If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

Preparing for the possibility you could be targeted by the president is one of those things that's both uncomfortable to think about and — sadly — really essential these days. If you run a nonprofit or know anyone who does, you should read this. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/what-to-do...

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Deporting Vietnamese and Burmese migrants to South Sudan, a nation plagued by conflict and poverty, defies legal orders and basic humanity. This isn't just a bureaucratic error; it's a deliberate act of cruelty. #3E

While Trump continues to cry for white South Africans, bemoaning a bogus white genocide, House Republicans voted for massive Medicaid cuts — voted for poor and middle class Americans to die by the millions

Republicans keep clinging to Joe Biden's health to ignore Donald Trump's decline. "Let me remind everyone that Joe Biden is out of politics, while Donald Trump – the guy babbling incoherently about Bruce Springsteen, Oprah and Bono – has the nuclear codes." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

I am often critical of legacy media, but we all owe a debt of gratitude to the 60 Minutes team, Bill Owens and now Wendy McMahon for standing up for what is right while CBS's owner prepares for total surrender and capitulation. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/b...

Trump's big beautiful bill expands the estate tax exemption yet again. While millions will get kicked off healthcare and lose crucial food assistance, Republicans are enabling the super-rich to pass down their obscene wealth virtually tax free. We must stop this bill.

We want to call out a blatant lie spread by Elon Musk. Under his leadership, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claimed that 40% of calls to the Social Security Administration (SSA) were fraudulent. That’s been thoroughly debunked. An internal review of over 110,000

More inspo— because we need it these days. In On Tyranny, Timothy Snyder says: Lesson #2: Protect institutions. When Trump fired the Librarian of Congress, staff blocked his pick, insisting Congress approve first. They held the line. Democracy depends on that. edition.cnn.com/2025/05/12/p...

Biden has made fighting cancer for all of us his top priority for a decade. He’s now been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. He never denied a disaster declaration, red or blue state. He’s a good man, a statesman, he cares about this country.

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

The FBI is disbanding a squad that handles investigations into members of Congress and fraud by federal employees, according to people familiar with the matter, a move that comes as the Trump administration seeks to eliminate or marginalize units responsible for public corruption cases.

People don't understand that there is always a limited amount of wealth, in order for the richest to be as rich as possible everyone else must have nothing. They don't want to help you get richer, they pretend to while they steal everything you have.
