Rfk jr says the burden of chronic disease is the fault of the Biden adm. Besides for statistics proving otherwise, what does he (& maga) think will be the outcome for chronic disease after reversing the very regulations tasked with preventing big business from dumping toxins into our water & air?

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant. They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

This isn’t education, it’s indoctrination. The Trump administration gutted PBS and NPR not to save money, but to control the narrative. In their place, PragerU is moving into more classrooms. Already in Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Idaho schools.

More than 70 million Americans are directly enrolled in Medicaid. But all 330 million of us rely on a health care system that Medicaid helps fund and sustain. In a very real sense, we are all “on Medicaid.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issues visa revocations for Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, his "allies on the court" and their immediate families in bid to protect indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is accused of an attempted coup d'etat.
.@POTUS made clear that his administration will hold accountable foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States. Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes's political witch hunt against Jair Bolsonaro created a persecution and censorship complex so sweeping that it not only violates basic rights of Brazilians, but also extends beyond Brazil's shores to target Americans. 

I have therefore ordered visa revocations for Moraes and his allies on the court, as well as their immediate family members effective immediately.

This is the line from the horrific SCOTUS decision today that will stick with me. “Sure, the president should follow the law - but the courts can’t force him to do it.” Rendering the Constitution a dead letter if the president decides he’d rather not deal with it.
