i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Everyone—but ESPECIALLY the press—should assume everything that comes from DHS is a lie. Whether a perverse & moronic attempt to blame affordability problems on immigrants, a description of Border Patrol shooting someone five times, if DHS says it then it’s a lie

Remember last month when DHS claimed they were forced to shoot a woman w a semi-automatic weapon—part of a 10 vehicle convoy that had blocked in Border Patrol agents—bc she rammed one of their vehicles?
DOJ just dropped all charges
Always assume DHS is lying

Sorting through my memories of everything that happened on Tuesday, and reflecting on how some of the first phone calls I got and first people I saw onsite were union leaders in Saint Paul. I don’t know that unions ever get the credit they deserve for showing up for ALL workers, all the time.

someone once wrote that the highest proportion of calories per dollar you can get is boxed cake mix and I’ve never forgotten it
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

could someone please let Labour know?
it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.
