🚨BOMBSHELL: Sen. Jacky Rosen reveals RFK Jr is cancelling hundreds of millions in pediatric research AT THE SAME TIME Trump’s budget kicks millions off healthcare:
“40% of Medicaid enrollees are kids…what the hell is going on?”

WATCH: “The president and DOJ just deleted the study from the website.”
@jwilliamj8 & @thejaampod crew note Trump’s DOJ conspicuously deleted a study that shows far-right extremist violence is actually far more prevalent. (Backed up by CATO, Grok, etc)

Trump is weaponizing the government against his political opponents.
Today it's someone else, tomorrow it could be you.

The Trump regime is now officially operating as a dictatorship. And he's getting away with it, thanks to the MAGA Supreme Court. meidasplus.com/p/justice-col…
Either Trump is lying, or he really believes this BS about Tylenol. My question is, "Which is worse, lying or deliberate ignorance?" politifact.com/factchecks/20…

NEW: For decades, the DOJ has relied on the Voting Rights Act to protect voters of color from racial gerrymanders.
Yesterday, it broke from tradition, urging the Supreme Court to decimate much of what’s left of the landmark law. Jim Saksa breaks it down:

So this is funny. TikTok just said they limited my audience for a video because it contained “violence and gore.” It’s a clip from Fox News. It does not contain violence or gore just images of people protesting. I’m appealing the decision.
