George Washington is rolling over in his grave.

Not sure wtf we're doing but it definitely doesn't feel like winning.

Trump Says He’ll ‘Remember’ Companies That Don’t Apply For Tariff Refunds The government on Monday began accepting requests for tariff refunds.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

Rep Schrier (D, Washington) is drilling RFK Jr. about the “RFK Spillover Effect”. She asks him to say for the record that parents should give their newborns the vitamin K shot.

He refuses to do so, putting millions of newborns at risk for brain bleeds and brain damage.

Follow @neguse.house.gov to save Democracy and get rid of corruption.
You won't find him at Coachella or the Met Ball with AOC or Bernie Sanders. He's too busy doing the job tax payers pay him to do - clean up Congress!

RFK Jr. just said in a hearing that vaccination rates in the U.S. went down “because the government lied to them about COVID”.

He blithely ignores that under his “leadership”, the government is lying to us NOW. Vaccination rates and trust in the government have plummeted since he was installed.

Spike Lee wearing a Pope Leo Knicks jersey is the best thing ever.

Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Unfortunately, I have to announce that Democratic members will not participating. This roundtable is not a real hearing. It's set up to appear like one. We should be clear about why that's happening. Last week, Pam Bondi skipped a legally required deposition ... "

Hegseth is once again putting national security at risk by removing the military’s requirement for influenza vaccines.

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"

And how would he even have a clue as to what the right questions are?

“I’m pro-science. I just think we need to ask the right questions”.

-RFK Jr., known conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer, and disinformation profiteer, in a congressional hearing.

Republicans in the states are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump.

The response by Dems in Virginia, California, and elsewhere to counter-balance is being triggered only by a blatant plot to steal the midterms.

This isn’t a race to the bottom.

It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

Donald Trump will be known as the first US president to have been a traitor to his nation, embracing Putin, attacking NATO and working on Moscow's behalf. He will also be known for his failed Iran war,for his massive corruption and for his role as an accomplice to Epstein and Maxwell

Not off to a great start

No… Tucker,

you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.

You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.

You can rot.

Tweet from Hegseth that says The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

Public health got started largely in the
military for a reason, Hegseth.

Remember the 1918 flu pandemic.

Remember Walter Reed’s work on malaria.

Remember George Washington ordering his troops to be inoculated against smallpox.

RFK Jr. just said that immigration is to blame for the outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S., not him.

"This is an important thing to think about."

The SAVE act died in the Senate.

As politely as I can, it is hard to overstate how stupid GOP voters are. Anything not GOP is "Marxism and communism" according to them.

WARSH: The broad contours of the economy are improving. The potential of the economy, the real results of the economy are improving.

TINA SMITH: The reality is there was almost 0 job growth in 2025. That looks to me like not a roaring economy, but a weak economy.

This is how terrified they are of everyone voting yes.

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com In a world wounded by arrogance, people hunger and thirst for justice. We must encourage those who believe in peace and dare to engage in "countercurrent" politics, which focus on the common good. What is urgently needed is the courage of new visions and an educational pact that gives young people space and trust. #ApostolicJourney #EquatorialGuinea vatican.va/content/leo-xi... 8:31 AM • 4/21/26 • 142K Views

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com The rapid technological evolution we are witnessing has accelerated speculative behavior in search of raw materials. This shift seems to overshadow fundamental imperatives such as the safeguarding of creation, the rights of local communities, the dignity of labor, and the protection of public health. I thus renew the appeal of Pope Francis, who passed away exactly one year ago: "Today we also have to say 'thou shalt not' to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills." 8:31 AM • 4/21/26 • 32K Views

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples. 8:31 AM • 4/21/26 • 58K Views

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com Without a change of direction in the assumption of political responsibility, and without respect for institutions and international agreements, humanity's destiny risks being tragically compromised. God does not want this. His holy Name must not be profaned by the desire for domination, arrogance, or discrimination. Above all, it must never be invoked to justify death-dealing choices and actions. 8:31 AM • 4/21/26 • 57K Views

Pope Leo:

“Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples.”

Pete Hegseth reminds me of that time back in the winter of ‘69 when I, a healthy 21 year old, contracted Influenza A and lost 15 lbs and 3 weeks of my life.
I survived, many don’t.
