RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.

Once RFK is fired, I think there's a very, very easy strategy to deal with all of the other political appointees: get Jay Bhattacharya on a panel to talk about idk cancer, and then open with "Do you believe immigrants should be put in concentration camps?" and then just keep asking that forever

Just the nation’s highest court saying it’s ok for masked secret police to grab people off the streets & disappear them simply because they’re Latino. The Supreme Court once again has abandoned the Constitution & the idea of a democracy where everyone has to follow the law.
