The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!
Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.
Oh, and the cherry on top: this adds a new production tax for metallurgical coal! You read that right: through the end of 2029, met coal producers get a 2.5% PTC. 🤯
This bill kills the industries of the future while subsidizing the industries of the 19th century. It's insanity!

It wasn't long ago that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was widely celebrated as a champion of the people. A relentless fighter who took on corporate giants like Monsanto and the pharmaceutical cartels. His work in environmental law helped expose corporations poisoning our water, air, and food supply and his advocacy against Big Pharma's unchecked power made him a rare public figure willing to challenge billion-dollar interests that profit from human suffering.
Yet today, the very people who once hailed him as a hero now viciously smear him with absurd and outright fabricated lies. The attacks aren't just dishonest; they're desperate.
If you"re on the fence about RFK Jr., here are a few key facts you should look up:
Kennedy is NOT responsible for the measles outbreak in Samoa. The vaccination rate there had already dropped to 31% in 2018 after two children died from the MMR vaccine, creating widespread fear in the Samoan community. Kennedy had no connection to the outbreak whatsoever and didn"t even visit Samoa until 2019, after the fact.
The physician letter warning against Kennedy leading HHS is fake. This so-called petition, allegedly signed by thousands of doctors, was organized by a group called "The Committee to Protect Healthcare”but in reality, anyone could sign it multiple times. Worse, the effort was funded through shell corporations controlled by Arabella Advisors, a dark money network that manages billions of dollars to influence policy for its elite donors.
Kennedy is NOT anti-vax. He is vaccinated, and his children are vaccinated. His concern has always been about adjuvants in vaccines (such as mercury in the past) and the lack of gold-standard research meaning placebo-controlled trials to evaluate long-term safety. For example, the observation period for adverse effects after the Hepatitis B vaccine in infants is only five days per injection. Is that enough? Kennedy argues it isn't.
The media doesn't want you to research these facts for yourself. They want you to accept their cartoon villain version of RFK Jr. without question.
Who's panicking? Follow the money. Big Pharma, Big Ag, and Big Food - the same corporate behemoths Kennedy has spent decades exposing - are funneling millions into the campaign coffers of the politicians and media figures attacking him.
These industries don't just bankroll senators; they own them. And they own the mainstream media, which is why every major outlet has been relentless in smearing him.
The attacks have reached unprecedented levels. They've accused him of being a rapist, a murderer, and even someone who tortures animals. And let's not forget the most absurd lie - Newsweek and Vanity Fair actually ran stories claiming that RFK Jr. eats dogs.
This isn't journalism. This is a hit job.
I've never in my life seen a single person so intensely maligned as RFK Jr. But the sheer desperation of the attacks tells you everything you need to know.
They wouldn't be trying this hard if he weren't a real threat to their power.
Don't take my word for it. Do your own research. See who benefits from these lies. Then if you are convinced that evil shouldn't win CALL or EMAIL your SENATOR and demand RFK is confirmed!
These are the same organizations that have “weight rooms” in their facilities with no certified instructors, rip 75 pitch bullpens in January, tell kids their high schools are doing too much so they can get more lessons out of them and sell “elite coaching” but panic hire dads.
Since this seems to be the most common response. let me address it.
DEI does not mean you dont hire on merit. Of course you hire based on merit
Diversity - means you expand the possible pool of candidates as widely as you can. Once you have identified the candidates, you HIRE THE PERSON YOU BELIEVE IS THE BEST.
What makes the whole " what about the players " comment ridiculous is that it's presumes that all positions are hired based on some quantitative rather than subjective version of merit. They aren't
Even choosing the best basketball player is very much a guess. Which is why the best players weren't always the first pick in the draft and some go undrafted
The reality is that most positions hired in a company don't have a quantitative metric you can use to hire someone.
How do you pick the best barista, sales assistant, marketing or salesperson, etc
More often than not it's an educated guess
So when you see a company like @ibm say they want to add x percent more PoC or women or whatever group, they already know that the majority of positions they hire for don't have metrics for picking the best .
As @elonmusk said "if merit for a job is roughly the same, then the tie reaker should be diversity (of all kinds)"
Which is exactly what well managed companies choose to do
DEI also does not mean you can't fire someone if you made a mistake.
Of course you can.
I'm a big believer in hire slow, fire fast. If it's the wrong person. Fire them.
Finally. Let me address the thought that I'm "virtue signaling".
I wrote this on @x because I knew very well that almost everyone on here would disagree with me. I don't virtue signal. I want people to challenge my positions. I want to have engaging discussions that help me learn.
