RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

I had a little jump scare when Hannity abruptly appeared on my screen but other than that the interview was fantastic. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Just watched the entire Fox interview with Mamdani and holy SHIT he killed it. This level of message discipline, framing the pitch to fit the priors & biases of the target audience, outflanking them on key narratives like mom-and-pop businesses — it is absolutely unbelievable to see this brilliance.

Trump has effectively become a dictator. The Supreme Court works for him. There is no longer a legislative branch, and he is now spending our tax revenue as he sees fit, with no check. They’ve willed their traiterous unitary executive fantasies into being.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.
