El-Sayed: "You just heard something out of my opponent. He said he 'thinks the war is going to end.' He's got a direct line to the president who is making sure the war does not end and he's not using it because he's cheerled this war the entire time."

What the hell are we doing⁉️ Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people at Fort Hood. He deserves to face justice. But Pete Hegseth turning a firing squad execution into a livestreamed spectacle is nuts.

When Jon Husted voted against the release of the Epstein files, he chose to protect predators and enablers instead of fighting for survivors like Annie Farmer, Sharlene Rochard, and Wendy Pesante. I’m honored to be joined by these women in our fight to hold pedophiles and their enablers accountable.

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.

The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.
