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.

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.

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.”

And Trump gets to pocket the $10 million for free, so it works out for him too.
