Representative Jerrold Nadler, the ex-House Judiciary chairman who helped lead President Trump’s impeachments, will not seek re-election in New York. Good, time for new blood. Maybe Schumer will get the hint. Nah.

In this case, we're dealing with people who actively are setting the fires to the world, figuratively through policies and actions, and literally through killing alternate energy projects while encouraging burning more carbon fuel sources.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
