I lost my daughter Robyn on June 24th, 2019. They were killed while doing bicycle messenger work on New York City, when a speeding & distracted box truck knocked them off of their bike and then crushed them into the road.

December 24th is roughly 6 1/2 months from that date.

The media continues to fail us, to downplay the seriousness of the situation, refusing to acknowledge how corrupt the cover-up of this whole episode is.
Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.

1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Musk's employees are in top positions throughout the agencies of the executive branch. He's not gone, DOGE is not gone.
Everyone acts like Musk has been neutralized, cut off, and cast aside, when in fact he remains a huge risk to our country. We must not let him ride off into the sunset. He has to be held liable for the damage he’s done, the data he has stolen, and the elections he will continue to interfere with.

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

Here's a scenario that someone should ask RFK Jr. about: an under-65 person with no major health conditions who is providing some in-person support for an older family member undergoing treatments that weaken the immune system. Can that person get a COVID shot?

It's me, and I can't.

Mr. Trump, taxpayers shelled out roughly $18 billion for #COVID #vaccine development through Operations Warp Speed. Why are you now allowing RFK Jr. to limit access, require prescriptions and drive up prices for those who want or need vaccines we paid for? Thank you for your attn. to this matter.
September 5, 2025 at 3:42 PM
Please do a story on public backlash to these ridiculous and costly RX requirements, which serve no purpose except to drive up costs and limit uptake!
The majority of the population are STILL eligible for the COVID shots under CDC’s criteria. ⚠️Sadly, CVS STOPS OFFERING them in MA, NV & NM and imposes “Age + Prescription Requirements” in D.C. AZ, CO, FL, GA, KY, LA, ME, NY, NC, UT, VA & WV. @6abcactionnews.bsky.social 6abc.com/post/cvs-hol...
CVS holds off on offering COVID-19 vaccines in 16 states, including Pennsylvania
Earlier this week, the FDA approved the latest round of COVID vaccines but only for seniors and those at higher risk of getting severely sick from the virus.
