The reason measles has become a problem again is because Joe Biden allowed millions of unvaccinated people across the border. These outbreaks started in migrant shelters. Nothing to do with Bobby Kennedy Jnr.

Lutnick checking all the boxes of the authoritarian co-conspirator. Such multi-tasking to help Leader is common in the annals of authoritarian crime. The head of Mussoliniโ€™s secret police also oversaw his sex crimes operation. I write about it in #Strongmen.

Trump is the first president to call for America to be attacked. And his Republican allies said nothing. They don't care about you, or the country. Vote Democratic this November. The future of America depends on it.

if you think allowing other people to marry the person of their choice curtails your "religious liberty," you're a religious fanatic who does not belong in government.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says in a new book that he believes the court's landmark decision extending marriage rights to same-sex couples was "perhaps the decisive point in our nation's turn against religious liberty." Read more: abcnews.link/M860KYr

What exactly is funny about this"joke"? I was stationed in San Diego for seven years. Itโ€™s home to the Navyโ€™s Third Fleet, tens of thousands of service members and their familiesโ€”and millions of Americans. The USS Abraham Lincoln strike group is coming home there in two days. A president joking about an American city being attacked and millions of Americans being killed is supposed to be funny? Itโ€™s a sick joke.

Wave off, Skippy. Youโ€™re starting to sound like someoneโ€™s crazy Meemaw.
Conservatives want to conserve the America we know and love. The populist left wants to defund the police, reopen the border, and upend Americaโ€™s system of government. One side loves America. The other is driven by hatred for it.

Love this.
Slotkin: But I think, frankly, for the state of Michigan, people want to see a Jewish woman and a Muslim man being able to get along, debate, push and pull on each other, and move the state forward. I think itโ€™s good for Michigan. I think itโ€™s good for the country to see that. El-Sayed: Iโ€™ll tell you that the thing that neither Senator Slotkin nor I will ever budge on is that you ought to be safe in your place of worship, whether you are Jewish or Muslim or Christian or Hindu or youโ€™re Sikh. And we all believe that this is a place that is better because of our diversity, and we want to fight to protect that.

This should be considered a 5-alarm democracy fire.
Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades. The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors. ms.now/news/trump-midterms-oโ€ฆ

How do I know Hegsethโ€™s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

Donald Trump just told Iran to commit a terrorist act and mass murder Americans in Los Angeles and San Diego Diego. Republicans, you support this? This is treason..!
This should outrage every American. This is the president of the United States telling Iran to bomb American cities. I live in Los Angeles, but thatโ€™s beside the point. Tommorow it could be your city. My fellow Americans, this is not normal. This is not funny. This behavior should ring alarm bells for us all!

The claim that pediatricians vaccinate children for profit is not only falseโ€”the economics are often the opposite. They vaccinate because theyโ€™ve devoted their careers to protecting children Turning that commitment into an accusation of profiteering is an especially vile lie.
