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.

Demonic Democrats. Sigh. At least he's good at alliteration.
There's a "yes" in the answer.
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"
Well...this is one hell of a problem.
Sen. Warren: "Did Trump lose the 2020 election?"
Kevin Warsh: "Um, 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 that this body certified that election."
Warsh could have shut up a lot of naysayers about his independence from Trump if he simply answered who won the 2020 election.
He chose not to.
The Fed relies on data and objective reality. Kevin Warsh’s refusal to acknowledge the 2020 election shows he’s more interested in politics than facts.
An independent Fed Chair needs a backbone, not a loyalty pledge. — Warsh is compromised. Hard pass.
So Justice Thomas goes down to Univ. of Texas and gives a speech at a center funded by Harlan Crow, the guy who has shoveled money to Thomas and his family--much of which Thomas failed to disclose. Thomas also gave a shout-out to Crow.
Thomas is corrupt. And he's unashamed about that.
The Atlantic released the following statement in response to Kash Patel's lawsuit over their article about his drunken behavior:
"We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit."
He better not be using US (agency resources including attorneys) resources to fund this litigation.

We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.

Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.
I love that Trump is bragging about the U.S. military subduing an Iranian cargo ship. Great job! The largest military in the world somehow disabled an unarmed, slow ship that was carrying stuff. Interesting flex.
Is there anyone in Trump’s orbit that hasn’t taken Russian money?
The delays in the Senate come as Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is ramping up resources in Florida and Washington DC to develop the weaponization conspiracy case. The career prosecutor who was running the weaponization probe was sent back to her post this week in Miami, and former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova is set to start Monday as the new lead prosecutor on Russia collusion matters. DiGenova, a longtime vocal Trump supporter who also did legal work for the president, is a veteran and accomplished federal prosecutor who has worked as a U.S. Attorney in the nation's capital as well as an independent and special counsel in politically sensitive cases.
Propagandist John Solomon reports that Joe DiGenova will be added to DOJ's investigative team undermining RU investigation.
Propagandist John Solomon doesn't mention that he was implicated in funneling Russian disinformation with Joe DiGenova.

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars.
I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.
Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.
Governed by "ghouls and fools" and those who profit from them. Can't wait for these profiteers and incompetents to be ousted.
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
Kash needs to go. So does every cabinet member who is a threat to our national security.
