Wait, a man who drove his wife to suicide by proving how popular he is with the ladies stole money from black kids for their health to fund an entourage to prove how important he is?

It's *almost* as if RFK, Jr. is a truly horrible, insecure person!
Exclusive | RFK Jr.’s Enhanced Security Was Funded With Money From Minority Health Office
The cost of the health secretary’s security grew from roughly $10 million in fiscal year 2025 to $17 million in fiscal year 2026.

Same stupid logic: "What's the point of having auto insurance if you don't get in at least one bad crash a month?"
Dr Oz: "There are 5 times more people in parts of Obamacare in Florida than live in the state. It's impossible More than a third of people on Obamacare have never used the insurance policy once. If you were gonna pay your hard-earned money to buy insurance, would you ever use it? The answer is yes"

I asked the White House, the Pentagon and other officials this morning — is this real?

A military complex in the middle of a traffic roundabout? Really?
Surely there are many secure military installations on busy public roads within sight of two busy tourist attractions.

It appears that Trump’s claim last week that he negotiated a deal between Putin and Zelenskyy to stop bombing energy infrastructure was just another lie to manipulate markets. Every hour of every day, Trump lies about everything.

In this @hartfordcourant.bsky.social op-ed, Eliza Kinsey (@pennmedicine.bsky.social), @roxannedupuis.bsky.social, and @artcap.bsky.social (NYU) argue that restoring SNAP is a moral priority and should be a topline issue in the upcoming midterms.

🔗 Read the piece: www.courant.com/2026/08/30/o...
Opinion: Americans must demand SNAP benefits be restored. Nearly 63K CT residents lost them.
Even fairly wealthy states like Connecticut are straining to cover these added costs for food benefits.

Biden checks his watch at a ceremony and Fox does nonstop segments on it for weeks. But Trump falls asleep repeatedly at the 9/11 ceremony and they won’t even show it. But national broadcast news networks won’t show it either because that would be impolite.

When Donald knew there was no real threat to his life, he preened for photographers, yelled “Fight, fight, fight!” and didn’t care if a fireman died.

When Donald knew there was a real threat to his life, he hid in a catering truck and didn’t care if his staff died in the decoy plane.
