We’re living in a time when the HHS secretary is arguing with a governor about children dying from measles. We’re living through largest measles outbreak in 35 yrs. Before RFK Jr. we were a nation that had eradicated one of the most deadly vaccine preventable childhood diseases. Now we’re not🤨

Unjustified podcast read my question during Sep 6 episode. What benefit do J6 convicted felons get from having their indictments annulled? It restores full rights to convicted felons (ie. guns) whose sentences were commuted. DOJ rewriting history to remove inconvenient facts from public record.

I know there are more important things going on in the world, but what’s happening with the Lincoln reflecting pool repairs? There was such a rush to perform the vanity project but no word on getting it repaired. The pool is drained, fenced off and the public is unable to access it.

SecDef is ordering the dismantling of a newly formed drone battalion meant to develop drone combat operations. This rash decision is undermining our military’s ability to win modern wars. IMO this battalion is being shuttered because SecDef fired the general responsible for creating it.

The unitary executive theory is antithetical to our constitutional republic. It’s been the Robert’s court pet project for a generation. It’s led to the current White House occupant who believes he’s omnipotent and answerable to none.

MAGAts are working to erase history by pardoning insurrectionists and trying to convince the public it was a group of peaceful tourists. The Jan 6 insurrection against our constitution was real. It’s also a fact the American people elected him to a second term in 2024. #NeverForget

NEW: The LAPD announced just became the largest police department in the country to drop its Flock contract. This came after an audit found that, in a two-month period, the LAPD improperly "investigated" 161 people whose cars were flagged as stolen in their ALPR system but were not actually stolen.

Data centers should be charged 2-3x the rate for electricity, and residents should be charged greatly reduced rates wherever they exist. Data centers must be zoned outside of all residential and public commerce areas and subject to all environmental impact report requirements & regulations.
