Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.

It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.

If RFK jr would stand up at ANY medical conference and spouts his pseudoscience-cult BS, he would be laughed off stage. Where TF are these same physicians now? Every single doctor in the country must take a stand against this guy.

I’m so uninterested in this race…seems like there are no good options and the Dems are going to make a bad choice. Somehow this race will cause more issues going into the midterms next year. SMH. Another self-inflicted wound.

White people say crime is the problem even when crime rates are low. They’re really just using the word “crime” to garner public support for over policing of black communities.
