It's all just overtly blatant.

With their grifting there are NO COINCIDENCES.

Trump's pick for Fed chair should be asked about his relationship with anti-democracy billionaire Peter Thiel before we let him anywhere near our Federal Reserve. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW.

MILITARY PURGE: Navy Secretary John Phelan has been FIRED, effective immediately.

Hung Cao will take over as Acting Secretary. Prior reports raised questions about his claims of being “blown up” in combat, with his Navy record lacking a Purple Heart or Combat Action Ribbon.

NEW MEMO from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee memo shows Kentucky Republican Rep. James Comer plans to make big changes to the hearing process, including not requiring witnesses to swear in. trib.al/rjIltID

So, the guy who thinks that witches have taken over California is now the acting Secretary of the Navy? Super.

BREAKING: A GOP-appointed Virginia judge has struck down the Democratic-backed redistricting amendment in full, ruling it unconstitutional and “void from the start.”

AG Jay Jones says he will immediately file an appeal.

NEW: Rep. Norma Torres (D-CA) introduced spending bill amendment “to block the federal government from hiring individuals pardoned for their roles in the January 6 insurrection”

Justice Dept has already hired a pardoned Jan 6 defendant

HASSAN: I agree all should have access to healthy foods, but Trump has made it harder to afford groceries. Do high prices make it easier or harder for families to eat healthy?

RFK Jr: I would say that beef has dropped by 1% last quarter

HASSAN: No. Beef prices are up 20% since Trump took office

That’s our money. Money that we paid into the treasury.

This is loser behavior.

Interior Department crafted talking points for public lands sell-off agenda - High Country News The agency’s leadership distanced itself from the controversial proposal even though staff helped research public-land sales.

The Trump admin and Sen. Mike Lee are conspiring to destroy public lands for short term profit. Teddy Roosevelt is rolling in his grave.

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

This is dangerous. The Trump-Vance Administration’s vaccine fear-mongering agenda—and attempts to downplay the overwhelming evidence that they are safe and effective—puts Americans’ health and safety at risk, especially immunocompromised Americans.

RFK Jr: This is not a problem that was created by the Trump administration or the big beautiful bill

KAINE: Not in Virginia. All three of the hospitals cited the reconciliation bill for the closures

As attacks from the Trump administration and its backers in Congress continue, health care costs are rising for patients and communities, as other providers cannot fill the gap left by Planned Parenthood health centers. IT’S EVEN HARDER TO GET BIRTH CONTROL Taking away access to birth control and basic care creates contraceptive deserts in more communities *In 2025, over 50 Planned Parenthood health centers closed across 18 states, including over 20 closures since H.R. 1 was passed. Nearly all closures occurred in contraceptive deserts. • When people cannot afford the full cost of contraception, they rely on a network of publicly funded providers that offer free or reduced-fee care through public funding, primarily Medicaid coverage and Title X-funded services for individuals living with low-incomes or uninsured. *Planned Parenthood health centers serve one-third of all female patients seeking contraceptive care at publicly funded health clinics. • Over half of the counties where a Planned Parenthood health center closed now lack any Planned Parenthood provider. In those counties, these centers provided the majority of contraceptive care for low-income women in those counties

The war on birth control access is well underway, it's just less explicit

Planned Parenthood says 50 of its clinics closed last year as a result of an anti-abortion budget provision—and nearly all of them were in contraceptive deserts (link in alt). Translation: it's now harder to get birth control

Sen. Alsobrooks: You've had some trouble with the truth. Can you admit today that you said every Black kid can get re-parented on a wellness farm?

RFK Jr: I have no memory of saying anything like that.

Sen. Alsobrooks: I actually have the recording that I can give to you.

Sen. Murray: Since Trump put his face on the National Park pass, has he visited a single one of our National Parks?

RFK Jr. Says Measles Outbreaks Not His Fault: ‘I’ve Never Been Anti-Vaccine’ The HHS secretary, known for spreading disinformation about vaccine safety, falsely claimed people aren’t getting vaccinated because “the government lied to them during COVID.”

Welcome to Day 2 of RFK Jr. testifying on Capitol Hill.

Yesterday, RFK -- who has spent decades spreading disinformation about vaccine safety -- testified to Congress that measles outbreaks aren't his fault and said he's "never been anti-vaccine." Really. Really! www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-me...
