I voted yesterday!! U.S. People: Don't forget to vote, y'all, this midterm election is incredibly important. We need a tsunami of anti MAGA results.

Wow, racist much??

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

This is not a “vaccine trial”. It is knowingly withholding the standard of care from vulnerable children whose lives are deemed less valuable to see if the number that will die if the US fully withdraws support is acceptable.

“The children who are randomly selected not to receive the birth dose of the vaccine, those who “lost the lottery”, face in their earliest days the risk of contracting hepatitis B, which can cause irreversible lifelong damage.” No words. I am speechless. This violates all ethical boundaries.

This makes me physically ill.

“In Louisiana, nearly one in four children receiving Snap benefits lost assistance. Massachusetts and Texas each saw close to one-fifth of children enrolled in the program removed from Snap.”

The corruption never ends

A nonprofit group with ties to HHS Secretary RFK Jr. solicited payment from companies in exchange for access to top agency officials at an upcoming event. $300k gets you a speaking slot + private dinner with RFK Jr and Mehmet Oz www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump has promised multiple stimulus checks (have you received one?) He promised his tariffs would revive U.S. manufacturing (we've lost manufacturing jobs). He promised lower gas prices (they're higher now). He promised to keep us out of new wars (he started one with Iran). Noticing a pattern?

They’re also trying to distract from: 1- Trump’s sexual abuse of children as documented in the Epstein files 2- Trump’s outlandish corruption. He’s just outright stealing your money 3- The GOP attempts to rig the election 4- The absolute failure of this administration to actually govern

This is going around and it's been a long time since I did one, so why not! I've lost all my East Coast heritage 😭. This is what happens when both parents are from Utah, you're raised entirely outside of Utah (mostly Maryland), live in California for 6 years, and eventually move to Utah yourself.

This is blatantly illegal. But he will try anything at this point.

🚨BREAKING: DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Tuesday that ICE agents could enter polling places to make arrests this November, raising fresh concerns about the Trump administration contemplating actions that federal law has long prohibited. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

I drove to the top of Mount Blue Sky today on the highest paved road in the US! And hiked the last 100 ft to reach elevation 14,266 ft. Pretty amazing, just 234 ft below the tallest point in the lower 48 states. With a name like that I had to share it here 🙂

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

Jimmy Carter had to gave up his peanut farm to avoid any conflicts of interest while president. The Obamas were forbidden to refinance their home while he was in office. Donald Trump has made over 21,000 stock trades while in office, often using his office to manipulate markets.
