In case you are wondering:
a direct, public exhortation of the USA intel & military apparatuses to lawfulness and constitutionality by a sitting USA Senator is a bad place to be.
Shit hit the fan a while back.
Also, as we’ve seen, military & intel apparatus has followed illegal orders.

I'd really like somebody on the right to explain why Soros injecting money into politics is improper but Musk doing the same thing isn't.
But worry not, he has a footnote explaining why his fixation on Soros "is not political."

It doesn’t matter how much you exercise or how many veggies you eat when it comes to a pandemic.
These things will not stop it, and the shitbirds that Trump has installed in leading public health positions should be fired for even suggesting it would.

A majority of U.S. adults (59%) say they don’t want to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine. This is roughly identical to the share who said in October 2024 that they probably wouldn’t get the updated vaccine.
