A reporter must ask RFK jr, in his infinite wisdom, to recite, for the American people, a summary of the scientific method. This abject racist can't do it.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

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."

#SusanCollins likes to mention the $190 million she secured for rural hospitals in Maine (through the Rural Health Transformation Program). But this is peanuts next to the $3 BILLION in Medicaid cuts the #BigBeautifulBill will cost Maine over the next 10 years. Stop the rot. Vote #TroyJackson.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

God the rage this makes me feel. The open, brazen support for a genocidal regime when all the while our country is dying too. Here. People, here, who have given Schumer all the power he has. He doesn’t give a fuck about the murder he funds. Not there. And not here.

Another day where Maduro’s regime continues to run Venezuela with the backing and support of the United States. Are south FL Republicans still telling their constituents that Trump cares about the people of Venezuela, or have they finally decided to stop lying?

In conclusion, the Democrats can only expect more bullying- they invited it - but we the people will pay the price 🤬

I hate the fact that Democrats caved, sending the message to Trump and his cronies that bullying gets results - good example for everyone ( especially our kids) 🤬

I can only hope that Kaine has bedhead because he lost sleep fucking over millions of uninsured Americans. He caved because he wants the votes of federal workers in Virginia. He lost the last shred of respect I still held for him.

Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Replying to @atrupar.com

He's absolutely correct. This is not a both sides thing, this is a right wing domestic terrorism inspired and encouraged by the leader of the republican party and amplified by all of its members thing.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

It appears that we are actively and directly involved in a major conflict between Israel and Iran which is rapidly escalating and the only thing we have heard from the admin is an obviously false denial from the Sec of State and a Truth Social post from the president about peace talks.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says his “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report harnesses “gold-standard” science, citing more than 500 studies and other sources to back up its claims. Those citations, though, are rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions.

it would be cool if some members of the mainstream media cared as much about this administration lying about who's running the agency dismantling the federal government as they do about the former president’s age
