I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.

Good morning! 🌞 Morning Glory Muffins are on the menu in the Cheap Veggie kitchen. I made these plant-based by using flax eggs (1 tablespoon flax meal to 2 1/2 tablespoons of water) for each egg needed.

Children's Health Defense (CHD), founded by HHS Secretary RFK Jr, has created an imposter webpage that closely mimics a CDC webpage on Autism and Vaccines. It is nefariously seeding disinformation by presenting a seemingly balanced argument on the science supporting and refuting autism and vaccines.

This Republican congressman says he prefers virtual town halls because “Democrat” activists are “disrupting” in-person events—even though he hasn’t actually had one. Rep Hudson, this is a bullshit excuse. Your constituents are your constituents, no matter their party. Your job is to listen to them.

Note to the media: You don’t have to cover the White House the way they want you to, ya know. You don’t have to regurgitate their propaganda, go to their press events, play by their rules, cover them like past White Houses that respected a free press and an independent media. So don’t.
