I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Been saying this for awhile: RFK knows vaccines work. He just doesn't think they're worth it because he's a deeply twisted individual who doesn't think that sick people deserve to live.

Just after SCOTUS granted it access to Social Security, DOGE uploaded a database containing the private information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an unsecure cloud. DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion. These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people. Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis. The truth is we can’t afford not to.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

There's a line in the Declaration of Independence blaming King George for having "ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people." The story of what that line is about might surprise you. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-bigges...

The Biggest Coverup of the American Revolution

The Declaration of Independence condemns King George III for having “burnt our towns.” But the British were not to blame for one of the war’s most infamous conflagrations.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Rieckhoff: Trump, smartly—and maybe stupidly—chose to hit the military first. They’re using the military and the Pentagon as a test case for everything they want to do in America. And what I’d say is: if they can come after us, they can come after anyone.

Instead of "No tax on tips," what if no one who made less than $30K had to pay taxes at all, and we only paid taxes on what we make after $30K? Why do only tipped workers deserve this benefit?
