"I did kind of help Trump... Obviously, it has not been ideal."🥸 Joe Rogan laughs about helping to get Trump elected, as he concedes he fell for lies Trump "sold" about draining the swamp, etc. (Trump is by far the most corrupt president in American history)

As Health Director for Wayne County, we put vending machines with free Narcan and fentanyl test strips in 100 locations. We hoped to make even a small dent in offsetting the opioid epidemic that Mike Rogers made even worse by voting with the pharmaceutical industry his entire career in Congress.

Chicago is NOT having it! Thousands took to the street yesterday in response to the orange overlord’s threats to our city. Today, hundreds showed up in Downers Grove, a nearby burb, when we found out ICE is staying at the Hampton Inn here. We will not be afraid & we will defend our neighbors!

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.

It’s always great to see the orange felon being booed everywhere he goes, especially when the boos are thunderous like those he received at the US Open men’s final in New York. He should be in jail, not watching tennis whilst destroying the country.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

More evidence that the MAGA governors are fascist. The MAGA Party is an extremist cult of backward zombies with no original thoughts. They are as deranged as Trump.

Questions that should have been asked during today’s briefing: 1. Your first question was to a man who spread the QAnon pizzagate lie. Is that what this WH thinks journalism should be? 2. If this administration wants to be tough on crime, then why is it coddling a notorious child rapist/trafficker?

to be honest One of greatest passages ever written down, was down a few paragraphs into the Declaration of Independence... This too I'll post... It'll take 2 full posts. It, is even more powerful and reminds us that We, the Sovereign are the power; authority for it, resides one way, from the People.
