Duffy embarked on the all-expenses-paid Great American Road Trip, designed as a “guide to the historic landmarks, open roads, and small towns that tell 250 years of this country’s story.” But as the financing has come into view, the trip looks less like civic uplift than a rolling ethics problem.

The CDC Doesn’t Want You To See A CDC Report On How Effective COVID Vaccines Are
One of the most remarkable staffing decisions of the second Trump administration has been to allow the anti-vaxxers to run America's health agencies. While RFK Jr. and his cadre of lieutenants prattle on about how they're going to be super transparent, data-driven stewards of American health, their actions have put the lie to all of it. Vague statements about diseases, disinformation about the cause and source of other diseases, missed appointment deadlines for key personnel are all combined to create an HHS full of chaos, confusion, and the storied practice of CYA.

I am not sure the GOP is capable of any serious governing-they just can't learn! In Iowa, there is no budget, no plan for water quality, no ban on eminent domain for private use, no property tax reform... YET, they resurrected a dead bill on banning 'plan B' pills. Just assenine

Children in Lubbock, Texas were admitted to the hospital with liver damage. Not from measles. From vitamin A toxicity — because their parents followed RFK Jr.’s advice and gave them cod liver oil to treat measles. He is the sitting U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. #SheShed

So, does anyone here believe there is really a ceasefire deal? It seems to me somebody with brains and b___ls told him it was war crime- genocide, (in addition to what he's done) and that he was setting himself up for the 25th amendment. 🌮

Glad this was vetoed. We agree this bill injected politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan. Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed SB1439, which would have created a special “Turning Point” license plate and directed $17 of the $25 fee to Turning Point USA.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.
