Senate Republicans plan to vote today on anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to be the secretary of health and human services. If they seat him, it will be Republican families that suffer.

    I’m in a red state and have spent my life holding my tongue when these people start spouting their bullshit.

    I’m done being nice. Unfortunately, they are taking us all down with them, but you can bet your ass I’m going to be reminding them of that the entire time.

    I’m also shoe-stringing it, I’m posting this from an extended stay hotel at $60 a day because my credit is shit. My biggest gift is my ability to read and take instructions, so watching the mouth breathing red hats getting laid off is a small, but sweet, consolidation to all this crap…
