@LucciaorLucy @WallStreetApes Nope. Believe it or not, NJ does not!

@SecKennedy I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I'm genuinely curious how your wife feels about your work lately. Because you seem like a different person than the one I voted for. I'm quite disappointed and I don't even know you.

[Shannon Joy @ShannonJoyRadio]

This ‘government shutdown’ schtick is a totally fake, WWE wrestling match. I’m so BORED by this script. 🙄🙄🙄

How about I play the spoiler?

After the histrionics the two parties will get together to vote on another grotesque spending bill which will plunge our country further in debt, create more crushing inflation and line the pockets of the criminals who run things in DC.

@O_What_A_Night @Cernovich @elonmusk How about no elected public official (public SERVANT) posting on an official government account is allowed to disable or restrict comments?

[DS @plainfedup259]

@LGMicahBeckwith if this is such a great, wonderful idea for the people of Indiana, you'd have no reason to restrict comments. Do you honestly think your constituents are stupid? Or do you just not care that literally no one will want this?

Andy Beshear signs a deal with Sirius XM. His show will now be carried by one of their Leftist talk channels.

You would think a Governor wouldn't have the time for a part-time job. Better hope the next state emergency occurs between commercial breaks.

"I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION AND THEN TELL YOU IT'S 'A SIMPLE YES OR NO QUESTION' BUT ALSO NOT LET YOU ANSWER WHILE I INTERRUPT ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND THEN I WILL KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS TO FILL MY TIME UNTIL IT RUNS OUT." - all government hearings.

[DS @plainfedup259]

@dandinohill Because it requires so much money to run for office. if you don't have it yourself you have to kiss up to those who do and then you're beholden forever.

You’re absolutely right that vaccines have saved millions of lives and represent one of the greatest achievements in modern medicine. That fact should never be dismissed or minimized. At the same time, I wonder why it’s so hard to hold both ideas in our heads at once—that vaccines have done immense good and that it’s not unreasonable to scrutinize aspects of how they’re administered today.

For example, why can’t we have a real conversation about the necessity of a Hepatitis B shot at birth for a healthy newborn? Or about whether the CDC schedule, which has grown more aggressive over the years, might deserve re-evaluation? Or about the safety of adjuvants like aluminum when injected into infants with developing immune systems?

It also seems fair to point out that most pre-licensing trials don’t use truly inert placebo controls, and very few track long-term safety outcomes. That’s not conspiracy—it’s just acknowledging a limitation in the data.

So the question I keep coming back to is: if we can recognize the undeniable success of vaccines historically, why is it treated as dangerous or taboo to raise legitimate questions about how we use them today? Why does skepticism around specific policies or practices get conflated with being “anti-vaccine,” when in reality it’s about making sure the science is as strong and transparent as possible?

@ShannonJoyRadio First time Trump really talked about cv in a national broadcast (Mar 17 2020, somewhere around there), I said out loud "this is gonna get bad, they're going to mandate a vaccine". I could sense it as a layperson but when they posed it to him as an idea he thought it was great?!

@jessmachadoshow Lost in Translation

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

Okay, let's recap:

-New CDC director loyal to Peter Thiel
-Tech execs become Army lieutenants
-Palantir controls HHS, CDC, NIH data
-RFK Jr wants everyone tracked via wearables
-Trump pushes Google/Amazon health tracking

See where this is going? It's a biometric gold rush.

[DS @plainfedup259]

@HustleBitch_ Would be great then if RFK Jr can do something about the all out war many states have on vaping. Looking at you KY legislature and the chokehold that Big Tobacco has on you.

[DS @plainfedup259]

@CrookLockwood @NCM4Ever @SecKennedy I feel like it has to end the mandates. If it's that you can get it if you are in an advanced risk group, how can they claim that any nursing student, for example, is automatically "advanced risk"?

[Axiomatic Enemy of the State @DeTocqueville14]

More people need to stop believing that it's Republicans vs. Democrats and start realizing that it's the government vs. its tax cattle.

[Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 @MarinaMedvin]

I don't know a single Trump voter in favor of this.

[DS @plainfedup259]

@PressSec This may be the most absurd thing I've ever heard.

[DS @plainfedup259]

@21NickNutMom @CandyMassaroni Who ever approved school taxes on our electric bills? It's completely absurd. Why do my county schools get extra money based on my electricity usage -- like what is the logic there besides "because we got it passed"?

A reminder that @CaseyMeansMD has not yet been confirmed as our Surgeon General (cause she is so flawed?) and so we don’t have one, the perfect-for-the-job Dr Joseph Ladapo was not even nominated for SG and is still in Florida actually protecting Floridians.

@spicyliltoaster I go to Buc-ee's (I have one along my drive to work) for the gas, which is almost always .5-.10 cents cheaper/gallon than anywhere else in a huge radius.
