WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't know how many died

W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that

W: How can you be that ignorant?

"Julie" wasn't the only girl he sang to. Christmas circa 1971, Santa brought me his "Gettin' Together" LP for two reasons:
1. I though he was such a hunk.
2. The song "Jennifer" was on it. You brought a smile to this young girl's heart, Bobby Sherman. Peace be with his family. Go rest high, Bobby.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Valerie Mahaffey was a terrific actress. Interestingly, what comes to mind first is a short-lived sitcom, "The Powers That Be." Her co-stars included Holland Taylor, John Forsyth, David Hyde-Pierce, a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and others. Such a gifted actress. Rest in peace, Valerie.

You are doing what you are able to do, and that is enough. Tend to your needs, and get the help/respite/refreshment that you need. Take a break if you need to. I know what you are feeling. Know you are not alone.

Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

Absolutely.

My Time on 60 Minutes and Why I Refuse To Stay Silent From Marc | From the opening words of Judge Beryl Howell’s opinion to the 60 Minutes closing credits, this has been an emotional weekend for me personally.

Thank you to everyone who wrote to me to offer support about my appearance on 60 Minutes.🙏

I will never back down or go silent. I hope that what I write might help others, especially lawyers, speak out as well. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

God had nothing to do with this. This indicates a severe sickness of the mind.

It will take a massive revolution to reverse this, and massive voter turnout in the midterms if we can stave off more Project 2025 efforts and the SAVE Act is defeated in the Senate. The DNC needs to get in the rural areas, listen and educate.

I get it. I understand the feeling. His death will not end this insanity, though. 77,302,580 voted for this insanity. J.D. Vance embraced the man he once called "America's Hitler" and waits in the wings. He's will likely lose elections because he lacks the "cult personality" Trumpers voted for.

Booker: For people with 401(k) accounts and retirement savings, they’ve lost thousands. I’ve been hearing from people who had hoped to retire this year after working 25, 30, or even 35 years, but now they don’t think they have enough money because he’s taken $6 trillion overall out of the markets.

A week after my remarks on the Senate floor I am more energized then ever to continue to fight for Americans on Medicaid, Americans worried about Social Security, Americans looking for opportunity in their local economy.

The fight for democracy is the cause of our time. I created Democracy Docket to be fearlessly pro-democracy. No corporate overlords, no compromises, it will never obey.

Letterman for Pres!

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

All of this could have been avoided if enough people had just decided to vote for a competent Black Indian woman.

Racism...the downfall of America.

Adam, I hope you will be in public office again. We may disagree on some issues and policies, but you love this country, and have served it with respect and honor.

I don't think this pain will be "short-term."

The people cutting lines of credit know this.

The people instituting hiring freezes know this.

The people who've lost their jobs know this.

The Republicans in Congress repeating Trump talking points while their voices quake know this.

My thoughts exactly.

Yep.

Notice to flat-Earthers all around the globe: Please alert the authorities if tonight’s Total Lunar Eclipse looks like this:

Unless we elect open-minded and open-hearted people, discrimination based on personal prejudice will be allowed in Georgia. "RFRA" is a "license to discriminate." Choose respecting others as you want to be respected. Choose valuing the right of your neighbors to live as freely as you do.

Not surprising, but sad to hear.

On the way to Perico, Cuba to visit our sisters and brothers in Perico, Santa Clara, and Matanzas! Your Oakhurst siblings will see you soon!

Dear GOP,

I wish you loved America.

Signed,

Someone who cares
