Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

It was pretty clear that RFK Jr's objective was to destroy the market for vaccines so they would become unavailable, all the while framing it as "personal choice".

You know, every turn in this story is just seems to confirm the conspiracy theory that a cabal of ultra-rich pedophiles protect each other and control the world. Like you think, "Oh, that can't possibly be true," and then you read shit like this.
Don Huffines and family changed the name and address of Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling 10,000 acre ranch in New Mexico after using an LLC to purchase it anonymously.
The ranch has reportedly never been searched as part of any criminal investigation related to Epstein (www.krtv.com/us-news/crim...).

Will Democrats get to sue for a gazillion dollars if the DOJ was tracking their research?
Yesterday we learned that the Department of Justice is monitoring and tracking members of Congress’s searches of the Epstein files. There’s no sugar coating it: the administration is spying on lawmakers as they exercise their constitutional oversight responsibilities. 1/10

It's wild that nothing we can dream up as a caricature of the Trump admin is nearly as ridiculous and inexcusable as the truth, which includes "the DHS Secretary fired a Coast Guard pilot because someone forgot her blankie but then rehired the pilot because no one else could fly the airplane."
It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.
