Morrisey says his budget proposal fully funds essential services. But there’s plenty of need left on the table.

RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you “forget” about that much money?

Right-wing Supreme Court Justices are taking bribes from billionaires with cases before SCOTUS.
SCOTUS ruled that bribing the elected officials who write the laws and could hold them accountable is legal as long as they’re called “gratuities.”
This is what an oligarchy looks like.
