RFK Jr. is living in a pretend anti-vax world Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.

In a marathon hearing on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, RFK Jr. faced a barrage of questions from senators who were outraged by his recent actions.

In some cases, Kennedy appeared to promote flat-out lies.

Fourth of July just hits different ever since america turned evil earlier this year

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens.

Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S. The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Nailed it. Nailed it hard.

This hasn't aged well.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

KIMMEL: "We have a national security advisor who doesn't know how to secure. A defensive secretary of defense, a pro-measles secretary of health, and a secretary of education who wants to close the Department of Education."

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed for coronavirus vaccines, warned that a measles outbreak shows how confidence in science is being “undermined.”

This is a huge loss for FDA regulatory science. Peter Marks led FDA CBER during COVID vax clinical development. Rigorous standards for safety/efficacy were met before emergency use authorization. Peter Marks was one of the COVID heroes while RFK Jr was spreading disinformation.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID

"The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people."

Well done.

That looks like a gift bag she’s about to unwrap, pretty sure she recently cracked open a shipping container.
