I don't care about the celebrity connection but this story highlights how our culture mimimizes impaired driving. This guy already had a DWI conviction before killing a kid with a 0.11 BAC...and just gets a misdemeanor charge. He should lose driving privileges for life!!

This fking asshole can take his apology & shove it. He has the balls to say even though he knew he was lying to ppl it wasn't intentional. Bullshit! He knew exactly what he was doing & he knew it was wrong but he was making so much money he didn't care. He's a douchebag of the worst kind.

PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget?

RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war

MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly

RFK Jr: It's not my department

If you've ever wondered about this GOP being a cult...

Not a penny to make life more affordable for American families, but $70 BILLION for ICE to terrorize our communities.

This is important and shocking news from NYT.

And it doesn’t mention the DRC third-country deportation program has already begun. ICE sent 15 immigrants from Latin American countries there five days ago.

Civil rights groups sue to keep DOJ from reviewing state voter lists Civil-rights groups are suing to prevent the Justice Department from collecting and reviewing state registration lists to weed out ineligible voters.

The Trump administration is misusing Americans' confidential data in order to create a national voter database to surveil and purge eligible voters.

We're going to court to stop them.

Did American voters really think it was cute to vote for someone whose thing is to call people names? It’s something we’re taught at an early age not to do.
Minor in the scheme of things, but such a telling characteristic.
