Chris Getz not comprehending that promoting a domestic abuser to help a team that is like 1000 games out of the playoff race is a useless and terrible idea really kills my faith that he has competency in other areas.

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.

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.

I really don’t have words to describe how incandescently angry I am at Trump’s hosting of Putin. It spits in the face of every American who ever fought against tyranny, it’s an obscene affront to our allies, and the only reason it’s not treason is that we’re not actively at war with Russia.
