Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says Trump promised him "control" of CDC and other health agencies
Let that sink in. If Donald Trump is elected, he has promised to give control of America's entire federal public health infrastructure to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an absolute crackpot who believes that COVID-19 was engineered to target white people, pharmaceutical medicines cause mass shootings, vaccines cause autism, and the pandemic was a nefarious plot by the CIA and the Chinese to commit a coup d'etat against the Bill of Rights. He's already said that one of his top priorities would be to roll back regulations requiring that milk be pasteurized, has vowed to slash funding for infectious-disease research, and wants round up the editors of the top medicine journals for publishing “fake science." We certainly assumed it was more than 30 shekels of silver, but now we finally know the quid in Donald's pro quo which gained him the virulent anti-vaxxer's support in the presidential race. My, how far some apples can fall from their trees.

Big Oil unleashes new DISASTER in Amazon rainforest
350.org: You probably won’t have heard about it, but there’s a disaster unfolding in the Amazon rainforest. The Northern Peruvian Pipeline just leaked 6,000 liters of oil into the Amazon, poisoning the ground and contaminating the lakes that indigenous communities use for food, water, and their livelihoods. To make matters worse, Big Oil’s new plans for new oil and gas development cover an estimated 250,000 square miles of undisturbed rainforest across the basin, an area that is home to more than 12 million people. Will you add your name to stand with climate activists fighting to protect the Amazon from Big Oil?

Trump bizarrely claims Puerto Ricans kiss him every time he sees them
The MAGA cult leader is now claiming that whenever he sees somebody from Puerto Rico they "give him a hug and a kiss," which clearly means the vile, racist garbage being spewed at his Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday was really no big deal at all. Why. Is. He. So. Weird?

On site of Jan. 6 rally, Harris attacks "tyrant" Trump — over much more than authoritarianism
Standing at a podium at the same park where Donald Trump whipped up his MAGA mob that would attack the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris made her closing pitching, promising to protect democracy not just for its own sake, but so Americans can afford good lives and have the freedom to control their own bodies. Amid a heated debate among Democrats over just how much Harris should play to fears about Trump’s very real authoritarian instincts, Harris found a way, in a speech billed as her closing argument a week before Election Day, to depict Trump’s focus on personal grievances and retribution as both a threat to the country’s future and an obstacle to the actual work of serving the public. Six days, people! We can do this!
Trump’s mass deportation plan would be "economic disaster" for US
Backed by an army of Project 2025-toting, right-wing radicals, the MAGA cult leader has vowed to carry out "the largest deportation operation in American history" if he weasels his way back into the Oval Office. Somehow lost in all the xenophobic noise is the very real impact such a cruel and heartless operation would actually have on the economy. US consumers are accustomed to cheap goods and services, and the economic rationale for large-scale immigration has been largely avoided. In a country that relies on a mobile, low-cost workforce, the loss of migrant workers would trigger productivity losses and a new round of inflationary pricing pressure. “It would be an economic disaster for America and Americans,” says Zeke Hernandez, an economics professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. “It’s not just the immigrants would be harmed, but we, the people of America, would be economically harmed.” Worth noting for the umpteenth time: Of the undocumented migrants, between 8 and 9 million are in the workforce doing essential jobs that Americans disproportionately don’t want to do or work in sectors where there aren't enough workers.

Day after demanding Americans stop getting offended by everything, JD Vance melts down over misconstrued Biden comment
During a Zoom call with Latino voters yesterday, President Biden fumbled over his words describing the incredibly racist and offensive Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, discussing the "garbage" being spewed by Trump's surrogates and supporters on stage. MAGA main man no. 2 JD Vance, apparently struck by a sudden bout of selective amnesia, lost his mind over Biden's "disgusting" comment just one day after begging Americans to stop getting so offended by every other word that comes out of a politician's mouth. If politics doesn't work out, JD might have a second career as a contortionist.
