Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republicanβ€”it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off.

Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a β€œclown.”

He’s not just cruelβ€”he’s a coward.

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

The grimmest realization is not the very old one that Trump is a hyper-sensitive narcissist who thinks criticizing him should be illegal.

The grimmest realization is that a substantial number of Americans are born serfs, best suited for a monarchy, who thinks that’s manly and admirable and right.

The @democrats.senate.gov need a new leader. Schumer is unable to meet this moment. He cannot be the opposition leader when he’s a spineless collaborator.

Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

"We're going to have to suffer through some bad news." To them, it's just bad news. A bummer headline. To actual real people, it means losing a job. Losing benefits. Losing their house, their car, their savings. This isn't a game.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

So, a couple of decades ago, a couple of randos that had failed at adulting successfully got jobs with the US DoD. Against all odds, working for DoD suited them, and they excelled. At one point, they wound up working in eastern Europe on a peacekeeping mission together and became brothers in arms.

Elon Musk Says DOGE 'Accidentally Canceled' Ebola Prevention Elon Musk made alarming comments about Ebola prevention measures during President Donald Trump's first Cabinet meeting.

Infectious diseases don’t stay put and they don’t take breaks. US-funded systems that work to stop outbreaks of deadly diseases like Ebola can’t be simply be toggled on and off like a light switch. Lapses have consequences. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it.

They did it for PEPFAR.

Now Ebola.

I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧡

Wild that this is happeningβ€”claiming mRNA vaccines have caused β€œenormous numbers of deaths” & can "shed to others and cause harm”

And making vaccine administration a misdemeanor?

First full week of RFK, & it’s hard to imagine this won't happen in other states, too.
