Every media outlet treating RFK with any level of respect is complicit in the destruction of science and deaths of millions
He is unqualified, unethical, and unforgiveable
I am not exaggerating when I say he is one of the most dangerous men in all of world history

If RFK Jr. had any interest in regulating big pharma or helping americans eat better or reducing chronic illness he would not have gutted the agencies he is in charge of.
*Every* story about his alleged policy ideas should lead with this extremely elementary reality.

Building an entire infrastructure for a new program while every government agency that doesn’t directly kill people has been gutted financially. Instead of just giving people money for food the way we have an infrastructure for already.

It’s not a “big, beautiful bill.” It’s a cruel, irresponsible bill. It hurts low income & working class families, and it dramatically increases the debt & the deficit. And btw, if it’s so big & beautiful, why did they pass it in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping?

Here’s the thing: It’s not at all surprising that @Sec_Noem has no idea what Habeas Corpus is. It’s not surprising at all. And I guarantee you the President who chose Kristi Noem to run Homeland Security also has no idea what Habeas Corpus is.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?
The answer is due process.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
