I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Scarborough to Spineless Speaker Johnson: “I’m not gonna mock you, Mike, I’m just gonna call you a liar. Because that’s what you are. You know EXACTLY what happened in Maine.” #AbolishICE

Who else besides me thinks they're going to do the exact same thing with Trump? The exact same thing. My crystal ball is telling me that man is going to be dead for days before they tell anybody. Trust me on this.
Great thread about Thomas Paine, the most correct man of his day, unfairly tarred at times a libertarian caricature

We are at North Korea levels of corruption. We are no longer a functional democracy.
