As I wrote back in 2019, Ron Johnson has been a traitor for over seven years now...ever since he got back from his Fourth of July trip to Moscow in 2018. No surprise he's been out there spreading Kremlin propaganda about vaccines.

"Numbers tend to benefit the left." That's because the Right builds its narratives on lies; and lies are disproven with facts. Vaccines save lives. Tariffs are taxes on consumers. America was NOT founded as a Christian nation. Election results reflect the votes cast. Jan 6 was a failed coup. Etc.

I know the focus today is on "the numbers." But lemme share a feeling: I'm worried. The economy was in a good place in late 2024. That's no longer true. And the trajectory is, at a minimum, concerning. That's millions of peoples lives, and millions of stories of pain.

Trump's policies are leading us into recession, he's kicking people off of health insurance and denying them vaccines, he's destroying the rule of law, he's being played for a fool by Putin..but he's going to call the Department of Defense the Department of War! America is great again! Pathetic.

I think I have the answer on the whole (CDC Director) "Susan Monarez told me she wasn't trustworthy" crap that RFK Jr. was spouting this morning. He told her he was going to tell her something secret to keep confidential and asked if she was trustworthy. In that case, I WOULD HAVE ANSWERED NO!

Trump murdered 11 civilians, whether they were involved in organized crime or not, doesn't take away their human rights. Trump murdered those people and released the video to boast about it. It's not law enforcement or legal military action, it is simply premeditated murder.
