Jesus Christ... the Washington Post is so fallen from its former glory that it tacks on the name of Robert W. Malone—one of the most infamous, shameless, and dangerous misinformation merchants in the United States—as one of the Kennedy Jr. appointees without making any comment about his past at all.

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

"Mainstream media has a duty to inform its audience that Trump/Miller policies are in fact hateful. But it rarely does so. Moran is to be commended for speaking truth to power. Speaking truth to power is, after all, what journalists are supposed to do." — @nberlat.bsky.social

Karen Bass: "On Saturday night, the president tweeted that 'because of the great work of the National Guard, the protests & the violence was curtailed.' The National Guard wasn't even here. They didn't even arrive until the next day. That's why it's very hard to not see this as a stunt or test case"

Members of Congress should be banned from having side hustles and salaries from the companies they regulate… or trading stocks in the companies they regulate… or taking campaign donations from the companies they regulate… These are all examples of corruption. popular.info/p/congressma...

RFK Jr fired the entire vaccine advisory committee. Their job is to ensure vaccine recommendations follow the best available science. He also says the June meeting will happen. So, don't be surprised when his next step is to appoint unqualified grifters. RFK Jr is anti-vax and anti-public health.

LMAO 🤣

Abortion is not a “women’s issue”. It’s health care. Abortion affects entire family systems. Controlling access to abortion controls FAMILIES. All genders care about abortion. All genders need legal abortion. All PEOPLE have a right to bodily autonomy at all times. Without that, we have NOTHING.
