While the DNC and MAGA tear each other apart fighting over bones, Team Kennedy is over here planning for clean food, affordable housing, and peace!
When you get tired of the madness, join us! https://t.co/Yt3OoFtMV3

The anti-war coalition has begun. @RepThomasMassie has introduced a War Powers Resolution. The President must get the permission of Congress to enter a war. @BernieSanders, @RoKhanna and @AOC have already signed on. Our job is to get the rest of Congress to sign - on both sides!

@DillinD_ @Holden_Culotta This is Crazytown! Glad there are still a few from the early days of the campaign to watch this madness with!

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya: “The idea that we can have a culture where authority determines what's true and false in science is the very antithesis of science.”

“If there are dissenting scientific cues, people who disagree with me, they should have a say.”

“We should be encouraging a culture where scientists can talk to each other without fear of reprisals, without fear of suppression, and without fear of censorship.”

“That is gonna be a major priority of mine at NIH.”

[Oliver Stone @TheOliverStone]

Communicating openly through our screens can be really enlightening, but those people who prefer insulting or just hating another for political or whatever reasons ruin the experience. In my case, I keep hearing from the haters the word “old” thrown my way, i.e. – “You’re just old and over the hill and washed up” or “I’m unfollowing you” or “You voted for Trump, you should be ashamed” or “How much is Putin paying you?”, etc. There’s no end to hate, and it doesn’t get us anywhere. After several years, I’m beginning to think that USAID or NED (National Endowment for Democracy) or one of these George Soros fronts working for the Government pays a group of pinheads, who I assume are human beings – maybe they’re bots – to post these reminders of ugliness with the intention of soiling my memory and driving away meaningful conversation. But the same verbiage, year after year – that gets old.

For the record –

1. Yes, I guess I’m old. I’m 78 and slowing down. I do less, but I enjoy it more. I still like meeting people and seeing friends more than ever –

2. I did not vote in ’16, ’20, or ’24 for your bête noire, ‘the orange man.’ I voted for RFK Jr. on the California ballot, although he told us not to throw away our votes in a swing state. California is hardly a swing state – and hardly matters, as the election is called way before California or Hawaii (haha) even closes. Some democracy.

3. And, for that matter, here’s a bunch of old people films I’ve quite enjoyed recently.

a. “The Leisure Seeker” (2017) with Hellen Mirren and Donald Sutherland. A wonderful and wise journey across America with two great actors.

b. “A Walk in the Woods” (2015). Same formula with Redford and Nolte. Almost as good.

c. “Youth” (2015) with Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel, Jane Fonda, Rachel Weisz. A classic from Paolo Sorrentino. Caine, brilliant. Keitel, shocking. The movie, incredible -- to be watched more than twice and with a stunning aria from the Korean soprano Sumi Jo at the close.

d. “The Rewrite,” which I missed in 2014 and my son brought to my attention. A charming Hugh Grant, better than ever, reverses the fate of his last years.

I’d love to see more “old” stories, if any of you have favorites.

4. As to my being Mr. Putin’s “boy,” anyone who knows my work understands I’ve always been independent in my films since I made my reputation in 1986 with “Platoon,” and this includes the documentaries, such as “Untold History” and “Putin Interviews.” No one has ever owned me or told me what to think, and I have enough saved up to make it to my grave without having to take money from anyone, especially not the “dictators” I’m supposed to be working for. Each subject has merited my historical curiosity.

And as to Mr. Putin, who has led his country now for some 25 years, I respect him because I respect Russia. And I believe strongly in its right to defend itself, insofar as it’s obvious that our Western warmongers like the Biden gang and NATO and the neocons all over everywhere believe in war and have been pecking away at the Russian homeland for decades now, and brought us to the very edge of world war for no reason other than their unyielding paranoia that Russia wants to take over the world that we want to take over. Poisonous paradox.

As a matter of fact, I’m going to Russia with a small group, including ex-CIA expert on Russia Ray McGovern, on May 9th to honor the 80th anniversary of their enormous sacrifice in defeating the forces of fascism in WWII. The world owes them a great debt, and distorting that history is probably the worst propaganda the United States and NATO have created in their hunger to destroy.

I was a soldier once, let me remind you, who served my country honorably in one of its most useless wars and learned, from the suffering I saw, the meaning of peace. And I’ll vote for peace always and against anyone, including Messrs. Trump, Biden, Bush, and Ms. Clinton – those who think our role in the world is to dominate it and impede or hurt any other country that’s seeking prosperity for its citizenry and contributing to this world with new technology, etc. – and that includes China, Russia, and Iran, who, I keep repeating like a frustrated schoolmaster, are not our natural enemies. Reexamine your prejudices and deepen your history. I will always fight for peace and understanding until the day I die.

January 1, 1971 was the last time a cigarette commercial aired on TV.

2025 would be a great year to stop running ads for ultra-processed junk—and the pharmaceuticals making billions off the consequences.

@Lis_Smith You made sure this lifelong Dem won’t ever support the DNC again with your tactics on Kennedy. Maybe you aren’t the right person to take this on?

🔥RFK JR: "All three of my health agencies—NIH, CDC, and FDA—the acting heads of those agencies—have all recommended against the use of the bird flu vaccine."

"You're turning those birds into mutant factories, and that could actually accelerate the jump to human beings."

The most important video on X today!

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya: “Science should be an engine for knowledge and freedom, not something that stands on top of society and says you must do this or else.”

“It shouldn’t be pushing covid vaccines.”

“The proper role of scientists in a pandemic is to answer basic questions that policy makers have about what the right policy should be.”

“The role of scientists shouldn’t be to say you can’t send your kids to school for two years.”

“If science is a force for freedom and knowledge, it will have universal support.”

[Holden Culotta @Holden_Culotta]

Mike Rowe: “If we don’t reinvigorate the trades, I’m afraid the President’s best effort to bring manufacturing back is gonna run into a real roadblock.”

“We’ve got $1.7 trillion in student loans on the books.”

“We’ve got 7.6 million open positions that don’t require a four-year degree.”

“Yet we keep lending money we don’t have to kids who are never gonna be able to pay it back to train them for jobs that don’t exist anymore.”

“We’ve got to make a more persuasive case for millions of good jobs that nobody knows about and nobody understands. These are six-figure jobs … they’re everywhere.”

[Neelan @neelanism]

you know what's really annoying?

even after all this, half the country still thinks @robertkennedyjr is a conspiracist... they still think he's a crackpot, who's pulling random theories out of thin air, because of a brain worm or something...

to this day, people are going to bed every night thinking rfkjr supporters are just stupid... i'm sitting here sifting through scientific studies, double checking bobby's statements, seeing if he could possibly be wrong... and meanwhile these people haven't read a single goddamn scientific anything, except for reciting something they saw from cnn...

and we're the stupid ones.

it's ridiculous.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs gives Piers Morgan a brief, but necessary lesson on the war in Ukraine. This is a must-listen.

Team MAHA & Friends:

I want to see @SecKennedy reach 1 million followers by his one-week anniversary.

The groundbreaking news coming from his office soon will be monumental, and every American should know about it.

We have just 3 days left to reach 1 million—Let’s GO!

RFK Jr. breaks down the MAHA plan to reform USDA in 2 minutes: “We’re going to give farmers an off-ramp from the current system that destroys their health, wrecks the soil, makes Americans sick, and destroys family farms.”

1. “We’re going to REWRITE the regulations to give smaller operators a break.”

2. “We’re going to encourage sustainable regenerative farming that can build soil and replenish aquifers.”

3. “We’re going to BAN the worst agricultural chemicals that are already prohibited in other countries, and we’re going to remove conflicts of interest from the USDA dietary panels and commissions.”

Our health crisis is connected to the spiritual crisis we have in our country. To Make America Healthy Again we must restore our sense of community.

Big Ag’s playbook: Sell a product linked to cancer. Get sued 177,000 times. Set aside $16 billion for settlements. Then lobby lawmakers to make it illegal to hold them accountable.

Bayer wants immunity, but cancer patients get none. This is corporate greed at its worst.

This one goes out to you, @RobertKennedyJr.

You never once faltered in your mission. But more exemplary still, you treated those who lied about you and betrayed you with ever-ready grace. Even when the world wasn’t watching. Even when the people who attacked you in public were the ones you loved the most.

You fought for America in the face of fire and falsehoods. Time and again, you endured the vitriol and mud without ever flinging it back from whence it came. You defended our nation’s children without thought of defending yourself.

That rare combination — fierce determination and boundless forgiveness — reminds us that certainty of purpose need not mean smallness of character.

You’ve proven anew the power of grace and grit and service. Of cultivating brotherly and sisterly love, of respectful conversation. Of curiosity and equanimity. Of prayer and obedience to God. Of seeking the truth. Of speaking the truth. And of making space, still, for mischief and humble good humor.

You set out to end our chronic disease epidemic. Along the way, you inadvertently helped heal our national soul.

Congratulations, Bobby. You did it. And more than that, you did it right.

@NicoleShanahan Thank you, Nicole. This wouldn’t have happened without you.

NEW: Bill Gates tells Jimmy Fallon that we won’t need humans for “most things” with the new age of artificial intelligence.

Hardly surprising from the man who says there are too many people on the planet.

FALLON: “Will we still need humans?”

GATES: “Not for most things.”

FALLON: “Really?”

GATES: “Well, we’ll decide. You know, like baseball. We won’t want to watch computers play baseball. So there’ll be some things that we reserve for ourselves. But in terms of making things and moving things and growing food, over time, those will be basically solved problems.”
