US Constitution is still the Supreme Law.
The First Amendment is a part of the U.S. Bill of Rights that protects fundamental rights from government interference, including freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the government.

Is there anything that Joe Rogan could do to redeem his soul? He IS personally responsible for Trump’s election.

Tylenol is safe. The Republican Administration's statements are not backed by evidence.
www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-...

Trump and Kennedy claim it's unsafe to give young children Tylenol. What does the science say?

After advising that Tylenol be avoided during pregnancy, the president and health secretary broadened their claims to suggest without evidence that babies and kids shouldn't take it, either.

"We conquered scarcity. Now we’re consumed by abundance." - maps like this might be statistically true, but look in your fridge and your wallet... is this abundance shared by all the people? No. "Should" it be shared?

The Trump administration has ordered investigations into former Biden aides, bullied law firms and cut federal funding to universities. The Economist's polling with YouGov shows how Americans feel about all of it econ.st/4q0n4ik?utm_...

Dear Leader's April results had similarly declared him “fully fit to serve,” clocking in at 6’2” and 224 pounds — which, as Hayes dryly noted, puts him in the same weight class as Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs.

In his words ….

“Well, they did sign up for it actually, and this is what I campaigned on.”

For all the people leaving maga saying, “we didn’t know it would be this bad, he deceived us.”

No he didn’t, he was pretty clear.

You just didn’t care until it affected you.

Colorado AG Phil Weiser (D) is calling on Coloradans to turn out en masse for Oct 18 demonstrations against President Trump’s use of the military in American cities. “Don’t be afraid,” Weiser said. “Don’t be afraid to show up.” #copolitics

It's hilarious their idea of God is so America centric that God doesn't reward his followers with a land overflowing with grain, rivers of milk, and a world so divine and blissful, but rather some random plot of land in Oklahoma to play cowboy

I don't think that Joe Rogan can ever redeem his sins. Podcasters and streamers who once treated Donald Trump like the second coming are now apparently realizing that hitching their brand to a would-be strongman might not have been the best move.
