Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hinting at aiming for a bigger and better position in the government for quite some time, but a new poll out of Georgia basically tells us that this will never happen. Out of the four possible Republican contenders for next year's Senate election, Greene came in DEAD LAST in polling, losing by double digits to her rivals. Greene might easily win her House elections, but that doesn't mean that she has any popularity outside of her district.
Staffers at the State Department have had their personal communications combed through by the right wing extremists now calling the shots at their department. According to reports, the request for documents from staffers are specifically looking for any mentions of certain individuals, including Donald Trump and Elon Musk. But other names appeared on the list like Alex Jones and Joe Rogan, suggesting that staffers who criticized these two weirdos could end up fired.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. made the absolutely insane and completely false claim this past week that the MMR vaccine contains "fetus debris," which he says is causing some communities to avoid it. This is completely false, as there are no vaccines AT ALL that contain any pieces or traces or even the DNA of fetuses. This lie came just hours after his agency shuttered a lab that studies infectious diseases. This man's conspiracy theories are going to cause the largest death toll from this administration.
In a lengthy, unhinged rant on Truth Social last week, Donald Trump began laying the groundwork to start prosecuting media outlets for reporting that he doesn't like. This was the second time last week that he made such a suggestion, which typically means that he's going to follow through with it. This is an all out assault on the press, and it is an assault that could either bankrupt countless media outlets with legal fees, or scare them into submission.
