Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.
He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

I went table to table in a Vero Beach Waffle House asking retirees how the market crash has impacted them. Most laughed with satisfaction, explaining that they’d long ago sold their stocks to invest in $TRUMP coin, $MELANIA coin, and limited edition MyPillows.

Trump circumvented Congress on tariffs by declaring a Fentanyl emergency. A handful of Republicans in Congress can stop the tariffs by joining with Democrats. Call your electeds and tell them.

Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts.
Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations.
But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people.
See how this works?

Regressive tax hike on everything you buy plus tax cuts weighted toward the wealthy plus increased deficits plus slashing cuts to all public services and the social safety net... this is a very bad combination.

#TrumpCrash hit a historic mark.
It is only the fourth time in history that the DOW has lost 2,000 points in a single day - and that follows a huge drop yesterday, too.
The DOW is down nearly 4,000 since the #TrumpTariffs were announced on Weds night. #Trumponomics
