Can we just have one day without hearing anything from RFK about bodily fluids.
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."

Kavanaugh: But under your theory, there could be an agency where the President could not simply direct the agency to issue a particular rule?

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

CNN did not include this fact in their story about AT&T ending diversity initiatives, but they should have. we should have to reckon with the fact that AT&T has chosen to do today what a neo-nazi organization tried to force them to do 40 years ago. the nazis don't even have to ask anymore.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

We've had to do a lot of explaining to people that this Trump regime is even worse than it looks. But when it comes to taking insurance from 15 million Americans over the next few years, I'm not sure how much explanation is necessary.
For the first time in US history, the GOP is intentionally uninsuring millions of Americans
