RFK Jr’s “evidence” doesn’t support ending mRNA vaccine development. It makes the case for expanding it.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Don’t you just hate it when you accidentally stumble into an insurrection?
Wes Moore on Fox & Friends: "Our National Guards are not trained for this ... we know the missions that they are trained for. Municipal policing is not one of them. If we want to be serious about making people safe, let's actually do the things that make people safe."
Hundreds of bullets. An officer slain. A silent Trump.

Trump sent 450+ federal officers from nearly 20 agencies onto D.C. streets in a weekend ‘crime crackdown.’
Arrests? A dirt biker, a fugitive, and a suspended-license driver — while violent crime is down 26% from last year.

Note to Kristi Noem:
It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

Mark Walter who owns the Dodgers and the Lakers is in business with Palantir Technologies the app that tracks people and also in Alligator Alley.
Stop supporting his businesses!!
Ghislane Maxwell is a child sex trafficker that Trump just gave immunity to in exchange for her silence on him.
Wanna bet she only names democrats now and magically gets pardoned in a few years?
RFK Jr. to Oust Advisory Panel on Cancer Screenings, HIV Prevention Drugs The task force determines which preventive services insurers must cover at no cost to patients
Folks. What have I been saying since the beginning.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.
They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.
7 things everyone should know about Trump's megabill:
Cuts $930 billion from Medicaid
16 million lose health care
Slashes nutrition aid by $186 billion
Less income for bottom 40% of families
Increases debt by $3.3 trillion
$45 billion for immigration jails
Billions for defense contractors
Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten:
“American people don’t see this as a big, beautiful bill. They see it as a big, bad bill. They hate it, hate it, hate it! They think it’s awful, awful, awful!”
The Phoenix Indian Center is organizing a donation drive to help those impacted by this fire. More info below:
🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.
I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.
Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.
I called my representatives. Did you?
