As a US senator, I'd find it tragic if Americans replaced vaccines with psychedelics and scammy supplements. But it would be even more tragic if I lost in a Republican primary. Therefore, I will be voting to confirm the kooky wellness influencer that Trump nominated for surgeon general.

I’ve never owned a Les Paul. I should probably get one…

At that price you’re saving money!

You’re a Dr. You owe it to yourself.

The gap between how the media views swing voters (thoughtful patriots who carefully consider the nuances between the two presidential candidates) vs. how they actually are (think the government controls the weather and are mad winter was too cold this year) has truly never been bigger.

A lotta people here will be looking pretty dumb if it turns out that Kash Patel found Savannah Guthrie's mom in the Team USA locker room.

Twitter is owned by a fascist who deliberately manipulates the algorithms to promote far right messages. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

The fact that it’s published as a study in an academic journal is 🤌🏻

On this Caribbean Island, Kid Rock still means the title of a playlist made by Jeffrey Epstein. But they do know this: Your past support of statutory rape is erased when you accept Jesus and Charlie Kirk into your heart.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Whether it’s appearing 38,000 times in the Epstein files or posting a video of the Obamas as apes, Mr. Trump is testing the limits of presidential norms

Donald Trump’s posting and unposting of racist videos of the former First Lady and President gives us more insight into Biden’s mental deficiencies.

If the government won't bail out my crypto losses, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and the American economy is crumbling. But some singer I've ever heard of said the US was "stolen land" on an awards show that I didn't watch. I have never felt more politically homeless.

RFK Jr. Questions Efficacy Of Skin WASHINGTON—In a firm dismissal of decades of scientific research and real-world data on the organ’s benefits and safety, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly questioned t...

“Everything we know about skin has been learned from so-called scientific studies funded by large corporations who have a financial stake in keeping our musculature covered in an unnecessary layer of man-made flesh,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.

But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.

Yes, Tom Homan took a $50,000 bribe in a Cava bag, but if he takes over the Minnesota operation for Gregory Bovino, it will be a win for civility and decency.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

As a principled libertarian I have no trouble with ICE entering homes without a warrant as long as the people in those homes are liberals.

Also seems like a good moment to remember that we haven’t heard more about Ross’s “internal bleeding” since that CBS scoop.

Now all I need is for the correct size matching set to be available at one place in the hospital.

Opinion | I'm a pro-family conservative. Here's why I'm ok with Trump being best friends with a pedophile, Elon Musk creating a mountain of kiddie porn, and ICE abducting five-year-olds.

I ran for office last cycle. Always, uh, interesting, hearing from voters.

Elon Musk just banned a Democratic senator from Twitter for essentially no reason. Here’s why the liberal media has a free speech problem.
