The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Amazing work today, everyone! Today’s protest was a success—two MAGA individuals were arrested for assaulting peaceful protestors, and three additional investigations are currently underway. We’ve also launched a new task force to investigate any incidents.

RFK Jr. said he'd "clean up corruption" as HHS Secretary.

So why'd he have dinner with Big Pharma executives at Mar-a-Lago with Trump?

The American people deserve to know what kind of deals might have been made at those "million-dollar" dinners.
