RFK Jr. wants to eliminate as many vaccines as he can. Don’t believe him when he claims otherwise and says he just wants better science and safer vaccines He’s lying. His endgame is, for all practical purposes, to eliminate access to vaccines. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Cole Schmidtknecht, 22, had insurance but couldn’t afford to refill his asthma inhaler after the cost jumped from $70 to more than $500. Five days after his pharmacy visit last year, Cole had a severe asthma attack and died.

Cool! At any given time, criminology experts estimate there are about 50 active but as yet unknown serial killers operating in the U.S. at any given time. At least one has been definitively identified!

puking at how utterly unjust this big shitty bill is.

When he was 15, my grandpa came to America in search of a better life. He became a citizen at 50—it was the proudest day of his life. Would he even be welcome today under Stephen Miller’s policies of anti-immigrant hate and fear? Let’s not forget what made America great in the first place.

The US Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, seemingly does not know about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges: “I will look into it and get back to you.”

At a time when the Trump Administration is divesting from Black and underserved communities, in Maryland, we’re proving there’s a better way: 💰 We secured $1.3 billion for HBCUs, an increase of nearly 60% 🤝 We delivered more than $800 million in state contracts to Black-owned businesses

This is true. WTF

Boasberg: "Absent this relief, the Government could snatch anyone off the street, turn him over to a foreign country, and then effectively foreclose any corrective course of action." An unassailable point. The fact that the U.S. government is fighting this tells you what you need to know.

Today I introduced the BARK Act to help America feed hungry shelter animals. We need everyone involved to get this bi-paw-tisan bill passed into law, including from our furry friends. We’re in dogged pursuit of passage this Congress. Send good pet pictures below ⬇️

This is about increasing crop yields and preserving soil quality, you hare-brained Luddites.

We’ll keep saying it: the Jewish community’s legitimate fears and concerns should not exploited to undermine core democratic norms, or otherwise advance discriminatory & unconstitutional policies. Doing so only makes Jews - and all communities - less safe.

Phang: And listen, he’s got a beefy lawsuit here. You can imagine what discovery is going to be like once this case moves forward—because it will. It will not be dismissed…

Trump got no concessions from his boss, but he did make it clear to Vladimir Putin that the United States is OK with Russia brutally retaliating against Ukraine's attacks on its planes, probably by attacking Ukrainian civilians. What a worthless clown.

Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike. His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.

This exchange is revealing, terrifying, and intellectually bankrupt. No world leader would ever want to enter a room to deal with this guy because he's a crank.

Trump has signed an order doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%. The move hikes import taxes on the metals, which are used in everything from cars to canned food, for the second time since March. This will drive up prices for American consumers on a wide range of products.

Total ignoramus runs our "Education" Dept.

This was posted on President Trump's Truth Social account and then promptly deleted. Writing pattern analysis categorically excludes President Trump as the author. So, who wrote this garbage?

This week, I visited Eugene Triplett's fifth-generation family farm in Culpeper. As the only Virginian on the Ag Committee, I was honored to visit his farm, hear his story, and discuss how I'm working to save programs that help him sell produce to local churches and schools.

This triad of rulings lets districts know that the Trump admin can’t put essential school programs at risk—because a school or a state won’t stop teaching honest history or helping all kids. It’s really vital particularly for those who depend on Title I funding www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
