HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine β€œWild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

Dems Shouldn’t Run Away From the USAID Fightβ€”They Should Win It A party that lets the opposition dictate the terms of all the debates will inevitably lose them.

"Now that Republicans have pulled a 180 and started licking foreign dictators’ boots while abandoning every effective tool of American influence in the world, are Democrats truly incapable of capitalizing?"

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, β€œhe’s just eating the pieces” on the board.

Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Yes, I’ve done this for decades, but even more religiously now. It’s the only language they understand. So worth it.

This is the way.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Exclusive: RFK Jr.’s Anti-Vaxx Group Paid Nearly $1 Million to Woman Who Accused Him of Sexual Misconduct Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s anti-vaccine nonprofit paid a nearly $1 million to a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct, multiple sources told Mediaite.

Senate is about to give a prestigious job to RFK Jr, a man whose anti-vaxx group had to pay nearly $1 million to women who accused him of sexual misconduct. There are other instances too.

Apparently, it is too much to ask that we don't reward men who abuse women.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
