Given the erratic decisions of the Food and Drug Administration, do you think the people who lead it might view it more as a buffet and less of a regulatory agency?

Still better for the world if Felonious 47 gets imprisoned for life sooner rather than later. Racist misogynist philanderer Vance doesn’t have a cult of idiots following him.
This just may be the moment we have all been hoping for … but remember … if this ends his presidency … the Peter Thiel owned backwoods hillbilly will be sworn in. #CrimesAgainstHumanity

I’ve been shouting that KPM (Kennedy Prasad and Makary) are the greatest threat to health and life to Americans and visitors to the US that we have currently. Even more so than Felonious 47. Every day they prove me right…
RFK Jr., Bhattacharya, Prasad, Makary et al. are constantly claiming that everything they do is to “restore trust” in public health.
At what point do you think they should have to show some progress?
The fact is that trust in public health has plummeted since these fools took office.

Rather than turn former Honduran President Hernández over to immigration officials when he was released from prison just four years into a 45-year sentence for allowing traffickers to export more than 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S, the Trump administration paid to transport him to a posh NYC hotel.

I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary.
Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.
