Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

🧪 RFK Jr recently said that doctors profit off of vaccines. The CDC was a target of shooting by a man who blames his health issues on the Covid vaccine. This administration does not believe in real innovation. This MAHA rhetoric is taking us back decades. He needs to be removed. Sign and share.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why? Because it expired after its shipment was delayed. 1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

Murkowski said “my hope is that the House will recognize we’re not there yet.”If a bill’s not there yet, you vote no. Hope doesn’t keep nursing homes open, feed children, fund disaster recovery, care for veterans, train workers, keep bridges standing, or pay hospital bills.

In response to RFK loading up the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee with anti-vaxxers, medical societies, local health departments, and advocacy groups are working to preserve vaccine access by ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and emphasizing vaccine guidance from medical associations.

Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator. The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.
