Musk is the greatest conflict of interest & thus the greatest case of corruption in US history. By keeping Musk in power, Trump shows that he supports corruption.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

A democracy isn't just about the will of one elected leader being implemented—it’s about a system where power is distributed, checks and balances exist, and different branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial) have roles in decision-making.

Any one of these cabinet confirmations is dangerous. The fact that they all came from the same network of foreign influences is terrifying. The US has been captured by hostile foreign powers, and it may not be reversible.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Once they normalize breaking the rules to go after people who are not citizens of this country, their next phase will be to go after people who are "not the right kind of citizens". By then it will be too late to stop them. Don't let them normalize any of it.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...
