One Month of RFK Jr.: Empty “MAHA” Promises Hide Attacks on Public Health

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

Trump yelled at Zelenskyy, interrupted him, told him to stop talking, knocked him on the shoulder at one point.
Zelenskyy came back at him, tried to interrupt back.
By the end, Zelenskyy was sullen in his seat and Trump was red in the face, yelling about Obama and Hunter Biden.
