Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Judges and politicians who are still in office should not have book deals. They should not have side hustles. They should not have active financial commitments beyond their one fucking government job. If they want to make more money or whatever, they should quit.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Why are blue states paying taxes to a fascist federal government? Why is our money still supporting red states that pervert democracy? Let the red states take full ownership of their policies instead of relying on blue states to support them. Don’t they have bootstraps they can pull up?
