Donald Trump (winner of the FIFA Peace Prize) continues amassing warships in the Caribbean while bombing small vessels without any legal justification and threatening a full on invasion of Venezuela.

Congress has the power to block Trump’s march to war with Venezuela, but they need to hear from us.

“We are rapidly approaching a tipping point… Anti-vaccine propaganda is imbued throughout the information ecosystem. Actions to remove access to a number of vaccines are accelerating. If we’re going to do something to stop this, we better do it really soon. We had better do it now.”
Delaying the birth dose of the hep B vaccine was just the beginning. Trump is ordering RFK Jr to overhaul the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s a preview of the dishonest, Denmark-infused MAHA strategy to harm as many kids as possible.

“European officials may end up offering Ukraine a financial Band-Aid when they had hoped for a financial bazooka.” Tragic loss of nerve. The $244 billion must be used to help Ukraine survive Russia’s illegal onslaught. Belgium is being cowardly.
