The year is 1969. Man lands on the moon. Back on Earth, the Concorde flies its first test for a commercial supersonic airline.

Even my MAGA Uncle Timmy in Virginia says he's taking down his Trump signs and voting YES on redistricting.
Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.
BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?
RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI
B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant
Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has abandoned official hearings re the Epstein files – in their place, Comer is holding informal roundtables – which prevents making motions, calling witnesses, and issue subpoenas.
Release the Epstein files and stop Republican Cover up!

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.
This is why when Pam Bondi made the decision to not show up, she should have immediately been put in contempt. Instead, Democrats continued to threaten contempt. When are we going to learn that these types of processes do not work with this regime! #Epstein
PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget?
RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war
MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly
RFK Jr: It's not my department
His dangerous conspiracy theories are undermining safe and effective vaccines.
The anti-vaccine actions he has taken over the last year clearly correlates with the dramatic increases in preventable diseases.
"RFK Jr. made promises in order to become Health Secretary. He’s broken many of them.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation’s official vaccine recommendations. He did both."

“For hundreds of years Germany was good enough to receive these elements, although they possessed nothing except infectious political and physical diseases”.
-Hitler, speaking of the Jewish population in a speech to the Reichstag, January 30, 1930.
RFK Jr. just said that immigration is to blame for the outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S., not him.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”
When the Oval Office becomes a stock tip line, it’s corruption in plain sight. We must continue to sound the alarm. Head to the Substack page for everything you need to know: www.adamkinzinger.com/p/this-isnt-...
Not a penny to make life more affordable for American families, but $70 BILLION for ICE to terrorize our communities.
We have to stay focused on what is in front of us.
We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.
Bingo!
Masterful questioning by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to RFK Jr. on why he's giving more money to insurance companies in the HHS budget hearing:
Q: "We know they're lying...We are giving them more money because they're saying that they need it?"
RFK Jr.: "Yeah, they're lying, but..."
Bravo, AOC!

Settee down everyone, it's not that funny
and often there just isn’t a simple, just-so story to tell
it’s not that the broad center-left/democratic party is blameless or that the political right is never reacting to changes/provocations or the like, but that victory and defeat, success and failure are shaped by actors on both sides, as well as broad forces and the contingency of human events
if the right is successful, it must be because the liberals possess some fatal shortcoming or overreached in a way that mechanically produced backlash. the idea that the political right is its own thing with its own aims, can harness discontent and take advantage of contingency is verboten i guess
flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.
He just loves serving the people of Florida.
Becerra believes in holding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers accountable for assault and violations of constitutional rights.
GOOD TO KNOW:
