To be fair, Hegseth and Patel are actually qualified for this delegation/mission, unlike what they were hired for.

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?

Remember, these are the guys trying to control university curriculum to eliminate wokeness...like math

I think it is preferable to have politicians who have, at some point in their lives, lived like a normal person

"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines. Really? -- Rep. Linda Sanchez to RFK Jr

Here's the article which includes the actual interview in question. Yes, he absolutely said this and yes, it's in context.

Reader, Iran was not:

1) close to having a nuclear weapon

2) Posing an imminent threat to the US

Trump is now totally fine with Iran as long as they cut him in on the tolls they charge.

The guy has the moral fiber of a sociopathic mob boss. He is a walking atrocity.

It was called the Iran nuclear deal. You threw it out because it was negotiated by a black president.

oh, so Friday's jobs numbers are gonna be BAD bad

There was a deal on the table. And you bombed instead.

Quiet. Part. Loud.

It. Is. In. The. Fourteenth. Amendment.

It. Is. A. Right.

You really can't exaggerate how squarely contrary this rhetoric is to the basic foundational precepts of this country. These people *hate* the actually existing United States.

Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora The studio giant will no longer move forward with its OpenAI investment, as the AI company exits the video generation business.

Author Steven Vickers wrote on Threads, "To confirm, this '100% AI generated' passage is the opening of Chapter 5 from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I think authors are going to get screwed in these AI witch hunts."

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

This. TBC, the reason my family won't support anything HP-related is NOT because I have some grand moral view that it's only acceptable to support work created by good people.

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

This is the epitome of today’s GOP: “if it owns the libs I like it” 🤦🏻‍♂️

“And we’re going to make the moon pay for it”

Mark Jacob on how the press ignores the biggest Trump story "The president of the United States is clearly mentally unfit for office."

"By making everything a daily story instead of telling a broader one about this guy being out of his mind & a danger to us all, journalists show they’re still worried about coming across as partisan. They’d rather write down what he says & assume people can figure it out. But obviously many can't."

Thank you! You're so appreciated 🥰

Thank you! That's so sweet!

Authoritarians always require both of these things to be true:

That The Enemy is weak and easily crushed by the might of The Leader.

AND

That The Enemy is strong, at or already inside the gates, and that you must sacrifice your freedom to The Leader to increase His might to stop them.
