If you want an idea of how crazy RFK Jr. really is, give this a read. If he’s in charge of HHS, the nation will be in peril.

Kerry Kennedy, sister of RFK Jr. and daughter of Robert Kennedy, on her brother:
"I am disgusted by my brother’s obscene embrace of Donald Trump. And I completely disavow and dissociate myself from Robert Kennedy Jr. and his flagrant efforts to desecrate my father's memory."

I cannot overstate how dangerous and stupid this is.

Matt Gaetz practiced law for two years at a private law firm. That is the extent of his legal career. He has been under legal investigation almost 10xs longer than he’s practiced law. This is not only a disgrace to all Americans, but the legal profession.

Oh look at that. One of the largest private equity owned ophthalmology practices just sold everything to a pharmaceutical company. How fun.

This is an absolutely must-watch. All of it. Five minutes. Imperative.
These extremely online young Christian men want to end the 19th Amendment, restore public flogging, and make America white again.
And they're connected to JD Vance. Meet the "TheoBros." xitter.cf/MotherJones/status/184…

Matt Gaetz used to walk around the cloakroom showing people porno of him and his latest girlfriend,” one former Republican lawmaker told me. “He’d show me a video, and I’d say, ‘That’s great, Matt.’ Like, what kind of a reaction do you want?” (The video, according to the former lawmaker, showed the hula-hooping woman.) theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

On this day in 1960, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges integrated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, escorted by federal marshals. A white mob protested her arrival, screaming slurs. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

This account has been given a grey checkmark, verifying it as an official government account.
It also only accepts resumes be DM's, which are solely open to verified X users who pay Elon Musk.
This level of corruption is staggering.

Donald Trump just picked someone to oversee our intelligence who, herself, couldn’t pass a security clearance check. She couldn’t get security clearance. She couldn’t get a job in our intelligence community. Because she’s too compromised by Russia. Yet Trump picked her to run the whole thing.
Donald Trump is a traitor.

This is misleading. It was created in 1867. It became a bureau & operated within the Departments of the Interior, Health Education & Welfare, Health & Human Services, and the Federal Security Agency before being made an independent cabinet-level department in 1979.

He has mentioned that the military thought he was “too extreme” before and that’s why he left. It was apparently his tattoos. This is bonkers. He also screwed up two marriages by getting women pregnant outside of his marriage. He didn’t do this once. He did it twice.

Trump's choice for Director of National Intelligence was hailed on Russian state TV as Russia's 'girlfriend' and an 'agent.' Imagine what the professionals in the intelligence community are thinking now. Imagine what the Russians secretly working for the U.S. are thinking now.

It's completely out in the open now. Putin gets the keys to the car on Jan 20

GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Matt Gaetz: “We had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor … of the girls that he had slept with. He’d brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night”

In June,@CBSNews reported four women have informed the ethics committee they were paid to go to sex and drug-fueled parties with Gaetz.
We also learned the committee has Gaetz's Venmo transactions allegedly showing payments for the women.

🚨 🚨BREAKING NEWS FROM @PunchbowlNews :
Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) resignation from Congress came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a “highly damaging” report outlining its investigation into the Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the probe.
The committee planned to vote Friday on releasing the report. Ethics loses its jurisdiction over Gaetz when he leaves Congress.
The secretive panel has been investigating Gaetz on and off since 2021.
President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Gaetz to be attorney general Wednesday.
