Trust me. It can’t be done without help. This will result in neglect, abuse, & unhoused seniors. It’s shortsighted because in the end, the govt will have to pay anyway.

They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.

Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.

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.

So, if I had a kid who said they wanted to support Trump this way I'd take the opportunity to ask why and to school them on why it's bad. If they go thru with it, put that stuff on their vehicle and refuse to remove it, then absolutely- get the H*ll out. And I have no issues with the first panel.

Vaccines don’t prevent infection. Vaccines are meant to produce immunological memory and antibody production, so that when you get infected, your immune system can rapidly respond to eliminate the pathogen and prevent serious complications, including death. Vaccines don’t cause autism!
