As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor.

Armed masked agents roaming the streets attacking our neighbors makes us all less safe.

NEW — I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning.

Listen to the clip here:

Great, so Senate Democrats can come out refreshed with the hot new battle plan of trying to be watered-down polite Republicans then blaming progressives and the left when this fails to rally the Dem base, fails to pick up swing voters, and gets laughed at by GOP voters.

A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.

If the courts cannot pretty rapidly step in and stop this obvious abuse of public funds to settle political scores, they won’t do a whole lot else to hold against an authoritarian state

the story all but says it but hegseth is very clearly trying to purge the leadership of the military of black people and women
