MAHA is just what you thought it was, a movement for grifters, their victims, and religious extremists who want witch doctoring and faith healing to be healthcare.
About that exclusive, "closed-to-press" MAHA summit last week with RFK and JD Vance: I got in.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
