Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

![“The loss of retirement income has made a significant impact on our daily lives. Our
inability to meet our housing expenses necessitated in us taking on credit card debt to
maintain our home in which we provide housing for our handicapped son. You can
imagine the anxiety this has caused us in providing for his and our needs. We now
have over $100,000.00 in credit card debt in addition to the interest we have incurred
to allow us to maintain our mortgage and remain in our home. At the time of this
investment we had NO credit card debt! As elderly senior citizens at the age of 82 and
76 our ability to find additional income is extremely limited. We are now at a point of
looking at our belongings to sell to allow us to stay in our home. The emotional stress
of this has taken a fiscal and mental toll on our ability to function. We felt we planned
well for our retirement years and feel robbed by the actions of this crime.” D.E. DOJ0002356.
• “Since the GPB fraud stated, we have lost well over half of our family[’]s net worth
[and] a large portion of our income . . . At 74, I have been unable to retire now. My

cerebral palsy, has had to ensure the ensuring stress from all of that.” M.F. DOJ0001930.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreifj3ulaoxnrnhbrk7z2gnegme22juwnwnj45xuwopak457jjg2kue@jpeg)
