We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.
The noble piece prize?
Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
"Trump is showing, with this insane rant, that he fully intends to maximally abuse presidential powers in every way possible to try to rig and swing the midterms. It’s not an accident that this is all happening while he’s militarizing cities." trib.al/8vnBGIq
WOW, must see TV!
But I was reliably informed only Democrats did this
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
Thanks, I do follow some and will now expand my net.
Ghoul.
Ghoul.
But he knows about drugs….
You are correct, and I do!
Watch PBS, shitcan the other networks who’ve sold out.
RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?
Tom Homan's message to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Get out of the way. Because we're going to do it."
Require transparency down to the contract level from all providers. Maybe to the point of general ledger entries. Segregate formularies from PBMs. End steering. This allows everyone to dig in and see what care would actually cost and determine a path, that everyone can discuss
NEVER FORGET: The GOP Congress lack of interest in the breach of actual science at the CDC has made it CLEAR: they don’t care if we live or die.
Wild that doctors waste a decade on medical school instead of just guessing.
Breaking news!!!!!
-- Trump cancels former VP Kamala Harris' Secret Service protection -- Border patrol arrested two allegedly undocumented people while fighting a fire in Washington State -- CDC acting director has no medical background -- Government runs out of money in less than a month -- It's only 10:30 AM
George Soros on Donald Trump: “President Trump is a con man and the ultimate narcissist who wants the world to revolve around him. When his fantasy of becoming president came true, his narcissism developed a pathological dimension.”
They are the definition of evil. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/e...
Meiselas: I saw a headline, “Trump Stamps Dictator Chic on Washington.” And they don't even see the problem with that. I feel like one of the last survivors sometimes in a zombie movie, where the zombie hasn’t gotten me yet.
Welch: This is a guy who has redecorated the oval Marie Antoinette style and is building himself a ballroom because he has no intention of leaving.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
From now on, we can no longer rely on information provided by the CDC, FDA, EPA, and NIH.
He’s trying to get her killed…
Sadly this is true as their goal is to tear it all down.
An absolute narcissistic fool.
Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning. RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
DMA President Mayor @justinmbibb.bsky.social: “Instead of defunding programs that keep our cities safe and secure, we need a President in the White House who's going to partner with America's Mayors to keep our cities safe, and the National Guard is not the answer.”
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family's ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
He certainly is a fool.
"If high earners were truly fleeing high taxes, low-tax states would be swarming with millionaires. Instead, the highest concentrations of millionaires are found in high-tax states.”
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Trump’s scheme is obvious. He’s polling underwater on inflation, the economy, and immigration. The Epstein scandal won’t go away. So, he’s fabricating crime crises ahead of the midterms to grab power, shift the debate, and put Dems on the defensive on crime. We see through it.
Dimwit.
Too stupid to know he is.
scumbag
moron
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.
Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.
TRUMP CROSSED THE LAST LINE- Banning mail-in ballots & voting machines to CHEAT to Win Midterms GOVERNORS- must fight- FIRE With Fire! Because If We Fail Now We Might Not Get Another Chance
🚨BREAKING: Arizona Court of Appeals REJECTS right wing challenge to Arizona's signature matching process. Another VICTORY for my law firm's clients and the voters of Arizona. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
"State terror isn’t coming, it’s here. The kidnapping of our immigrant neighbors, the brutal treatment of protesting Spokanites, the Trumped up charges–all of it is meant to scare us..." Dr. Joan Braune and Dr. Judy Roher wrote in an analysis. rangemedia.co/state-... 🧵/1
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
Antifa is everywhere.

Graham Platner: "If we are going to build a political system that represents working people, we need to send up working people... When working people organize and fight together, they can build power, and they can use that to get the things that they deserve."
Free will and survival of the informed.
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!
Trump calls for protest organizers to be indicted for RICO.
BREAKING: Abrego Garcia just renewed his bid for asylum. Keep fighting!
BREAKING: Vanity Fair staffers threatened to walk-out if the magazine puts Melania Trump on the cover.
Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
Thank you!
Not tired of winning!🥳
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
Stuart Stevens on National Guard deployment: "The murder rate of Jackson, Mississippi is 3 times that of D.C.... the whole thing is complete fraud"
BREAKING: Trump says tariff revenue could fund a dividend for Americans. Great way to exacerbate inflation and increase our national debt much further. He basically wants to pay people to forget about the damage he’s doing to the economy
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
YouTube TV warns it may be forced to drop the Fox News Channel and other Fox-owned networks on Wednesday.
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
Grew up in Santa Monica, CA. Maga is the party of revenge for petty people who wallow in self-pity.

Stephen Miller is completely full of shit, and he knows it. He's selling hatred of cities to people who do not live in cities and are scared of them.
Dems are apparently "looking for a platform" when the answer is right there: Stop running away from thing that actually help people. Food, housing, healthcare, no genocides, everyone's rights and bodily autonomy protected, a livable world, and all of those things viciously, deftly defended, always.
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
