The Washington Post found that the RFK Jr.’s so-called MAHA report cited studies - at least 7 references - that don’t exist.

When you’re faking sources, you’re not doing science, you’re doing propaganda.

You can’t spell “MAHA” without “Make Alternative Facts Happen Again.”

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Only gullible Reform UK supporters would share content from an Indian crypto scammer living in the UAE, who has never been to Britain, thinking he is Farage’s reincarnation. #ukpolitics

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

How many de∆d trans kids is ok for the average Trump voter? 10? 100? Tell me what number is ok for you to still sleep at night.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

A government-wide hiring freeze is adding to a staffing shortage at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., complicating the agency’s efforts to oversee thousands of banks across the country.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
