A man with amnesia realizes he possesses the ability to gain a different "power" every time he dies.

He discovers his name is Mitch Shelley and that he has been dead for two years.

Mitch begins to piece together what has happened to him unaware that two female assassins are hunting him.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.

I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.
Trump Sued Me. I Fought and Won.

Memo to President Zelensky:
If you’re headed to the White House, take a page from Mamdani’s diplomacy manual: flatter the décor and the dictator.

Tell Trump his gold-leaf office is pure Versailles. Compliment the ballroom, say it’s “palatial”. You’ll have a new best friend.

Man, whatever's in those files, it must be pretty horrible
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Remember Andrew Wakefield?
Here he is with his friend RFK Jr. in 2020.

Wakefield is the guy behind the fraudulent, retracted MMR–autism study. He lost his medical license for subjecting autistic children to unnecessary invasive procedures.

Now, with Kennedy in power, he’s getting a second act.
