RFK Jr. has BLOCKED me on Threads.
I can't search or view his profile anymore. All because I asked him to resign as HHS Secretary.
This is what happens when you speak the TRUTH.
But I won’t be silent.
I will continue exposing the Trump administration’s failures no matter the cost.

What has DOGE done?
- Fired the people tasked with keeping Americans safe from the bird flu.
- Gutted the IRS workforce during filing season.
- Fired the FAA workers who make sure it’s safe for us to fly in planes.
Does that sound like efficiency to you?
