We need ideas like this. We've got to put all constructive thoughts out there, long odds or not. If we don't, we guarantee they won't materialize. So thanks @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social. Maybe this'll get a few Republicans thinking harder about history than their next election.
Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Nothing could be more true. He lies with such ease and is well versed in Orwellian speak.
RFK's pledge to find "what caused the autism epidemic" in a few short months is a transparent lie, to cover a preordained conclusion.

But digging deeper, it gets much worse: it's about justifying a downright sadistic assault on children's health.

RFK's phony study into autism isn't just an assault on science — it's a war on children's health
The head of this "research" is no doctor — and has a history of torturing kids with fake autism "cures"

Trump has announced that he is suing CBS, 60 Minutes, and Paramount for billions. This comes after their latest interview with Zelenskyy who Trump is attempting to undermine in service to Russia & its invasion of Ukraine. The official excuse the regime is presenting is “election interference”.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

This is a good piece on the current flu vaccine debacle ("debacle" is apparently my word of the month - probably, year). It doesn't address the issue of scientists meeting independent of US gov. still needing the *genomic data* the gov. has withheld, but it's not paywalled, so go have a look!

This seems like a good time to re-post this little explainer from last November, for folks wondering what RFK has to do with the FDA and CDC.
FYI, HHS (and whoever runs it) oversees *13 different agencies* (10 public health; 3 human service.) These are the:

CDC (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention)

FDA (Food & Drug Administration)

NIH (National Institutes of Health)

CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) ...

If anyone believes anything from that narcissistic administration, it's ill advised. Everything they do has been orchestrated well in advance. It doesn't mean their preparation wasn't transparent to nonbelievers.
