RFK Jr justifies firing scientists on the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee due to “conflicts of interest.”

Yet RFK Jr made almost $100K a year from anti-vax lawsuits and almost $90K a month from his anti-vax nonprofit.

The person with the biggest conflict of interest at HHS is the one leading it.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Trump’s 6 Worst Attacks on FEMA in the First 100 Days Trump has stretched FEMA thin and axed crucial programs as we head into hurricane season.

It seemed like nearly every day of the first 100 days of the Trump administration brought another attack on FEMA. UCS’s Shana Udvardy offers a rundown of some of the administration’s worst attacks on the agency, which was created to help communities prepare for and withstand catastrophic disasters.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.

Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”

Translation: No.

Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Now we know why he didn’t have his hand on the Bible when he took the Oath of Office.

It will happen. We are making it happen. Saturday's national protests were fantastic, everyone! Let's keep up the pressure. Democracy. US Constitution. Rule of Law. Due Process. Checks and Balances.

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia.

He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine.

Hmmm

Utah’s school voucher program is unconstitutional, judge rules A judge ruled Friday that Utah’s $100 million “Utah Fits All” scholarship program is unconstitutional.

Welcome news.

Vouchers only tear at the fabric of public education, and are bad news for schools.

According to the judge, the voucher program violates Article X and Article XIII of the Utah Constitution.

100% This is what democracy - and a civil society - looks like!

@vanhollen.senate.gov thank you! Rule of law. Abrego Garcia. NO shipping people to the El Salvadoran gulag. BRING THEM ALL BACK to the USA. Due process of law for all.

Way to go, Shokan, NY!

Inexcusable.

This man was, is, and always will be unfit for U.S. Secretary of Defense. Inexcusable.

The 4/19 protest was strong in Jefferson City, Missouri, too! All the signs, many US flags, everyone shouting all the messages and marching around downtown back to the Capitol steps. Way to go, patriots! Keep up the pressure for democracy, the US Constitution, rule of law, checks and balances, USA!

HASSETT: If you look at the latest jobs report, it was way, way above even what I expected

TAPPER: You know the jobs data was from before the "liberation day"

A tweet by Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank ) posted 14 hours ago features a cartoon by "BLOPER." The cartoon shows three men in a meeting room. One man is pointing at a chart with a fluctuating line that sharply drops, saying, "It was at this point, gentlemen, that the President decided it was his plan all along to reverse course." The other two men are seated at a table, listening.

Art of the Deal!

Good on @piperformissouri.bsky.social Jess Piper, Missouri! U.S. Senators (R-MO), Hawley and Schmitt, will not show up to hold town halls. Nor will U.S. Rep. Alford, 4th District (R-MO). So each weekend we're letting them know what we want in front of their local offices.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

NO tax cuts for the richest! What is the impact of deficit-funded tax cuts on the rest of us, to the economy, & long-term U.S. debt? This is what all actual journalists & news organizations should be asking. Because the GOP knows. They make this play every time. No falling for it. Ask the question.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots.

The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination.

This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Raise your hand. All U.S. elected should declare all assets before running for election. Upon being elected al assets should go into a blind trust for the duration of their time in office. NO more insider trading.

What about the small businesses crushed by the tariffs, incl. enormous one still imposed on China? NO to destroying small businesses - so the richest can buy up everything for pennies on the dollar. Yes to more economic policies that benefit individuals who actually work for a living. @aflcio.org

Important: People who struggle with diagnosed and undiagnosed mental illnesses are NOT all raging racial, religious, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation bigots! Those who display bigotry and hate do so because they are filled with bigoted views and hate towards others. No more excusing hate.
