Of course he lied to Congress. Hello?! He's RFKjr. His Samoa trip and his motives are well-documented. In this tiny island-nation, his actions are directly responsible for sickening thousands, the deaths of at least 83 people – most were children under five years old. He's trying to cull us!

Jackson is exactly right. Collins helped move it to passage, and she bears responsibility for that even if the party let her vote against it at the very end for plausible deniability. If Jackson had been in that seat, it would've been no votes down the line.

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

They arrived in silence, under cover of darkness, heavily armed as they surrounded the town and moved through Kenscoff’s rugged terrain and towering forests in the mountains above the Haitian capital. Numbering around 150, the gunmen swept through several locations as they made their way toward the center of the town, opening fire on resident who tried to flee. At least 13 people were shot and killed as the gunmen ran through downtown, according to an account by the United Nations human rights office. As more than 50 others sought refuge in L’Arche de la Nouvelle Alliance, a Protestant church that had been sheltering people already displaced by the violence, the gunmen pursued them. When they arrive, they forced residents from the church and executed 22 of them in its courtyard. A dozen others were killed behind the sanctuary. The attackers didn’t just stop there. Before withdrawing from downtown, an area encompassing City Hall and a Haiti National Police substation, they abducted at least 52 people, including a mother and her five children, as well as another mother and her infant. Children and elderly who could not run were killed inside their homes. Others were burned alive after gunmen set at least a dozen houses on fire, witnesses told the National Human Rights Defense Network. The attackers also shot horses and other livestock inside the rural enclave.

Last month, U.S. officials warned Haitian authorities to expect an increase in deportations following the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision to allow President Donald Trump to end Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status designation even while litigation challenging the termination continues in the courts.

Claims that immigrants are responsible for measles outbreaks are a lie. 94% of US measles cases are in unvaccinated people. Contact tracing shows a majority of imported measles cases are in unvaccinated US residents returning from travel. The cause of measles outbreaks is anti-vax disinformation.

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says RFK Jr. offered federal help after two unvaccinated people died from measles, the first U.S. deaths this year. Shapiro declined, saying PA could handle it, and confronted Kennedy, telling him: “There’s real life consequences to spreading misinformation.”

Fuck the Supreme Court and do whatever it fucking takes to vote in this election. Have a plan and a back up plan because the GOP plan is to keep you from voting.

Our people are tired of being afraid, of hiding in bathrooms and corridors, waiting for the worst. So today, we celebrate life, our flag, our city, and our freedom. ​These are our people, who live and work under constant threat of death, the never-ending drone buzz, and regular explosions.

The algorithm is bombarding us with Darlene Graham clips, but what folks need to do is immediately after watching one of those listen to Annie Andrews. Here’s one. Night and day: Unserious vs intelligent and thoughtful.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

The core problem is malicious people manipulating ignorant people, and such a situation requires the exact opposite of sympathy, which inherently acknowledges the validity of the malicious position. The situation requires shame: "You are all grifting liars who are killing children."

The media relentlessly promotes the narrative that progressives are too mean to anti-vaxxers and we must bring them around with compassion. This isn't true and isn't helping. The more public sympathy you show them, the more empowered they are in their beliefs. www.statnews.com/2026/08/19/s...
