RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH.

These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures.

How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?

The Supreme Court has sided with cruelty. Again. This time, it’s trans kids who pay the price. In this powerful piece, lawyer and democracy expert @importantmeagan.bsky.social pulls back the curtain on the new ruling upholding the TN ban on gender-affirming care, and sounds the alarm on what's next.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

Our allies for a century all hate us, but at least the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar appreciate how easy it is to get what they want from our govt, and appear to enjoy our president’s willingness to trade US govt policy for personal enrichment. So we have some friends.

There is no trade deal with China. The tariffs will still be massive, 30%, highest since 1930s, while they work on supposed deal for who know how many months.

Media getting spun again.

We are inevitably headed,” Vance wrote, “to a confrontation between a president who has rejected the rule of law and a judge sworn to enforce it. We are in an exceedingly dangerous moment for democracy.”

I will keep asking. What is Trump doing to lower costs for American families? We can see what the billionaires are getting with their VIP access to the White House, but what about the rest of America? www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

Wow, $10 million for $400 million. That’s a pretty good deal for Musk.
And Trump gets to pocket the $10 million for free, so it works out for him too.
The ones holding the bag? The American people!
