His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

RFK Jr. Turns to a Discredited Vaccine Researcher for Autism Study (Gift Article) David Geier has been hired as a senior data analyst at H.H.S. According to several people, he will examine any potential links between vaccines and autism that were debunked long ago.

Amid 20,000 HHS jobs lost, here's one new hire: A fixture of the anti-vaccine movement, brought in to study the link b/t vaccines and autism.

Mr. Kennedy has been citing him since '05.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

After the most disastrous first month of any President in history, Trump will do everything he can to distract you tonight. He will try to convince you that culture war issues are important. None of these things lower gas prices, improve job numbers, or put food on the table. Don't take the bait.

Democrats: Empty libraries, gymnasiums, lecture halls, anywhere. Book the space and dare these pathetic House Republicans to show their faces.

Share this if you agree.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

At some point very soon, republicans in Congress will have to choose between pleasing Trump to avoid being primaried, and helping their constituents to avoid being primaried.

You cannot make this up.

DOGE's crusade isn't about government efficiency. It's about making Elon Musk richer at your expense.

Waze seems to be caving also, but I was able to report in the app. Hoping they’d change it back but doubtful.
