I too don't want anyone taking medical advice from RFK, but guess who voted to confirm him as the person people should take medical advice from.

What makes him think any of them will want to come to the fascists states of america. They will all cancel, and go to a previous venue, telling trump, to personally go pound sand until he is unconscious and unable to do additional harm to himself and others.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

They are not the Republican Party. They have aligned with Putin, their focus, as was in the Cold War, undermined the U.S.. we thought we won, instead the Cold War continued, just on a different battlefield, and now Putin declared victory.

facts, they should be in court showing and participating in due process. Instead we have authoritarian political assertions of outcome before truthful facts ever hit the table. When every ICE agent gets due process as they are prosecuted for their crimes, they will be given what they stoled.

🧵Billionaire Benioff, who lives mostly on the big island of Hawaii, said Trump sending federal troops to San Francisco to fight crime was a good thing right before his Dreamforce meeting of 50K in SF. Musk agreed.

Then after a deserved uproar he cancels this presser with the Mayor, blaming rain.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."
