As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

Trump pardoned Former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández, for trafficking 500 tons of cocaine to USA

The Honduran AG just issued an international warrant for his arrest, saying, "America's not sending its best people, they're drug dealers, they're rapists, & some, I assume, are good people."

It's largely lost today because we've allowed constitutional law to become the exclusive preserve of lawyers, but the original idea of written constitutionalism was partly one of public education, publicity, & (proto-)democracy—people should be able to read & come to know the law which binds them
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Absurd. The bailout exists to ameliorate the negative impact of the tariffs.
Trump on his farm bailout: "This money would not be possible without tariffs ... because of tariffs, this is possible."

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

“We had to kill the survivors in the water with a missile because they might flip the shards of the boat, continue to the US, and sell drugs” is not really any different than “We had to kill the entire village because the children might grow up and join the Vietcong,” except much less plausible

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

the biggest lie in american politics, probably only second to bush lying us into iraq, has been democrats constantly telling us "we just can't..." only to watch republicans do whatever the fuck they want over and over and over. makes me sick.

If Biden had said even 5% of this it would be regarded as a profound moment that stained the office, cast a shadow over his presidency, and probably constituted an existential political crisis. But Trump says it and everyone’s like “What a goof! Next, in the latest news about trade negotiations…”

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March.

The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org.

But it does worry me a little bit to see military officials angry about Bradley being thrown under the bus without a concurrent acknowledgement that he did in fact commit an obvious war crime.

Just a reminder that we could all be peacefully enjoying a tariff free holiday without worrying the nut in the White House is going to bomb some random shit.

Nope! Too many people thought voting was a joke or decided to protest.

Anyhoo…thank goodness Palestine is free & groceries are cheap🤷🏾‍♀️

I read something once that stuck with me:

Scars do not show where we're hurt. They show where we healed. You scars demonstrate not just how awful those around you were, but how resilient you are.

Hegseth’s “order to strike the defenseless men ‘would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,’ said Todd Huntley, who advised Special Operations forces during U.S. counterterrorism campaign is now director of the national security law program at Georgetown Law.”
