Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

They are monsters. There is no way around it. It is both dangerously bad foreign policy and it is grotesquely inhumane. The vast majority of Americans don't get it and need to wake up to what is happening here, to how disastrous it is for us and the world, how dangerous it is for our future.
The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

This is a deeply unwell person who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. The demonstrations against Musk and at Tesla showrooms and elsewhere are acts of patriotism.

Of course Senator Bill Cassidy voted to advance RFK Jr. to a full Senate vote. After all, he’s the prick that said Louisiana’s maternal mortality rates wouldn’t be so bad if the stats were “corrected” for Black women. 😡

Shame on you, Senator Bill Cassidy.
Shame the hell on you, DOCTOR.
You place every American life in danger with full awareness you have sacrificed American excellence in medicine and violated your oath of office in a show of allegiance to a maniac.
