I would ask people to call or message their senators about this and specifically that Vinay Prasad needs to be out at FDA. Even the Wall Street Journal has said as much. There is push back. Companies wonโ€™t fund clinical trials if they canโ€™t trust the FDA.

There needs to be some serious accountability for the colossal harm to life these absolute demons have caused, and will cause. Life in prison is the moderate option.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the โ€œerasure of white cultureโ€. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Honestly a good plate of Mexican food, soul food, or Indian food and a smoothie or two will get you to the goal. Have some hummus, eat apples, eat the skin on your potatoes and win. Red beans and rice, chili with beans, hell add white beans or cooked lentils to your pasta sauce and blend.

Yeah, and I think ppl are rightly concerned about how that money would be spent. We've seen money go to consultants who provide terrible advice. We've seen messages, positions, and candidates ignored, attacked, abandoned. More importantly, the Dem brand is crap & leaders think otherwise.

Trump's Vile Obama Video Follows the White House's Official White Nationalist Line DHS and other agencies have been spewing racist goals as government policy

Trump's racist video depicting the Obamas as apes wasn't a mistakeโ€”it's part of a pattern. From DHS posting neo-Nazi recruitment material to erasing slavery exhibits, white nationalism has become official government policy.

Thank you to a generation of "savvy" Dem strategists for repeating over and again that talking about race is "divisive" thus handing voters earphones where unrelenting racism - generally via dog whistles - is blasted in one ear and the other plays silence, or economic pablum.

lol I don't think a lot of white people believe that Black people are reliable narrators of our own stories.

And IMO this comes from white people wanting to downplay how much anti-Black racism shapes Black people's lives.

He liked it because it had the Obamas as monkeys. He didn't pick up on the details. He probably saw the racist images and was like, "cool, I'm posting this."

Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it?
Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge?
How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account?
Who are those people?
Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else?
How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump?
Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct?
If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously?
What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post?
Has the staffer been disciplined in any way?
Will the staffer continue to have access to his account?
What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account?
Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it?
How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post?
The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability?
What does it say about the President's honesty?
What does it say about the President's credibility?
Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something  widely seen as indefensible?
What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it?
Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

Three thoughts.

1. Itโ€™s always been about the white nationalism

2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning

3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness
