"Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction." Senator Claude Malhuret stood up in the French Senate this week and systematically torched every single member of Trump's cabinet.
Nobody was spared. Not one.
"A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court," Malhuret began. Then he went through the roster.
"An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health." (That's RFK Jr)
"A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy." (That's Scott Bessent)
"An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces." (That's Pete Hegseth)
"An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice." (That's Pam Bondi, whose former firm collected $115,000 a month lobbying for Qatar)
"A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security." (That's Tulsi Gabbard)
Then he pulled back and went bigger.
"A Turkish proverb says: when a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king. It is the palace that becomes a circus."
Malhuret pointed out that since Trump created his so-called Board of Peace, he has launched more military strikes than Biden did in his entire term. He called out the Boeing jet Qatar gifted Trump worth $400 million.
He called out the stock market manipulation that only insiders benefit from. He called out the Gulf investment deals enriching Trump and his family.
"Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret said. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests."
Then came the line that cut deepest. "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction."
This is how the world sees us now. Not through Fox News. Not through Truth Social. Through the cold, clear eyes of allied nations watching a great country be hollowed out by crooks.
Every American should hear this speech. Share it everywhere.
BREAKING: Congresswoman Kim Schrier obliterates quack MAGA Health Secretary RFK Jr. during a viral public hearing by using her experience as a pediatrician to expose his staggering ignorance on vaccines.
This was an absolute masterclass in destroying Republican crackpots...
"Secretary Kennedy on May 27th you posted a 60 second video on your X account unilaterally changing vaccine recommendations without consulting the customary panel of experts," said Schrier. "As a pediatrician I find that extremely alarming so I thought we would talk a little about some vaccine-preventable diseases."
Kennedy is a well-known anti-vaxxer and regularly pushes anti-science beliefs to the American people. He was appearing before the House health subcommittee to testify on the administration's budget request which includes brutal funding cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services.
"Secretary Kennedy — and these are yes or no questions — have you ever treated measles?" Schrier asked him.
"Do I what?" asked RFK.
"Have you ever treated measles?"
"No," he admitted.
"Well, I have. Let me tell you how miserable it is. These kids have high fevers, struggling to breathe, and they are crying," said Schrier. "They suffer. Great news is that there is a vaccine to prevent it. Secretary Kennedy, again a yes or no question, have you ever treated bacterial meningitis?"
"No," he admitted again.
"Well, I have," said Schrier. "These babies are so sick. They come into the ER with high fevers. They are floppy and we have to figure out why. Do you know how we figure out if a baby has meningitis?"
"Excuse me?" said RFK Jr.
"Do you know how we figure out if a baby has spinal meningitis?" asked Schrier.
"How many babies?" he replied, seemingly mishearing the question.
"I'm going to explain how we figure out and determine if a baby has meningitis," said Schrier.
"Okay."
"We insert a needle between vertebrae until the fluid that surrounds the spinal cord drips out into a test tube. It's called a spinal tap," explained Schrier. "We used to do lots of them. Fortunately, we don't have to do very many of these any more because we have three vaccines that prevent childhood meningitis. These are miracles."
"Secretary Kennedy, yes or no, have you ever treated pertussis or whooping cough?" she asked.
"No. I've had it," said Kennedy.
"Well, I have and in infants, in fact the one I treated, weeks old, came in because the baby just stopped breathing and turned blue," said Schrier. "Let me tell you how scared those parents were. And I've treated a bunch of older kids with it. They cough so hard they vomit. They run out of air. They break ribs. And if you don't catch it before two weeks, antibiotics don't even work."
"They cough for months with broken ribs and that is why it is called a hundred day cough," she continued. "But you know what's great? There's a vaccine that prevents this. Of course, here's the thing, vaccines only work if you actually give them. And we know your record on this."
Kennedy couldn't argue because there is no argument to be made. His beliefs and those like him have caused once-dormant diseases like measles to spread like wildfire across the country. People are dying. This man is woefully unqualified for his position and if he had even an ounce of shame left he would resign immediately.
Please retweet and to thank Congresswoman Schrier for crushing RFK Jr!
my favorite Bible story is probably the one where Jesus disappears an innocent person into a slave-labor gulag and then jets off for a weekend of golf at Galilee-a-Lago
Wow. The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public.
This is how authoritarian states are run.
They passed a resolution to bring a $4.5 trillion budget to the floor.
Their budget:
➡️ Adds trillions to the debt
➡️ Cuts nearly $1 trillion in healthcare
➡️ Spends trillions on tax giveaways to Elon Musk and the uber-wealthy
Your health is at risk. My wife is a PhD microbiologist. She retired from the FDA in 2018. She and her team did vital research on food safety. They developed rapid testing methods for detecting pathogens (one of her tests was adopted by McDonalds). She was involved in identifying the pathogens found in BlueBell ice cream and Jack-in-the-Box and many other cases. There were a dozen or so other teams in her lab working to save lives and make food safer. They all got the axe today. And don't give me the BS that the FDA is corrupt. These are scientists not politicians. She couldn't even accept a box of donuts from an equipment salesman and they made me sell my stock in OXO Good Grips because the FDA regulates kitchen tools. They worked long and hard for you. This is sad.
