beneath the bravado of evil there’s *always* a shrill, panicked undertone. the louder evil boasts about its dominance, the more weak and frightened it sounds. because evil knows it has already lost and is doomed to vanish.

all that shrieking at the podium today? the cry of the Eternally Defeated.

In a marathon hearing on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, RFK Jr. faced a barrage of questions from senators who were outraged by his recent actions.

In some cases, Kennedy appeared to promote flat-out lies.

RFK Jr. is living in a pretend anti-vax world

Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.
