Note: he received the Covid AND Flu shot.
It is good timing as we barrel into respiratory season. 🤧
Get vaccinated!

August 23, 1775 was America’s very first “No Kings” day. If creepy liar Mike Johnson read a book besides the Bible he might not be such an incredible dumb shit.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Not the point, but earlier in the video Vance lies about WIC being shut down (it isn’t). I know we just sort of shrug, but it’s honestly breathtaking how frequently the vice president of these United States lies.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.
