The party that spent decades extolling the value of free markets unites behind imposing tariffs on every country on earth for no particular reason
(AXIOS) - The Senate on Wednesday killed a resolution that would have effectively reversed President Trump's 10% tariffs on all imported goods, with just three Republicans joining with Democrats in support of the measure.

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

I mean, the kernel of truth at the centre of this one is that the cell lines that are used to produce the vaccines DID originate from aborted fetuses, however the current lines of those cells are THOUSANDS of generations removed from the originals.
There aren't any fucking "debris" in the vaccine.

If we're gonna trust the adult Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy to lead Marines and Sailors in harm's way, we can trust them to read books. It's indefensible to ban books from the library there—my alma mater—especially when you're hiding writings by Maya Angelou, but not Adolf Hitler.
