I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

We cannot let a person who has a nematode in his brain, who was addicted to heroin for 14 years, and who drove his wife to take her own life, who has sexual assault allegations against him, and a fetish with dead animals – to make *any* kind of health decisions for *anyone*.

“The list…includes nine Air Force general officers, seven Navy admirals of different ranks and four Army general officers. Eight of those 20 are women even though only 17 percent of the military is female. None are Marines.” www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

Military leaders are rattled by a list of ‘woke’ officers that a group urges Hegseth to fire
Those on the list in many cases seem to be targeted for public comments they made either in interviews or at events on diversity, and in some cases for retweeting posts that promote diversity.

There are probably more than 4 million American kids whose parents Trump wants to deport. As he seems to understand, his "the kids can go, too" approach will have a difficult time surviving public outcry. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Column | How many millions of American kids might see their parents deported by Trump?
President-elect Donald Trump endorsed the idea that his administration would be unburdened by family ties when sending immigrants out of the country.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.
