And there are even reports that China and Russia will be exempt from paying fees…
This is the most humiliating defeat in US history.

That’s false: the scientific community has investigated every single fake assertion from Kennedy and the antivaccine activists: 1) starting in 1998 with their false assertion about MMR, 2) then Kennedy wrote that ridiculous article in Rolling Stone in 2005 also retracted, 3) then Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey paraded around in green t shirts saying we have to “green” our vaccine ecosystem and separate vaccines, all BS, 4) then it was aluminum also debunked. Meanwhile DHHS refuses to acknowledge the role of several hundred autism genes and also refuses to investigate actual known environmental toxins that interact with autism genes like valproate. This is all to benefit the corrupt wellness influencer industry, it’s all about their filthy lucre

Blanche lied to Durbin when they met. Now he is lying about the lie. That is the essence of Todd Blanche

"Here are some things that Mark Kelly has survived: a turbulent and sometimes violent childhood, 39 combat missions in Desert Storm, a missile blowing up just above his plane, and four space-shuttle voyages (two as mission commander). He has also braved the near-murder of the person he loves most and watched her get deluged with death threats for years afterward.

It is fair to observe that Pete Hegseth cannot scare him."

Bolshevik? How retro, a return to the original Fascist counter-revolutionary rhetoric and action. Read #Strongmen for this history. Conjuring Communism in all its forms is apparently the new MAGA propaganda theme.

Lindsay Graham’s legacy: he cravenly gave into what he knew was wrong, helped subjugate the rule of law, gleefully aided the trampling of the constitution, and actively abetted the deliberate effort to destroy and erode all strides toward being a more perfect union. Bye.

Hayes: If Republicans hold the senate, it seems essentially assured that both men will announce their retirement. Donald Trump will replace them with ideological zealots and Susan Collins will hem and haw about how concerned she is, and then she will vote to confirm them anyway, as she did with Brett Kavanaugh.

Donald Trump is sending the Justice Department after a woman he raped.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Every American should understand that their own government won’t have their back if they get sick. They will imprison them in a foreign country and refuse to bring them home, with no scientific justification whatsoever

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

So @angie_rasmussen @Craig_A_Spencer @celinegounder say it in a way that us old guys don’t but they’re super smart, evidenced based, sincere, they care about humanity, they’re troubled and want to help, my read anyway, they should be on nightly news in perpetuity

[Sonny Rollins @sonnyrollins]

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 https://t.co/6AGmFrB7x4

The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?

[Jeff Timmer @jefftimmer]

Even after more than a decade of this gibbering shit, I still find myself gobsmacked at how entirely, thoroughly fucken stupid he is. And incompetent. And corrupt. But mostly stupid.

@Acosta was a true gentleman who came to my aid last night after Tracey began screaming and blocking me from trying to leave the event. Acosta and several other men had to stand in his way to stop him from following me.
