Last night, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly dismissed all 17 members of the federal vaccine advisory committee.

Remember last year when Trump told Republicans in the Senate not to pass the bipartisan immigration bill so that he could run on immigration? Well, I guess we know now "run on immigration" really means "govern by extrajudicial kidnapping."

And 47 says, "ok. So let's arrest a judge and deport some brown children so that the 25% is happy. Also, I'll sound senile in an interview. Problem solved."

Remember in 1994 when the US, the UK, and Russia signed a treaty with the Ukraine (and others) where Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in exchange for pledges of non-aggression and support? Russia violated this treaty. How good is our word?
