I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Yet we now have an HHS Secretary casting doubt on the germ theory — the foundation of modern medicine.
That’s not only unacceptable, it is dangerous. RFK Jr. must resign.
