Rep Dean rips into McMahon during the budget hearing.

McMahon WILL leave an infamous legacy.

Her answers simply solidify her selfish intent of using her position to better her family. Her ignorance is truly baffling.

Our children will suffer the price.

When you take healthcare from millions of Americans, people will die.

A pencil #drawing of an orange that looks so realistic, you might think it’s about to roll off the page!

We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.

Another Eugenics Wednesday!

She told Trump the Smithsonian needs changing. He’s ordered her to do it. Who is Lindsey Halligan, the attorney assigned to help remove “improper ideology” from Washington’s most important cultural institution?

Don't put in the newspaper that she is a history buff.

The review of the Smithsonian museums for "improper ideology" is being led by a 35-year old lawyer who has no experience or credentials in history or museum studies.

But one supporter says she is an avid "fan of history."🗃️

Kristi Noem’s Bag, With Security Badge and $3,000, Is Stolen The homeland security secretary was dining at a Washington, D.C., restaurant. She also lost her passport and keys.

Lab Leak: The True Origins of Covid-19 THE ORIGIN “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak

🧪Holy shit. The Covid.gov website directs to the WH website claiming that covid came from a lab leak. And they are blaming Anthony Fauci. And calling the NIH a failure. I am utterly speechless. Anti-science propaganda running its wheels in real time.

Also hot take

Get rid of IRS status for Mega churches too

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

You mean like eating A1 Sauce?

Where is our humanity?
