Bad men gain power when we don't fight back. Vivek Ramaswamy is everything wrong with politics: arrogance, cruelty, dishonesty, and a willingness to do ANYTHING for power. Ohio deserves better. I'm proud that my wife, MK, is supporting Dr. Amy Acton today.

Let me be clear that RFK Jr. lacks the knowledge to evaluate whether or not the paper the paper was retracted for solid scientific reasons. He also does not care. What he does care about is amplifying any old crap that appears to support his anti-vax agenda and censoring work that doesn’t.

Ths is flying under the radar, but Russ Vought is advancing a new scheme to give Trump's cronies total control of nearly $179B in federal grant funds. Billions for lifesaving disaster relief and medical research would be subject to Trumpian loyalty oaths. Make no mistake: this is fascism.
