Do not expect Josh Shapiro to be a leader or a fighter.
This is a letter I received TODAY, February 11, 2025 Please don’t expect Josh Shapiro to emerge as a leader for us. That’s a hopeless cause and should be dismissed outright. He is complicit. He’s not a solution, he’s part of the problem. How many Republican governors have said this about Barack Obama or Joe […]

The Donald, being completely senile at this point, will probably believe they can pull one over and replace it with the recently debuted Brownturd Journal of Great Barrington Bullshit.

Why do people just accept putting up with contaminated information?
I’m not against media literacy education, but that’s not going to solve everything because it’s just too time consuming to research everything yourself.

The odd memo out of the White House that started freezing access to Medicaid portals and threatened to shut down daycares is some pretty wild overreach…
Bizarre RFKJR confirmation hearing.
RFKJr is a terrible anti-vaxxer. But there are so many other problems as well with him taking over the entirety of the federal healthcare in the US. The threat can’t be overstated.
