SSRIs saved my son's life. They are an important part of the
treatment for OCD, and RFK Jr is neither a doctor nor a psychiatrist. #FireJRK @meidastouch.com #OCDawareness

Say it with me: SSRIs 👏 are 👏 safe 👏 and 👏 non-addictive 👏 .

RFK Jr. is already taking aim at antidepressants

The new HHS secretary has made baseless claims that the drugs are addictive and cause violent behavior.

The reason why Trump won't endorse Winsome Earle-Sears in the VA governor's race is pretty simple - he knows she's going to lose.

If he thought she was going to win, he would endorse so he can take credit for it.

Like he always does.

It was incredible to see so many Virginians voting early during this morning’s Souls to the Polls in Dumfries!

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.
