RFK Jr. has desecrated federal vaccine policy, putting Americans' public health at severe risk. He has upended CDC vaccine guidance and given authority to unqualified, anti-science quacks. If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

It’s odd that the president would need to give an Oval Office address about something as arbitrary (albeit idiotic) as moving Space Force or renaming the DoD. I have to assume he’s doing it because he knows the world thinks he’s hiding.

About to go to bed but the man who ran on "NO NEW WARS" just ordered a lethal military strike on a ship in the Caribbean, alleging it is a "narco terrorist vessel," but of course no regard for Congressional due process, no evidence, & no care for potential civilians. Nothing autocratic about this.😐
