A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”
RFJ, Jr Is A Serial Killer
And the death toll will be unimaginable

This is one major example for all noise, and we cannot let this continue to go unnoticed.
I feel like this is getting lost. Marco Rubio has the power to ensure that data/evidence of potential Russian war crimes on abducted Ukrainian children gets to Europol. Instead, he is preventing this.
Why? He won't say.
Let's not let this one drop.

trump wants the Republican spending bill that gives billionaire tax cuts & hurts working families. And hands Elon Musk a blank check to slash essential services like aviation safety, cancer research, FEMA disaster relief, public schools & Social Security—all to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

What a farce at the White House. Vance did acknowledge that Putin invaded Ukraine, so there’s that.
Otherwise, it would have better for him to have just kept him mouth shut.
