Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up.
The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning.
No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.
BALINT: Are you trying to get revenge on states that did not vote for your boss?
VOUGHT: What's interesting about your question is Joe Biden--
BALINT: Oh, for goodness' sake!
RFK Jr: "Why would I ever reject a drug that worked? What kind of perverse motive are you ascribing to me?"
WARREN: So those massive discounts--
RFK Jr: Massive. 600 percent
WARREN: 600 percent! They can pay hundreds of dollars on TrumpRx or they can get it for $12 as Costco
TINA SMITH: Secretary Kennedy, a trillion dollars in cuts according to the CBO, 7 million people losing their health insurance because of the Trump administration. That's not debatable
RFK Jr: There is nobody legally enrolled in Medicaid who is losing coverage
SMITH: That is just not true!
BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
BENNET: You said the outbreak has nothing to do. You're the head of the HHS!
RFK Jr: I have no jurisdiction over other countries
BENNET: I agree. But everybody here believes the United States ought to be leading in these matters. That's why we're so discouraged by your cuts to NIH.
LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America
SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours
HASSAN: Does the president know about your self-promoting videos using official HHS resources?
RFK Jr: I didn't know about a number of those videos. I just happened to not see them.
HASSAN: So you don't know how your own team is managing official resources?
OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying
HASSAN: Did the president approve your decision to fire all 17 members of the CDC's vaccine committee in June 2025?
RFK Jr: Uhhhhh -- you mean did I talk to him directly? We talked to the White House DPC
Thank you to Virginia and California, Dems about to boot these MF out.
"We are not on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. We are in the middle of it." Senator Chris Murphy just went to Spain to join a global movement of 100 countries organizing against Trump’s brand of fascism. Read his urgent warning: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-in-f...
Not sure wtf we're doing but it definitely doesn't feel like winning.
❗️According to Reuters, in April Russia reduced its oil production by approximately 300–400 thousand barrels per day due to Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries and ports.
Screenshot of a tweet by No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen (@NoLieWithBTC) reporting that Trump warned Virginians that voting yes on a redistricting referendum would cost him power, quoting Trump saying "If the Democrats get additional seats, they're going to be making changes at the federal level." The post includes a split image of the Virginia state seal and a close-up photo of Trump with a stern expression.
Sounds like a great reason to vote YES, Virginia! We're counting on you today.

“Minutes after voting for $300 MILLION for private school vouchers, Senate Republicans voted to cut $43 MILLION for diapers for needy families.”😳
Welcome to @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP supermajority’s Tennessee, folks. A budget is a moral document.

Man accused of being hammered on the job tries desperately to save it.
GOP lawyer Joe diGenova, now running Trump’s “Grand Conspiracy” probe, said earlier this month that Pam Bondi had “nixed” him from the role

These resurfaced remarks expose a racist mindset that has no place in someone responsible for the health of 341 million Americans.
We can’t normalize this behavior. RFK Jr. must be held accountable.
Rep. Andy Biggs: "President Trump -- the forces of evil have attacked that man and his family ... he's taming the world"
The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
Two bases of power in Iran….
Media outlets affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued rare and sharply worded criticism of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Iran’s negotiating team after he announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on X.

DOGGETT: Were you shocked to see that 850 people who were suspended for fraud had been reinstated at all once?
RFK Jr: President Biden ...
DOGGETT: Reclaiming my time. Biden's administration suspended 850 suspected fraudsters. Yours let them go back to work
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'
IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated
W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?
Trump has gone after MAGA influencers, the Pope, as well as the leadership of Italy, Spain and the UK.
Yet he was oddly quiet about Melania’s Epstein remarks and played dumb when Bibi sabotaged the peace talks.
He knows they, like Putin, belong to a small group that could sink him forever.
