A Real Man and Her Again

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed, warned that a recent measles outbreak shows how confidence in science and public health is being “undermined.”

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

BOMBSHELL report from Washington Post finds that DOGE cuts at the Social Security Administration are killing the agency.

They’re making SSA dysfunctional so that they can privatize Social Security.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

My maternal grandmother died in the 1918 flu pandemic.

RFK Jr can go fuck himself.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Sanders: We are not a poor country!

There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.

You can control where your dollars go and who you associate and do business with.

Paul Weiss has decided to bend the knee and be a complicit partner to this authoritarian Trump regime.

Fine.

Shame them, mock them, abandon them.

Invest in the law firms who stand up for democracy and rule of law.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

"I think you caved. I don't think you showed the fight this party needs right now, because you're playing by a rulebook where the other party has thrown that rulebook away" -- here's the full clip of Sunny Hostin confronting Schumer today on The View

More of this, please. A LOT more of this, please.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Leaked memo: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support Changes could break the system, former officials say.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.

I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Gov. JB Pritzker

Gov. Tim Walz

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

I hate to say ‘I told you so’ but… I told you so.

Seven years ago:

There is a vacancy for leadership in the Democratic Party.

It's a brand new ball game. Forget the old rules and customs. No one "deserves" anything due to age and seniority and donors.

It's up for grabs, Democrats. Time to step up. Whoever is a fighter will be rewarded.

With Democratic Leaders Like Schumer, Who Needs Republicans? Senator Schumer reflects the weakness & complicity of Democratic leaders by agreeing to vote for the Republican spending bill. It's time for new blood that is willing to stand up and fight.

My latest. Let me know if you agree.
