Two years ago, “Health” Secretary RFK Jr. said that Black children prescribed depression or ADHD medication should be “re-parented.” This month, he was confronted with that statement by Representative Terri Sewell—a Black Democrat from Alabama—and denied ever saying it. Unfortunately for him, we have the recording. “In a 2024 podcast interview, you suggested that Black children on ADHD medication should be ‘re-parented.’ You said: ‘Every Black kid is now just standard put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence,’ and that those children are going to have to go somewhere to get ‘re-parented,’” Sewell said. “Have you ever ‘re-parented,’ or parented, a Black child?” RFK Jr. immediately went on the defensive. “I don’t even know what that phrase means, and I doubt that I said it,” he replied. “It’s just a yes or no answer,” Sewell responded. “I doubt that I said that phrase, no. Not gonna answer something that I didn’t say.” “You absolutely said it.” “I’d like to hear the recording.” Kennedy is completely wrong here, and he said what Sewell is accusing him of saying nearly verbatim. Here’s the recording: “My Peace Corps program is going to be wellness farms, rehabilitation facilities that I’m gonna start in rural areas all over the country, where people—any American—can go for free,” Kennedy said, painting a utopian picture for his solution to the prescription drug epidemic. “Psychiatric drugs, which every Black kid is now just standard put on—Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence—and those kids are gonna have a chance to go somewhere and get re-parented, to live in a community where there’ll be no cell phones, no screens, you’ll actually have to talk to people.” He’s a conspiracy theorist. A cult member. AND a liar. America deserves better.

🚹 BREAKING: A Brazilian Supreme Court Justice has ORDERED AN INVESTIGATION into JD VANCE’S BILLIONAIRE DONOR NETWORK! According to The Washington Post, Brazilian federal police will investigate whether the Rockbridge Network, co-founded by Vice President JD Vance, provided illegal foreign assistance to the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro. And look who’s connected to this network: billionaire Peter Thiel, Trump megadonor Rebekah Mercer, venture capitalist Blake Masters, and investor Omeed Malik have all been identified as backers or members by Reuters. Investigators are examining whether money, personnel, or other resources were used to influence Brazil’s election. Rockbridge denies involvement, claiming individuals falsely represented themselves as its agents. Meanwhile, Bolsonaro LOST the election to President Lula and has reportedly FLED to the United States, where the Trump administration plans to grant him a visa. His father, Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro, is serving more than 27 years in prison for his role in an attempted coup. Now Brazil wants answers about whether an American billionaire-backed political network led by JD Vance and his buddies had a hand in its election.

Zuckerberg already admitted it wrongly suspended the No Kings Instagram account during the peak of a massive voter-mobilization effort. Now, seven days before the midterms, Zuckerberg has suspended the account Angie Nixon’s Senate campaign uses to organize Latino voters. At what point do repeated “mistakes” that suppress organizing by Democrats become an election-integrity crisis?
🚹 BREAKING: Meta has suspended Angie Nixon's organizing account ahead of the midterms. Nixon is the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Florida.

Texas Senate race is transcending into a fight between the world’s richest man and James Talarico. Ken Paxton has been relegated to a supporting role who by his own admission has very little control over his own campaign Talarico Vs Musk is a test bed for 2028. If Musk is successful in buying the state of Texas lock stock and barrel, he will be almost unstoppable in 2028 Here in Texas we have a choice to make next Tuesday. Sell Texas to the highest bidder or vote to make Texas free and independent. Vote wisely my fellow Texans the future of Texas is in our hands #USDemocrcay #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

When politicians convince you that a tiny minority is a greater threat than poverty, homelessness, and unaffordable healthcare, you’re not witnessing leadership. You’re witnessing manipulation.

The US Defense Department has awarded a $41 million contract to Singapore-based iX Biopharma to develop Wafermine, a small ketamine wafer that dissolves under the tongue and delivers the drug through the mucous membrane without injection. The company is pursuing emergency FDA authorization under a September US military emergency declaration, which allows unapproved medications to be deployed if the Pentagon deems them necessary. Ketamine use by the US military has been increasing since 2010 as a primary battlefield analgesic, particularly for severely injured patients, while opioid use has declined. The non-opioid drug can alleviate moderate to severe acute pain while also causing dissociation and amnesia. A Politico investigation found that the drug’s domestic manufacturing partner lacks the required Nevada operating license. đŸ“· Getty Images

Driving in California - the censored version đŸ˜‚đŸ€Ł (Facebook) California Life đŸ“· BREAKING: After years of research, Caltrans has officially announced that the I-405/I-10/I-5 interchange in Los Angeles has replaced the NASA astronaut training program as America’s ultimate driving test. Officials say if you successfully survive a Los Angeles freeway interchange while simultaneously: Merging across five lanes in 8 seconds, avoiding a Tesla that just cut across three lanes without warning, decoding highway signs pointing toward six different cities, dodging 400 orange construction barrels, and praying your GPS doesn’t suddenly say “Take the next exit” when you’re already trapped in the wrong lane
 You are now legally qualified to drive anywhere on Earth. The study was reportedly led by one California driver who survived rush hour on the 405 with an In-N-Out burger in one hand, an iced coffee in the cup holder, sunglasses on his head, and absolutely no idea which lane leads to Santa Monica. Witnesses say he emerged from his car visibly older, whispering, “I needed the 10 West
 HOW AM I HEADING TOWARD SAN BERNARDINO?!” before disappearing into an In-N-Out drive-thru. Somewhere in this photo, there’s currently: - A driver missing the exit toward Santa Monica for the fourth time. - A Tesla riding somebody’s bumper like it’s connected by Bluetooth. - A semi-truck attempting a lane change that requires approval from the governor, Caltrans, and three neighboring counties. - Someone crossing four lanes because their GPS said, “Keep right in 500 feet.” - One driver braking in the middle of a perfectly clear freeway for absolutely no reason. - And one California native casually sipping an iced latte while navigating the entire situation like it’s just another Tuesday. Meanwhile, Caltrans has already placed another 600 orange construction barrels ahead because apparently the freeway wasn’t confusing enough. And don’t even THINK about missing your exit. In California, missing one exit doesn’t mean you’re five minutes late
 It means you’ve just volunteered for a 32-mile sightseeing tour of Los Angeles traffic, complete with palm trees, brake lights, and enough time to reconsider every life decision you’ve ever made. And if you think the traffic disappears when you leave Los Angeles, just wait until you hit the Bay Area, where the Bay Bridge, I-80, Highway 101, and the 880 can turn a simple drive into a full-day adventure. This isn’t traffic anymore. THIS IS CALIFORNIA FREEWAY SURVIVAL MODE. Everything’s bigger in California
 The freeways, the traffic jams, the construction zones, the gas bills, and the emotional damage caused by missing your exit. BE HONEST: Which California freeway tests your patience the MOST? I-405 in Los Angeles I-80 around the Bay Area Highway 101 I-5 through Los Angeles Or ALL OF THEM?! Drop your answer in the comments, and tell us which California city you’d NEVER want to drive through during rush hour! #California #CaliforniaTraffic #LosAngelesTraffic #Caltrans #CaliforniaDrivers #LAFreeway #405Traffic #BayAreaTraffic #Highway101 #Interstate5 #CaliforniaLife #OnlyInCalifornia #GoldenState #InNOut #FreewaySurvivalMode

GOT ‘EM đŸ”„ JD Vance is trying to defend Trump’s war by saying it was “necessary” to “open the straits.” Michael McFaul didn’t take the bait 😝 Vance: "One of the things the president has set us out to do as a high priority is to open the straits. That's now happened." McFaul: "The strait was open before your war. Your war closed it. And then you had to pledge billions and billions to these autocrats to reopen it. This unnecessary war is Trump's worst foreign policy mistake." đŸŽ€ —
