He doesn’t want a strong, independent public—he wants a captive one. Keep people dependent, then tighten the leash when it suits him. That’s not governing, that’s hostage-taking dressed up as policy. And it’s exactly why he should never hold office again. @ZohranKMamdani

Ron Johnson just told me one of the most SHOCKING horror stories from COVID I have ever heard. An attorney represented 212 families trying to get permission to use Ivermectin as a treatment. Of the 72 cases he won, only 3 died. He lost 140 cases. EVERY single one of those patients died on hospital protocol. Never forgive them for what they did. Keep fighting for accountability @SenRonJohnson

Think we're freaking out over nothing? Every traditional vaccine is eventually going to be replaced by mRNA. Here's where things stand just with Moderna. By keeping mRNA on the market, FDA has proven it does not care about safety. I am therefore telling my patients not to get ANY vaccines - FDA has lost all credibility.

No outrage that Dems let it become a shambles. No gratitude that Trump raised PRIVATE funds to renovate it while democrats were stealing our money from every conceivable department in the govt. But oh the outrage that a multimillion dollar donor would want their name on a building, which is a normal, every day practice.

Breaking: local EX (grasping for relevance) politician successfully identifies scam email. Residents can finally sleep peacefully tonight. 😂 @GovKathyHochul @NYGovPress @NYCCouncil @NYCMayor
Imagine getting a scam email, recognizing it as a scam, and thinking, “The people of this city need to know about this.” 😂

Governor, I was going to have an opinion, but I’ll wait until you tell me what it is.

Ugh. The laugh. The hand gestures. The complete lack of a backbone. It’s like watching someone audition for ‘Most Enthusiastic Yes Man” @GovKathyHochul @@NYCCouncil

While the Fauci story is huge & deserves attention, we must not lose sight of the greater issue: How did we allow one man, unelected no less, no command so much power, to the point where questioning him was considered a crime? As a society, we must examine how this happened so it can NEVER happen again. Any REAL scientist or physician doesn’t just allow debate & disagreement. They welcome it. When it comes to health, no one person is ever always right. I’m certainly not. But the difference is that I WANT to know when I’m wrong. We need to ALWAYS question what our leaders say, especially those with a lot if influence and power. If I am EVER in a position of healthcare leadership (not that I seek it out!), I look forward to being questioned, challenged, even humiliated if I deserve it. Throughout my education, training and career, I cannot count how many times I’ve been put in my place when I’ve been wrong and I’m better for it. Let’s make that our national culture. It’s not disrespectful - it’s American. 🇺🇸

EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Fauci quietly joined a stealth mRNA vaccine startup in 2023. Then the Biden administration awarded it more than $28 million to develop vaccines for viruses with pandemic potential. Now Eli Lilly is buying it for up to $1.55 billion.

We were… right. - Social distancing was a hoax - Masks were a joke - Lockdowns were worthless - mRNA jabs were dangerous - Case fatality rate was low - Ivermectin worked - Hydroxychloroquine also worked - Remdesivir was a killer - COVID came from the Wuhan lab - Fauci funded it Fauci lied about it all. Fauci lied to profit himself. Fauci abused YOU to bolster his ego, money, and power. Put the despicable villain in prison.

Spare Jewish New Yorkers the press-release theater, @NYCMayor. You discovered moral clarity only after a swastika was carved into someone’s car, and then you handed the entire response to the NYPD while offering no new protection, enforcement plan, funding, security measures, or consequences from City Hall. “Without exception” is a fraudulent slogan from an administration that suddenly finds its voice when the outrage is undeniable and the cameras are already rolling. Antisemitism also demands confrontation when it is disguised as activism, excused by political allies, or tolerated inside your own coalition. Jewish New Yorkers need a mayor with a spine, a plan, and consistent standards. They received another polished paragraph from a professional, juvenile TikTok content creator governing by damage control.
The swastika carved into a car on the Upper East Side is a despicable act of antisemitism. It is a hateful attack of intimidation on our Jewish neighbors and on the values that make our city what it is. I have full confidence the NYPD, which is investigating this as a hate crime, will do everything to ensure those responsible are held accountable. To every Jewish New Yorker: your city stands with you. We will confront acts of antisemitism wherever they appear with urgency and without exception.
