Q: “How do you define socialism personally?” Vance: “I think in reality, what it actually means in the American context is that you want to replace American workers with foreign workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports.”

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

It’s no coincidence that Donald Trump ran up enormous debts to banks (well over a billion dollars) in his business too. He defaulted on two multimillion dollar loans. And defaulted on massive debt obligations in *six* corporate bankruptcies. Pity the U.S. doesn’t have a rich daddy to bail us out.
