RFK Jr. is a medical idiot and we would be idiots to follow his advice about anything medical. Maybe with the exception of heroin use.
Thoughtful responses always welcome, no matter how critical. Just because we don’t agree with each other, doesn’t mean we can’t be friends. Athens, GA. NO DM’s PLEASE.

Alabama replaced an intelligent and articulate Senator with a football coach who’s neither. Some in my home state of Georgia are proposing to elect another failed football coach to replace the articulate and intelligent Senator we now have. GEORGIA - PLEASE DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. KEEP OSSOFF!

Donald J. Trump has surrounded himself with a “cast of the most deplorable.” The country has never experienced so much incompetence at the highest levels of government. It says a lot about our democracy that we have survived without completely collapsing.

Trump's dictator moves like calling in the national guard or ballooning the ice budget are designed to enrage you, but also to desensitize you to his authoritarian behavior. As Rick Wilson says, we can't let that happen:

RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
