Absolutely unconscionable: Dr Prasad won't share details, data, evidence, or proof of causality. We just have Dr Tracy Beth Høeg's vibes - that's the assessment.

AND:

"FDA vaccine staff disagreed with the assessment that the reported deaths were caused by vaccines"

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

I can't think of a more racist rant from any American in public life, let alone a president. How are all of these journalists and other people just standing there, saying nothing??? And no response. No follow up??? WTAF.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

The Renee Richards factoid that keeps poking my brain, is that the guy who outed her as trans, who previously outed Elizabeth Carmichael as trans, was Dick Carlson - Tucker's dad.
I guess transphobia runs in the family.

I don't think they can say that which is why they don't. Some of them don't have a problem with what he is saying. The entire caucus should have been up in arms on their COLLEAGUE Ilhan Omar's behalf. They haven't been.
Every Democrat going on air should take the first question and then say something like “Before I answer that I need to express my outrage and disgust at the president’s bigoted and vulgar insults about the Somali people. There is something seriously wrong with him. He is a sick man.”

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Of the 80,000 Somalis who live in the twin cities, only 4000 are non-citizens. And the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of those 4000 non-citizens are NOT undocumented—they are here legally.

There is no immigration issue to enforce here.
