In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Well the Global Flu Pandemic only killed up to 100 million people, so if you’re a real man like Hegseth you’d just shrug it off so why bother vaccinating troops..

He is doing the job of America’s enemies for them

ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve

WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question

WARSH: I believe this body certified the election

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking

Jack Schlossberg is running for New York’s 12th Congressional District. He says if elected, he plans to investigate the Department of Health and Human Services ran by his cousin - RFK, Jr.

Not just a traitor, a traitor that’s spread propaganda for cash.

The people that gave it dollars want a piece of the NHS, the data, the insurance premiums, the drugs… fuck the poorest and take whatever wealth the middle class has accrued.

Not to be seen on the BBC TV News, doesn’t suit their agenda .

Also not to be seen in the Telegraph, Express, Mail, Sun, etc.

And nowadays not in the Guardian either.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren asks Trump Fed pick Kevin Warsh if he has investments tied to the Trump family. He won't answer directly.

Ms. Rachel: I'm kind of in shock about what I'm hearing. 💔

Tucker Carlson: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"

I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.

ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Trump 'blocked from accessing nuclear codes' by head of US military US President Donald Trump is alleged to have received push-back from a senior military person in a meeting at the White House during an attempt to access his country's nuclear codes

"One report coming out of that meeting at the White House is that Trump wanted to... use the nuclear codes and General Dan Caine stood up and said 'No'." "He invoked his privileged as the head of the military, so to speak. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Elections 2026: London There are local elections in the UK every May, and every year I do a preview.

New post:

"Elections 2026: London"

In my final preview I've split London into ten different battlegrounds to show how the capital's politics is evolving. With predictions for each borough.

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accepted more than half a million pounds from foreign companies, governments, and donors while serving as an MP, DeSmog can reveal. Since July 2024, when he was elect...

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”

It’s so obvious, it hurts.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

🚨THIS RIGHT HERE: Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois becomes the first Governor in America to call for Trump to be removed via the 25th Amendment:

“There is something genuinely wrong with Donald Trump.”

25th AMENDMENT NOW!

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

Trump turns totally toxic for Europe’s far right “Proximity with the United States in the current context did not go down well with Hungarian voters,” said a senior official from France’s National Rally party.

🚨🚨Fascinating @politico.eu report on how Donald #Trump has become so politically toxic in Europe that even his closest ideological #far-right allies increasingly view him as a liability. 🧵

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

Sanchez hopes to revive Europe's left with anti-Trump resistance President von der Leyen's conservative European Peoples Party, which has governed the EU for two decades, has spent a year flattering and appeasing a US president who has plunged Europe into turmoil.

This weekend in Barcelona, Pedro Sanchez gathered the world's left leaders for an anti-Trump rally - including the presidents of 🇧🇷🇿🇦🇲🇽🇨🇴.

But Sanchez was the only European leader there. Because he's the only real left PM Europe has.

Will the Trump effect end decades of conservative rule over the EU?

Afternoon.

Here are some of the day’s top developments: Trump has said that US forces have taken custody of an Iranian-flagged vessel that tried to get through the US blockade of Iranian ports. Iran’s military confirmed an attack claimed by the US military on a ship returning from China, vowing it will “retaliate soon”. Iranian state media is reporting that Tehran is not currently planning to attend talks with the US, citing the ongoing blockade as well as Washington’s shifting positions and “excessive demands”. It comes after Trump ordered US negotiators to travel to Pakistan on Monday, just days before a two-week ceasefire expires.

I'm starting to think this is not going well guys
