"Under no circumstances should any sane person take his health advice. Nor should any senator consent to give him authority over government agencies that regulate our food and medicines."
RFK Jr. Is a One-Man Plague
It’s not just that he’s misinformed. It’s the way his mind works that’s dangerous.

America first drifts inexorably towards America alone.
It doesn’t matter how powerful you are. In an interconnected world, we can’t survive without allies.

Quietly, Hegseth announces a major policy change, ruling out Ukraine joining NATO. This is a capitulation to Putin, justifying his wars of aggression starting with Georgia in 2008. This will embolden Putin & undermine the interests of peace in Ukraine & Europe. A major blow to US national security.

Give us a break. McConnell had his chance after the deadly insurrection. He could have ended this nightmare with a Senate conviction. He didn’t. Let’s never forget his unforgivable disservice to the Constitution and America.

There is only good analysis and bad analysis,

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?

When an encyclopedia has more integrity than Google.
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

You think Elon Musk’s approval numbers suck now? Wait until folks figure out he’s dismantling the government so he can’t be regulated or stopped in his quest to be the first trillionaire—to our detriment.
Not that approval numbers matter, since no one elected this sociopath!
