Every time RFK jr speaks the word "science", he must be asked to recite a detailed summary of the scientific method. He won't be able to answer.

India wanted to be a strong ally & trading partner - Trump fucked it up. China wanted good relations - Trump fucked it up. Putin would like nothing more than to destroy the US - Trump embraced him instead and Putin quickly double-crossed him. Now they’re all teaming up.

Appeasement Never Works—Not in 1938, Not in 2025 In 1938 Chamberlain sacrificed Czechoslovakia. In 1939, Poland fought alone while Britain and France waged a “Phoney War.” Appeasement didn’t buy peace then. Some urge the same mistake with Putin and Ukraine. History is blunt: appeasement never works

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

That's how you create these insane false dichotomies where law students laughing at a Scalia opinion is on par with the president extorting law firms into doing his bidding or banning entire concepts such as the existence of trans people.

If you know California voters, tell them that if Trump rigs the next election and Republicans keep Congress, they will most certainly not certify the election in 2028 if they don't like the result. No one is saying gerrymandering is good, but unilaterally disarming could be the end of our democracy.

The Senate is there to approve or reject Presidential cabinet nominees, as a check not a rubber stamp because the President picked them. By confirming them you are stating you believe they are fit for the job. By confirming RFKjr you are proving you are unfit for your Senate seat.
