The main side effect vaccines have on children is that they live to be adults.

A) We don't need to study this; 140k kids a year die of measles.

B) What would this be in aide of? That if we don't vaccinate a million kids, only 1000 die? What level of death and maiming is acceptable to you?

The only reason Milhoan is on the Advisory Committee is because Mengele is dead.
RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

So according to Nehls, it was not Donald Trump’s fault that Donald Trump’s crowd attacked the Capitol. It was the Capitol Police’s fault that they didn’t have enough people in place to prevent Donald Trump’s attack on the Capitol, because everyone knew Donald Trump was going to attack the Capitol.
Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

MLK: famously not religious.
Matt Taibbi criticizes the ICE protests in Minneapolis, and says Martin Luther King Jr. would not have approved of them.

Taibbi claims MLK would not support "guilt because of racial identity" or "bringing religion into it".

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Scientist have made a stunning announcement: the discovery of substance that is completely frictionless and has no structural integrity. It was first identified in Mike Johnson's spinal column.
‘I’m for it’: Johnson endorses impeachment for judges who rule against Trump
‘I’m for it’: Johnson endorses impeachment for judges who rule against Trump
The speaker was previously cool to the conservative push to oust judges who rule against the administration. Speaker Mike Johnson now supports the push inside his party to bring impeachment articles against judges perceived as antagonistic of President Donald Trump’s agenda — a notable shift for the Louisiana Republican who over the summer sought to squelch such effort. “I’m for it,” Johnson told reporters at his weekly news conference Wednesday, responding to the question of whether he would endorse impeaching judges who have ruled against the administration. A symbol of this ongoing effort has been James Boasberg, a U.S. district judge who ruled last year that the Trump administration’s abrupt deportation of 137 men violated their due process rights and defied court orders to keep them in U.S. custody. Trump allies and Hill conservatives have argued Boasberg is an activist who ought to be ousted from the bench. Johnson, over the summer, tried to tamp down the enthusiasm among hard-liners to remove him. But judicial impeachment cries among House and Senate Republicans have flared up again in recent weeks. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has written to Johnson urging him to take up impeachment proceedings against Boasberg, while the Judiciary committees of both chambers have held hearings on the matter broadly. Judicial activist Mike Davis also spoke with the Republican Study Committee earlier this month about the mechanics of impeaching Boasberg. Though he acknowledged that the party does not have the votes to impeach or remove Boasberg or others, Davis advised lawmakers to put the judge through the process as a punishment. Johnson also acknowledged Wednesday that “impeachment” would be “an extreme measure” and “we’ll see where it goes.” He added, however, that “some of these judges have gotten so far outside the bounds of where they’re supposed to operate [that] it would not be, in my view, a bad thing for Congress to lay down the law, so to speak, and … make an example of some of the egregious abuses.” Lead Art: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) speaks during a press conference on Capitol Hill Jan. 21, 2026.

Everyone: Judges have ruled several times that the President has broken the law. Do you support impeachment?

House Leader: Yes...

Everyone: Oh, okay...

House Leader: ....of the judges.

When you're in a cult, nothing angers you more than apostates.
Noticing a trend from my Facebook feed: Lots of Republicans/conservatives in cities subjected to Trump's occupations (L.A., Minneapolis, Charlotte, Chicago) are angry and turning radically anti-ICE.

But Republicans/conservatives everywhere else don't believe them.

saving you a click: it's histoplasmosis. This is a threat to people who are immune compromised. I don't know if this is a new strain of the fungus that's better at infecting or if there were just a lot of people with weaker immune systems there
One death is being investigated and at least 35 other people have been sickened in the Nashville area after breathing in the spores of a fungus commonly found in the soil, health officials said.
Dozens Are Sickened by a Rare Fungal Infection in Tennessee
One person who contracted it died. The fungus is commonly found in soil in the Ohio River and Mississippi River valleys, and the illness is not contagious.

Okay. So we self immolated ourselves on the international stage so we could keep the defense framework we established with Greenland 70 years ago.

ICE (and Vance) are trying very hard to spin the narrative on the 5 y/o they used as bait and then abducted to Texas. They know how bad this looks.

Ben Luhmann, who filmed this, is one of the two high schoolers from a conservative Christian family I rode along with in Chicago when they were searching for ICE agents there.

When I asked him how his faith informed his efforts to document ICE/DHS, he told me this. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

You’re arresting terrified children and using them as bait. Arresting kids getting treatment at doctors’ offices. Blinding protesters. Illegally raiding homes. Making people terrified to leave their homes.

You want to pee in peace?

Quit your fucking job.
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.

“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”
