No worries, MAGA. One day they'll come for you, so don't feel left out. Link in comments, but it's NY Times so a paywall, but just to show it's legit.

Exclusive | White House Puts RFK Jr.’s HHS on Tighter Leash After MAHA Setbacks Aides close to the president grew worried that perceived disorganization and an antivaccine focus could prove damaging in the midterms.

I love these journalistic fictions that normalize the administration and act like there are reasonable people there working to intelligently rein in dangerous impulses

I like the idea of these two being roommates in an understaffed, underfunded facility with no health care. Or in prison.

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

Trump is the leader of the pedophile protection party.

Trump is in the Epstein files 38,000 times.

Trump wrote to Epstein about their “wonderful secret.”

Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet (and lied.)

DOGE Bros Had More Fun Burning Down Government Than Testifying About It None of this would have been legal if they’d sent competent adults. But the fact that they sent smirking little shits makes it so much worse.

"Jennifer Schuessler has meticulously documented the destruction since the beginning... But there’s something about seeing a callow young man blank out when asked why he destroyed so much that really brings home the mindless destruction of this campaign." www.lawandchaospod.com/p/doge-bros-...

For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.
