Donald Trump falsely claimed that Hepatitis B can only be transmitted through sexual activity and, as a result, children don't need to be vaccinated against it until they're 12 years old.

Speaking of sexual activity and 12-year-olds, Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.

Once the Voting Rights Act’s Champion, DOJ Now Wants SCOTUS To Gut It Once the Voting Rights Act’s Champion, DOJ Now Wants SCOTUS To Gut It

NEW: For decades, the DOJ relied on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to foil and forestall attempts to discriminate against minority voters.

On Wednesday, the DOJ filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to devastate and vitiate much of what’s left of the landmark civil rights legislation.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.

This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

Ron Desantis says he wants Florida voters to decide on reducing or even eliminating property taxes. 

So …. no income tax, no property taxes, plus annual hurricane season.

How exactly is this state planning to pay for anything?

Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.

It isn't until the 26th paragraph that there is mention that what Trump is doing is being challenged as illegal. And it accepts Trump's stated rationale to act.

Here is what I think: Trump is illegally deploying the military in blue cities to set the stage to interfere with the 2026 elections.

Make no mistake: federalizing the police and deploying the National Guard to DC isn't about a non-existent crime wave. It's an authoritarian move to crush dissent and strip Americans of their right to self-govern. This is a chilling precedent for every city in America.
