"He lives to run when things get tough."
Me: He is absolutely a kiss ass.

Crockett: The speaker, he loves to run when things get tough. That's not leadership. That's cowardice. And so that is what he's decided to do—we are supposed to be in till Friday. He has decided that our last day is going to be tomorrow…

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.
NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.
ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.
Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

Any of us who have children in our lives with severe mental illness recognize how things can change quickly. I knew a woman who was shot by her mentally ill son I am reminded, on any number of occasions, it could be me.
Sadly, this picture says a lot. Daylight between two people with their arms around one another for a picture. And that isn't exactly a smile on Nick's face.

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.
THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.
These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.
This Is Fascism.

If we are to believe, for sake of argument, that an admiral took it upon himself to execute the boat strike survivors, what is his alleged motive? Also, why did no one resist a clearly illegal order? This makes no sense.

It's now been two weeks and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

He said he would end the war in Ukraine on day one. He said he was going to put “America first.” He said he would be a peacemaker. What is true is that Trump has turned over American diplomacy to a billionaire Manhattan real estate mogul.
