Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid:
“No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

If you have paid subscriptions on Substack, you are asking your readers to take a portion of their money to fund racist, antisemitic, and anti-trans speech.
Substack takes ten percent of people’s revenue and then gives it to people like Bari Weiss who said Nazi salutes aren’t really Nazi salutes.

X is censoring journalists.
The United States Attorney for D.C. is sending officials communications exclusively through X.
An agency that purportedly runs the government under an unconstitutional principal officer(?) who owns the site the agency communicates on exclusively.
We got a problem!

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

I posted yesterday about a family that’s dealing with a catastrophic bird flu infection in their cats. They’re dealing with enough right now, and don’t need unkind comments. But it does seem that the contaminant was a commercially prepared, batch tested raw food. *Please stop feeding raw right now.*

The Democratic Party is complicit in the destruction of the country and current government. They have not slowed a single nomination/this process down. DOGE does not exist, but they are going right along with the oligarch. Watching this destruction is crushing.

The Republican Senate has completely surrendered to Trump and Musk. Absolutely spineless. Now a Russian agent is our Director of National Intelligence. Every day our country becomes weaker.

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Please take note that this is how it’s done @reed.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov
Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
