Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

Horrific political assassinations took place in America, & we’ve totally erased it from the National Conversation™️ because they happened in the Midwest instead of Manhattan & we’re not a serious country. Incredibly depressing on so many deep, pathetic levels. May their memories be a blessing.

You might also notice how he adds “if they have any” to “the ability to consult legal rights”. And I can’t help but wonder if the “ability for food” phrasing is hinting that food will not be universally provided to all detainees.

RFK Jr.’s anti-science crusade is already endangering lives, and it’s only the beginning. His rise, like Trump’s, is a direct threat to public health, medical freedom, and scientific progress. The attempt to overturn FDA approval of the abortion pill shows how far they’ll go.

I’m very concerned that we’re getting close to a point where the regime commands military forces to commit unconstitutional and illegal violence against their fellow Americans. If that happens, the fate of the republic will rest on them following the constitution, and refusing the orders.

1000 measles cases. It’s no coincidence that this has happened after DOGE cancelled $11 billion that went to state and local public health departments. It’s no coincidence that this has happened after the CDC fired infectious disease experts. Trump and RFK Jr. must act to stop measles now.
