Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

In light of some of the discussions about Tyler Robinson, it's important to remember that people can be legally sane yet deeply mentally unwell at the same time. Many criminal defendants and convicts fall into this category, including the current president of the United States.

I am amazed at just how inept the Democrats’ congressional leadership is on this moment of crisis. Trump is moving troops into blue cities and declaring war against the left, and these guys are complaining that the GOP Congress is pushing a partisan budget. Jesus Christ, wake the hell up.

The hearing is starting. Cassidy notes that doctors need to trust data coming out of the CDC. Notes that CDC Director requires Senate confirmation because it’s such an important role. 💪 Her firing points to a failure of either the Senate or the Admin. It’s both. Both put RFKJ in charge.
