Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

The govt lying about the killing of a U.S. citizen at the hands of the state, is by itself, a front page a story, worthy of drumbeat coverage, resignations, and impeachments.

Noem:

"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."

Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.

Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Alex Pretti is a hero. He was putting his body between these lawless ICE thugs and a woman to make sure she wasn't getting hurt. He was a VA ICU nurse, an American, and one of the best of us. May his memory be a blessing.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

It's mind-blowing that every single physician in the country isn't screaming at the top of their lungs to fire RFK jr.

Implicit in being a good physician is not only to "first do no harm" – but also, you cannot, you must not, stand by and allow others to come to harm by your own inaction.

There are still bullet holes all over the CDC, and RFK Jr. is demonizing credible scientists who have no history of dishonest behavior for refusing his illegal or unethical demands.

He is demonizing them, again. The harm he is doing is beyond any U.S. adversary's wildest dreams. This is madness.

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong.

If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says
FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship.

That's just a true statement about the world!

What is in the Epstein files that is so damaging, Trump would rather trash own base than simply release them to the public?

This is insanity. The goal seems to be ‘stop promoting health’.
USPSTF evaluates scientific evidence on the effectiveness of:
Screenings (e.g., mammography, colonoscopy, HIV testing)
Preventive meds (e.g., statins for CVD prevention)
Counseling interventions (e.g., tobacco cessation, diet & exercise)
Clinicians rely of its assessments for preventative guidance.
RFK Jr abruptly called off tomorrow's scheduled USPSTF meeting

Notice came from the immediate Office of the Secretary

"There is extraordinary concern," among those connected to the task force, "that it's about to be dismissed, like ACIP was," a source familiar tells us
