@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "It's reverse Robinhood. It's welfare for the wealthy. And it's a travesty that this [private school voucher] scam has passed into law here in Texas. But we should do everything we can to stop this from happening at the federal level."

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.
