For the umpteenth time: Quit trying to analyze Trump. Quit trying to figure out why he says and does the things he says and does. I’m so fucking sick of listening to some panel on CNN try to discuss his latest bizarre pronouncement like he’s some normal human being. Stop that. This isn’t complicated- He’s not a normal human being. He’s a sociopath. He lies as he breathes. He’s an idiot. He’s a Russian asset. He gets off on being cruel. He’s never been held accountable for anything he’s done his entire life. He’s a horrible person. And he’s the biggest fucking crybaby who’s ever lived. That’s it.
So a child would need 10 shots to receive the same protection from measles that they currently get in 2 shots. With absolutely no evidence (or expectation based on true science) of any benefit from the new schedule.
I am a pediatrician.
Someone please make it make sense.
So weird, the Kennedy Center was financially stable and a meaningful contributor to the arts for 55 years. It was revenue positive by $41M in 2024. Gotta wonder what happened in the last 16 months to bring it so low.
Everything he touches dies.
Garcia: So, to be clear, we have a president that is $2 billion richer just from this last year. We have a son whose wedding is being paid for by rich Russians and oligarchs that have connections to Putin. We have Jared Kushner, who got $2 billion for his investment firm from the Saudis while also doing diplomacy in the Middle East.
We have the Kushners who are trying to buy private islands and selling all sorts of merchandise that’s being promoted, oftentimes through government resources. We also have, of course, this insane amount of stock trading that the president himself is doing to enrich himself and his family.
And, of course, the sons sitting on boards of private companies that are then getting contracts from the federal government. The amount of corruption is unprecedented. And not only are they lining their pockets, they’re stealing the wealth of hardworking Americans, they’re stealing the hard-earned labor and wealth of working-class people, and then funneling that money to themselves and to the rich donors and large corporations and CEOs across this country.
As they get richer, costs go up for the American people. And we know that Republicans in the House and in the Senate are complicit by not calling out this corruption.
It's beyond an unnecessary expense for taxpayers to cover the cost for Trump to fly 24 vehicles, 19 motorcycles, and one Natalie Harp to Ireland for a 48-hour visit so he can attend a golf tournament while voters are unable to afford health care, food, gas, utilities, or rent.
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
Zohran Mamdani is at St. Patrick’s Cathedral attending the 9/11 Mass with President Joe Biden.
JD Vance was invited to the same Mass but declined. Instead, he’s giving a hate speech at the Republican midterm convention.
That tells you everything you need to know about the MAGA Republican Party.
