.

Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

Just sad.
Alzheimer’s has affected many of us. It strips away a person’s dignity & emotionally, physically, and financially overwhelms families. There’s been promises of better treatments, but now that is gone bc trump/musk have cut experts in this field which will have devastating effects on all of us.
Oops: Trump-Musk Cuts Just Wrecked an NIH Org Championed by GOPers
Republicans once lavished praise on an NIH center that deals with Alzheimer’s. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hobbling it. What will those Republicans say now?

That's weird. Not!
I can't be the only one who's not very encouraged by these figures
Pretty devastating new WaPo poll on Trump

A majority of Americans:

• Say he’s not honest (62%)
• Say he’s exceeded his authority (57%)
• Disapprove his job as president (53%)
• Disapprove his economic record (53%)
• Disapprove management style (54%)

Let those approval ratings drop.

Hmmm? Said this before but Musk is a conflict of interest and is only in it for himself.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes near $1 billion in new contracts for Musk in just 2 weeks: "This is nothing more than a money grab. He's not out there trying to save money for the American people, he's lining his pockets."

Key words. Experts in science
President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring that the United States recognizes “two sexes, male and female” — but according to experts and a significant body of academic research, the definitions he used are oversimplified and inaccurate.
Trump says there are ‘two sexes.’ Experts and science say it’s not binary.
The president’s executive order signaled an intention to narrowly define the sexes, but experts say he is oversimplifying the intricate nature of human biology.

Food for thought
She nails it
The DoD firings are going to be... interesting.

The DoD civilians are the ones who actually keep the major functions on every base up and running. The military personnel move around so much, there's no continuity without the DoD civilians.

So sad. This guy is not qualified to make decisions on public health, period.
1. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr at the same time as a massive measles outbreak was sweeping through areas of Texas with low vaccination rates.

RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.

The largest measles outbreak Texas has seen in over 30 years is sweeping through the western part of the state.

These numbers tell a story, and they don't include his superpower attendance.

3 days since flood
2 days of golfing
11 laps in Daytona
$5 million taxpayer dollars
14 dead in Kentucky

Way to screw over US Farmers. 🤬
US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.

- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.

The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.
