If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Yet another reason he must be rejected.

The WHO faces serious communication issues as to bird flu, thanks to tRump’s foolish withdrawal from the agency. Spokesperson Christian Lindmeier referred to it as a “challenge,” noting loss of traditional channels. He didn’t elaborate, but it’s clearly a crisis.

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy.

If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

A leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came along In a new book, pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Adam Ratner details the history of measles, a virus that’s often a bellwether for public health disasters.

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'

A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

‘Red, White and Blueland?’ Republican unveils bill to rename Greenland Georgia Representative Buddy Carter hopes to assist the U.S.’s ‘negotiator-in-chief’ with his plans to acquire the Arctic island

A GOP congressman has unveiled a preposterous bill to support tRump’s wild dream of acquiring Greenland, complete with a new name: “Red, White, and Blueland.” This is just another example of their blind loyalty to a so called man who’s lost touch with reality

What tech watchers understand is that Musk is doing what Musk does. He's broken the law time after time again. He acts with impunity. This is the underlying model of Silicon Valley. Musk is simply applying this to the federal government. He expects to get away with it. Because he always has.

IT IS A COUP This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.
