Worse than I thought! For example:
“John Lilly, a neurophysiologist and psychedelic researcher who once used LSD to investigate dolphin communication, famously abused ketamine until he believed that he was contacted by an extraterrestrial entity who removed his penis.”

Sen. Thom Tillis, it's time to stand up to President Trump's harmful agenda. You MUST protect Medicaid and Social Security for the millions of North Carolinians that you're elected to represent. Our state's health and wellbeing shouldn't be sacrificed for political gain.

Let's keep it real. There is no mandate for Trump, Musk, or MAGA. It's just another lie directed to the low information voter, so they can continue demolishing Democracy by claiming this is what the people voted for.
Uh, no we fucking didn't.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.”
