Kennedy is more unashamed than ever as he admits he directed the disinformation on the MMR vaccine to be posted on the CDC website. He wants to equate fraudulent studies with over 40 peer reviewed studies showing NO link between Autism and the MMR 🧵 #PublicHealth
Robert F Kennedy Jr instructed CDC to change stance on vaccines and autism
US health secretary said he told agency to update website to claim the fact vaccines do not cause autism is not evidence based

America does not bow to dictators. We need to stand for freedom & democracy at home & abroad. We cannot be an America that is undermining our democracy, stripping people of health care & destabilizing our own economy. I'm running for Congress to hold Trump accountable.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

Reporter to Mamdani: President Trump says he loves NYC. Does NYC love President Trump?

Mamdani: NYC loves a future that is affordable, and I can tell you that there were more NYCers who voted for President Trump because of that focus on cost of living.

Trump: I got a lot of votes.

Guess they’re gonna have to tear down all those New Deal buildings and artworks.

For those who don’t study history, we’ve had socialism in America before, it was in response to unbridled wealth hoarding, and it directly led to one of the most prosperous periods the country has ever experienced.

Pressure is building inside of D.C. A federal court just ordered the federal troops out in 21 days. Congress just voted near unanimously to release the Epstein files. If you’re in D.C. this Saturday, you can add your voice in a peaceful demonstration against this regime.

Not one MAGA Republican has criticized the president’s repeated calls to murder six Congressional Democrats

Houlahan: "I'm just continually stunned by the fact the commander in chief, the president, has called for my death. And that's something that should be chilling for everybody, and everybody should be worried about their safety in this nation when the president can yield that sort of statement."

Dear Ukraine,

I apologize. I’m sorry my country elected someone who works for Putin. Someone who’s on Putin’s side. As long as he is President, America won’t stand with you. Just know tho, that most Americans DO stand with you.

JD Vance was hand selected by Jeffrey Epstein's collaborator Peter Thiel, he's a replacement part incase Donald Trump doesn't make it his full term. Not a real politician or serious person, just a stand in for a South African billionaire and an Israeli-Russian pedo network.
