For all the people alarmed by the rapid rise in the national debt, the Biden Administration tried hard to raise taxes on the wealthiest, and SInema crossed over to join the 50 R Senators so there weren't votes to take a step back from oligarchy. She's a big part of how the super rich got richer

He hates when anyone asks a hard question, and lashes out vindictively. And having openly said that he was giving Argentina this money to influence their election on behalf of his buddy, it's hard for him to segue to "they're all going to die without this money"

I wish that there had been unprecedented spending opposing the gerrymandering in red states, but I guess no rich people felt that their interests were imperiled by it.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Per filing, the government on Thursday offered to deport Abrego to Costa Rica if he agreed to plead guilty.

Then, on Friday, Abrego was released from criminal detention.

ICE immediately informed his counsel that it intended to deport him to Uganda.

Secretary Kennedy:
 On August 8, 2025, a gunman opened fire on the headquarters of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), killing DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose and leaving
public health workers at the CDC and around the nation fearing for their safety after years of
increasing threats following the COVID-19 pandemic.
1
 While the investigation is ongoing, early
reports suggest that the gunman, who fired nearly 500 rounds during the attack, was motivated
by his misinformation-fueled belief that his depression and suicidality were caused by the
COVID-19 vaccine.2
Just hours before a police officer was brutally murdered and CDC headquarters would be
scarred with bullets, forcing hundreds employees into lockdown, Dr. Robert Malone, whom you
recently appointed to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), uploaded a
post to his personal blog that included an image of a revolver loaded with a single bullet and the
words β€œFive out of six scientists have proven that Russian roulette is harmless.”3
 Less than 48
hours after the attack, Dr. Malone issued a meme-filled post that included violent and threatening
images that appeared to be directed at government officials, writing, β€œif you need a disarmed
society to govern, you suck at governing.”4

Dr. Malone has displayed an unfathomable failure of judgment and heartlessness for the
family of slain Officer Rose, and for the thousands of CDC staff on whom the work of ACIP
depends. Dr. Malone’s escalating and violent rhetoricβ€”including in the aftermath of this tragic
incidentβ€”has no place on a panel responsible for determining immunization recommendations
for children and adults throughout our country. I therefore call on you to immediately fire Dr.
Malone from his role on ACIP.
The shooting of a police officer in the line of duty is not only a criminal actβ€”it is an
assault on the stability and safety of our communities. Law enforcement officers and public
health officials already face serious risks in their work protecting the public. Those risks are
heightened by ideologically motivated attacks, which send a chilling message about the
normalization of violence in public discourse. A federal agency must absolutely avoid even the
appearance of legitimating such statements by keeping in a position of power someone who
makes them.

Last week’s profound tragedy shows the harms that result from replacing science with
zealotry – not only the increased risk of disease, but also ideologically motivated violence.
Appointing Dr. Malone and retaining him in this role would seem to legitimate incendiary
rhetoric and dangerous misinformation.
Your response must begin with the immediate firing of Dr. Malone, but should rightly
include restoring the entire ACIP panel that existed before it was decimated last June. At that
time, you replaced 17 sitting members, whose qualifications and expertise were unchallengeable,
with conspiracy theorists and purveyors of misinformation. In an op-ed in the Wall Street
Journal about these firings, you lamented that, without your actions, β€œthe current Trump
administration would not have been able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028.”6
