I get why you might be scared of Trump, but the way that everyone, from Walz on, crumbles beneath this putz confuses the hell out of me!

I'm actually a bit shocked that a national Democrat with eyes on '28 hasn't called out Vance for his cowardice on Fuentes and the Groypers.
Maybe I'm naive. Or perhaps they have centrist pollsters in their frontal lobes preventing them from being the first to take a stand that matters.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Whenever the MAGA-verse talks about media fairness or ‘both sides’ what it really means is ‘give liars more air time & don’t you dare fact check.’ Keep that in mind when you hear David Ellison, Bari Weiss, Bill Maher & others pretend to talk about fact based journalism.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.
The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.
They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.
