Kennedy's case against mRNA vaccines collapses under his own evidence

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

After CDC shooting, its employees turn their anger to RFK Jr. and Trump

Documents from the shooter’s home showed his discontent with coronavirus vaccines, authorities said. CDC workers want RFK Jr. to denounce vaccine misinformation.

Trump sent 450+ federal officers from nearly 20 agencies onto D.C. streets in a weekend ‘crime crackdown.’

Arrests? A dirt biker, a fugitive, and a suspended-license driver — while violent crime is down 26% from last year.

It was only 5 months ago that Trump said he would only go after the worst of the worst. Now they are disappearing people including U.S. citizens. Next they want to create a national database of citizens. Will states send back individual voting data?

If anyone thinks they are safe, they are wrong.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.

Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.
