So RFK Jr. has pulled funding for mRNA vaccines, because HE doesn't believe in them.

Meanwhile the U.S. is suddenly a 3rd world country begging for help when the next pandemic hits & Europe asks if weโ€™d like fries with our pleas for help.

But hey RFK Jr. sure showed Big Pharma, right?

Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. has called off nearly $500 million in grants and contracts aimed at advancing mRNA vaccine development. This technology, first deployed during the Covid19 pandemic, allows vaccines to be produced rapidly and adapted as viruses evolve. His brain worms are getting worse!

The Supreme Court prepares to end voting rights as we know it And they don't want you to notice.

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down.

That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.

Thatโ€™s not enforcement. Thatโ€™s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

What in fresh hell is this? ICE agents jump from the back of a Penske truck with a Fox News crew at a Home Depot near McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA. All to arrest day workers who are just trying to provide for their families. Shameful!! Are they learning these tactics from Patriot Front?

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer calls for releasing the grand jury transcripts:

"Given the magnitude and abhorrence of Epstein and Maxwell's crimes, unsealing the grand jury transcripts is not just appropriate, it is necessary to understand the full scope of the abuse and those who enabled it."

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

The issue with Texas isnโ€™t gerrymandering. Both parties gerrymander where they can. They always have. But theyโ€™ve always waited to do it at the end of each decade, with each census. The issue with Texas is they are gerrymandering MID-DECADE. Which would set a terrible precedent.
