An example of why I haven't quite managed to leave the hellsite yet:
X Post by Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul Alright I swear this is the last time I am going to try to explain this but nobody can read govt docs so here goes! 1. Politico did NOT get "$8 million in a year" from USAID. It got $8 million from 2016 to fiscal year 2025 from ALL government agencies and departments. 2. USAID spent a grand total of $44,000 on Politico Pro subscriptions over two years. That is it. It was for a subscription to their trade pub E&E. 3. All of this information is freely available on http://USAspending.gov, the source website everyone is getting these numbers from. 4. Politico Pro is not = Politico dot com, the website you are all familiar with. It is a premium subscription service that has dashboards, tools, legislative tracking, etc. In many cases it costs north of $10,000/year per subscription. 5. If you are sharing claims counter to these, you are spreading disinformation because you don't know how to read a government database.

You know how the Trump admin blocked publication of the CDC's weekly morbidity and mortality report, which until now had been released every single week since 1952?
Turns out last week's report would have included 2 important new studies on bird flu transmission.

"I will not repeal settled law" - Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett

"I support women in the military" - Hegseth

"I have nothing against vaccines" - RFK Jr.

They lie to get confirmed.
We know they're lying.
Yet they get confirmed anyway.

Every confirmation should require passing a lie detector test.

The right-wing pro-Trump NY Post editorial board met with RFK Jr and said, "we came out thinking he’s nuts on a lot of fronts."
Trump's pick for HHS is dangerous, and even Trump-supporting media thinks it's a crazy, dangerous pick.

Putting RFK Jr. in charge of health breaks the first rule of medicine
The overriding rule of medicine is: First, do no harm.

Here we go.
Trump transition team compiling list of current and former U.S. military officers for possible courts-martial
All of the officers were involved in the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which independent reviews have blamed on both the Trump and Biden administrations.
