RFK Jr. told Bill Cassidy he'd testify before the HELP Committee at least once a quarter. But he hasn't testified before Congress despite Kennedy gutting the CDC and using it to promote his lies about vaccines and autism. wapo.st/3LlDNx0
Kennedy, other Trump officials balk at requests to testify on Capitol Hill
Democrats have suggested the lack of testimony is yet another way the administration is snubbing the legislative branch.

Dark money in action:

A group calling itself “Georgians for Integrity” has spent around $5m on TV ads, mailers & texts attacking Georgia’s Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, the Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate, as corrupt.

It’s unclear who’s funding the group, & there’s no requirement it reveal its donors.

The horrific materials in the Epstein files—combined with a chaotic release and a politicized Department of Justice—are a "recipe for inspiring potent distrust and resentment," @cwarzel.bsky.social argues:

Trump and Congress have abandoned Ukraine and allowed Russia to destroy a democracy in its hungry power grab and murderous invasion.

That’s where the culture wars come in handy. Distract people with fear so that they tolerate the money grab from tax policies that favor the wealthy and deregulation of consumer protections.
America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

ICE agents spent Christmas Eve arresting a man in a Walmart parking lot—even taking his groceries for themselves.

A bystander asked ICE if she could take down the phone number of his wife to let her know her husband had been detained. The ICE agents refused.

Important reminder: Donald Trump is a DEMOCRAT who ran as a Republican.

Keep that in mind when he calls for the embarrassment of “Democrats” regarding the Epstein files. He’s THE #1 Democrat he’s talking about.
