While Donald Trump and RFK Jr. push conspiracy theories over science, my administration is forging a path that puts our people first. Illinois will adopt the American Academy of Pediatrics' vaccine schedule to keep families safe.

Something is getting lost in the discussion of Trump targeting Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. This is an attack on the independent media that is aggressively covering Trump. Trump knows how to influence the corporate media; he fears the independent press. messagebox.substack.com/p/the-real-r...

This week, celebrity doctor Peter Attia was found to have engaged in a friendly and salacious correspondence with convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. https://cnn.it/45Nw3er

I might take some heat for this but have y’all ever thought about the people #Oprah has helped and/or associated with over the years? I’m questioning some judgement… Dr. Phil McGraw Harvey Weinstein Dr. Oz Diddy Look it up.
