Earlier this week, a new page titled “Vaccines and Autism” appeared on the CDC website. The agency's employees are not happy about it.

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

David Axelrod is exhibit A as to why Democrats continue to look weak and lose.

Saying Al Green’s protest was dispicable in the middle of a hostile takeover of our government shows how privileged and out of touch he is.

Democrats need to be done with people like David Axelrod.
David Axelrod could not be more of out touch with the Dem base. While we are all praising Rep Al green, Axelrod called his protest "despicable." This is a big part of why CNN is dying. They have "Democrats" on who have no connection to Dem base. www.mediaite.com/tv/despcicab...

A department that has spent some $8 trillion on foreign wars since 9/11 deserves a close look by DOGE.

The bloated Department of Defense spends more money than any other government agency. So where is Elon Musk and DOGE?

They had to have piped in those cheers from t-Rump. Way too uniform and fake sounding. They couldn't allow "dear leader" to be embarrassed by boos. His whole appearance was over-the-top: the forced salute, military shot, etc. It would be funny if didn't scream fascist propaganda.

The anger is building in an already combustible nation. The rage against the machine needs to always lead back to Trump and the GOP enablers, however. Musk wouldn't be able to loot and ransack our government without Trump's permission.
“'DOGE is not legit,' read one poster on the state Capitol steps in Jefferson City, Missouri... 'Why does Elon have your Social Security info???'...”

No reaction, eh? He's seething. lol
REPORTER: Do you have a reaction to the new Time Magazine cover that has Elon Musk sitting behind your resolute desk?

TRUMP: No. Is Time Magazine still in business? I didn't even know that. Elon is doing a great job.

President Trump’s calls for the U.S. to “take over” and “develop” Gaza have handed Islamic terrorist groups a rallying cry to recruit and inspire attacks against Americans at home and abroad, security experts and former intelligence officials say.
Trump's Gaza comments hand jihadist terrorists a 'rallying cry,' experts say
“This kind of language only is going to galvanize groups that want to kill Americans,” said former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos.
