There is someone right now planning an attack on a Democratic lawmaker because the president just told them to do so.

“Yes, Mr. Trump has raped many women and children, has masked goons kidnap people off the streets to be tortured in foreign concentration camps, and murders fishermen on the high seas, but he’s fundamentally a humanitarian.”
JD Vance: "He's fundamentally a humanitarian, and we've got 8 peace deals at this point. We're working on number 9 and number 10. And I think if he gets number 10, purely for mathematical harmony the Nobel Prize should be awarded to Donald J Trump."

The corrupted CDC website refers to a Danish study (Andersson et al) and "a statistically significant 67% increased risk of Asperger's syndrome per 1 mg increase in aluminum exposure among children born between 2007 and 2018 (Supplement Figure 4)." It's worth putting this into context. Short 🧵

Apparently RFK Jr. promised Senator Bill Cassidy that he wouldn’t remove the statement

“Vaccines do not cause autism” from the CDC website.

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.

I figured out how they're going to avoid releasing the full Epstein files. HR4405 the Epstein Files Transparency Act requires release all UNCLASSIFUED documents in DOJ possession related to Jeffrey Epstein. I have a feeling that the most significant parts of the file are going to be "classified".
