Even after Trump, we’re going to be living in a world where the federal government’s capacity to perform basic functions and deliver reliable information has been totally shattered. And one party will be committed to the idea that reality is what they say it is. Trump is remaking the environment.

We know Kennedy is going to use bogus data to declare that vaccines cause autism.

And he announced we'd have an answer by September. The fix was in.

They can threaten you all they want and will detain you but they cannot arrest you for upholding your constitutional right. If they do (and with Trump in office they probably will), you have an almost guaranteed lawsuit win on your hands. Do not answer cops.
