The CDC shooting, by a Trump-aligned terrorist, was insane. There was little to no response from the Trump admin.
RFK Jr, along with Trump, Makary, and Bhattacharya, bear blame and should resign.

A group of HHS employees today called for RFK’s resignation.

First the terrorist tried to enter campus in a car filled with guns. When he wasn’t allowed past the gates, he started firing from a CVS drugstore across the street. From a semi-automatic weapon, 500 shots is a lot. He was at it for a long time.

Here are the weapons & shell casings he left behind.

say hello to the new college of florida in manhattan
Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

Russell Brand has spent the past few years aligning himself with the American right as allegations of sexual violence were made public against him. He knew he would find defenders and protection among their ranks. That should tell you everything you need to know about what the party represents

On days like this I remember there was time people when people applauded frontline responders of the pandemic every night. Public health workers, doctors, nurses etc.. How quickly we went from that to "public health bad, science bad, researchers bad and must be erased" is true mind blowing.

i think shutting the government down is preferably to nullifying article i of the constitution
The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.

Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.

I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.
