DOGE's cuts to USAID "have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children" I don't think it's an exaggeration to say Elon Musk is a mass murderer, and GOP Congressmembers are his accomplices They, too, should be asked in every interview 'why did you help Elon kill those kids?'

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

I warned that confirming RFK Jr. would be a deadly decision. By withholding vaccines from parents who want to keep their kids safe, Trump, RFK Jr. and every Republican that voted to confirm him will have the blood of American children on their hands.

We blame Joe Biden because he was the last link in the chain and because it’s safer than coming to terms with the reality. And because Biden is fading while the reality endures. It’s safer to lay the blame at his feet.

America is now an encompassing proof aiming to confirm, via data, that the political left has always known more about industry, innovation and what’s essential to American independence, individualism and ingenuity than the right—and that the right knows only how to use government to cheat and steal.
