American life expectancy in 1960 was almost ten years shorter than it is today. And the leading causes of death were chronic diseases. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. frequently tells a different story. https://n.pr/4kv5xLT
RFK Jr. says Americans were healthier when his uncle was president. Is he right?

Fighting tyranny isn’t optional. It’s our responsibility.
What’s happening right now in our country is NOT normal - let’s not forget that.

This is not just a "pause." It is an unlawful destruction now.
Foreign aid is a cornerstone of national security with diplomacy and defense. USAID's work reaches 100s of millions worldwide and America will be harmed.
Here are some of the lives at stake.

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

Occurs to me that there’s a similarity between these politics grifters & fundamentalist apologetics: Their job isn’t REALLY to make an argument that holds up to reflection or scrutiny. It’s to deliver a performance of “erudite person who agrees with me” so you have permission not to think too hard.
If that phrase alone doesn't encapsulate 90% of the media's current challenge…

Happening now, a transgender sports ban is being heard in Congress.
This ban might ban trans people from dancing, darts, and even chess in many universities.
It'll also target 9 year olds playing soccer.

The classic paper by Jones and Olken showed that leaders matter for economic outcomes in autocracies, but not so much in democracies. As we proceed with our backsliding, let's test if we've reached the point where the idiosyncratic views of the president can drag us to disaster.

Going from Lloyd Austin (4-star general, Army Dep. Chief of Staff, top commander in Iraq, head of CENTCOM) to Pete Hegseth (was in National Guard years ago, pushed out of veterans group for misconduct, championed convicted war criminals on TV) really highlights what the right means by "DEI hire."
