No cable news host in America so fearlessly speaks the truth: Lawrence O'Donnell's fearlessness in documenting the corruption, degeneracy, and stupidity of the dumbest and most incompetent president in history is a ray of hope in the current US hellscape of authoritarian fascism.

Lawrence O'Donnell has been reporting in a way that is the verbal equivalent of kicking someone in the balls — and then doing it again, just for good measure. That's the kind of reporting we need. Not this candy-ass, sugar-coated BS so many others are putting out. #LawrenceGetsIt

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.'
But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women."

RFK Jr. sent Congress 'medical disinformation' to defend COVID vaccine schedule change
A document circulated to members of Congress misinterprets studies and cites debunked research, scientists say. It could influence congressional perceptions of vaccine safety.

Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans.
Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it.
This is Iowa!

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"
Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’”
“I’M PISSED!”
