After Joe Biden's poor debate performance in 2024, people & reporters were aghast at how the White House covered up his mental decline. If reporters felt deceived, you think they would be more vigilant about reporting Trump's mental decline instead of sane washing his idiocy.

These allegations are a bombshell: the FBI informant claims Collins was in a pay-to-play scheme where donors to her Super-PAC were rewarded with government contracts. Trump stopped the investigation when he came into his office second term. As Collins would say, "concerning"
NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins.
Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

In simpler terms, Trump and Vought are trying to abuse their office and undermine science in obvious ways that Congress does not want and no previous President attempted *because they think there is a good chance SCOTUS will help them.*

What ever happened to parents should be making these decisions for their kids?
Vaccines for Children is a federal program that provides shots for kids who aren’t insured.
RFK Jr.’s HHS has refused to ship new COVID19 vaccines for VFC because they ask if they’re “appropriate for the populations those programs serve”.
These shots protect kids from hospitalization and death.

COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness and Safety for the 2026-2027 Respiratory Season - PubMed
COVID-19 vaccines were consistently associated with a reduction in the risk of hospitalization and other outcomes, including among individuals at high risk of severe COVID-19, such as infants, and those who were pregnant. No new safety concerns were identified.

I can’t stress enough how important it is in NC to elect Democrats to the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. Anita Earls, Toby Hampson, Christine Walczyk, and John Arrowood - these are the people who will defend free and fair elections that are representative of the people, not the politicians.
Sarah Stevens co-sponsored the infamous 2013 North Carolina law that courts said was designed with “surgical precision” to exclude Black voters.
She backed GOP gerrymanders. Chaired the House elections committee when NCGOP advanced its latest voting restrictions.
Now? Running for Supreme Court.

North Carolina Justice Anita Earls, a former voting rights lawyer, and Sarah Stevens, a longtime legislator, have been on opposite sides of election issues for over a decade.

For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes.
ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
