1st: vaccines work 2nd: social media companies developed their OG vaccine policies in response to outbreaks like this in Samoa & Bklyn. Not COVID! They boosted good info. They labeled false claims. That got redefined as “censorship” by ppl who profit from lies. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s hard right National Rally, has cancelled his plans to speak at CPAC after Steve Bannon “proactively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology.” In other words, Bannon and CPAC are now too extreme for the French extreme right.

NEW: DOGE has operated in relative darkness even as it appears to be behind an explosive — and legally disputed — overhaul of the government. But details about the Musk-led agency teams have emerged in court. We review (and link to docs) here: www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

BREAKING: In a stunning moment of defiance, Maine's Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump, saying she is complying with state and federal (anti-discrimination) law, and will see him in court over his threat to withhold federal funds. This is incredible.

This statement is fabricated. Immigrants who are not lawfully present in the United States get zero dollars of Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. People entrusted with high office and great power have a duty to minimally inform themselves before blaring dangerous nonsense.

As DOGE and Trump claim to be rooting out govt waste, remember that the first Trump administration granted "church" status to the Family Research Council, allowing the nonprofit to shield its finances from public scrutiny. It also can't be audited without ok from a high-level Treasury official.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
