RFK Jr…..dude, you didn’t even give it a college try today
Here’s exactly how RJK’s testimony fell apart under basic scrutiny. When he showed up in Congress, he claimed he’s not anti-vaccine – but that’s a flat-out lie, shouted down by even the crowd in the room. He’s gone on record saying “there’s no vaccine that is safe and effective,” repeating the junk science about vaccines causing autism (which has been disproven for years), and even telling people not to vaccinate their own children. This isn’t just a slip-up: he’s built his career on the anti-vax platform and his own group pushes hardcore anti-vaccine campaigns.
When pressed by senators, RJK tried to rebrand himself as “just asking questions,” while dodging direct answers about his real positions. He even misrepresented his own family history – claiming his kids are vaccinated, then being reminded that in a podcast he said he’d pay anything to undo those choices.
He cited fake “studies” and official sources that don’t exist. One notorious example: he referenced an epidemiologist’s research that literally can’t be found anywhere, and neither the scholar nor the journal have ever heard of it. That’s not a mistake, that’s invention.
On COVID, RJK tried to push a wild conspiracy that the virus was “ethnically targeted” to spare Jewish and Chinese populations, referencing a supposed NIH study. Turns out, there’s no such finding in the study and this has been blasted as anti-Semitic and scientifically false. When caught, he danced around the accusation, twisting words and pointing to sources that don’t support his claims at all.
If that’s not enough, he’s financially tangled up with anti-vax lawsuits against pharma companies. When asked to promise he wouldn’t profit from these cases if named HHS Secretary, he refused – instead purposely misconstruing the question to avoid saying he’d give up his cut.
RJK’s hearing was wall-to-wall fabrications, dodges, and outright lies, propping up MAGA health policies with conspiracy, misinformation, and self-interest. None of it’s accidental – it’s all calculated to whip up fear and distrust for MAGA’s political gain, facts be damned

Epstein Update
Here’s the situation with the Epstein files right now: The drama is boiling over because Massie and Khanna dropped a discharge petition to force the public release of every last DOJ file tied to Epstein and Maxwell. They need 218 signatures to trigger a vote. All Dems are locked in, but it’s stalled just two Republicans short. The pressure is wild—Epstein survivors marched into Congress, held a raw press conference, and made it very clear: “We matter now, not in some distant future.”
Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP brass are doing everything to block the petition. They’re running interference, pushing a toothless resolution for the Oversight Committee to keep digging, but that move is all optics with no teeth—it doesn’t guarantee any files get dropped. Johnson claims the Massie-Khanna move is “irrelevant and unnecessary,” saying victims could be endangered. But that’s getting called out by the survivors themselves, who say this tactic only helps keep the cover-up alive.
Meanwhile, Trump waved off the whole issue as a “hoax” and “irrelevant,” playing the same old distraction tactic. Survivors—some of whom are Republicans—are publicly calling this out, demanding justice and transparency. Massie, Boebert, MTG, and Nancy Mace are on board, but a couple more Republicans are holding up a landslide vote.
This fight is now a showdown between MAGA’s need for secrecy and survivors’ demand for truth. The clock’s ticking, and every hour the petition holds at 216-ish signatures, the tension ratchets up. Congress is split, the public’s watching, and if two more GOP names flip, we’ll finally see what’s in the files that people on all sides have been trying to keep buried.

Ukraine/Russia Update
The MAGA spin is loud, but the results are thin. Trump talks a big game on peace but, in reality, is just playing hot potato with Europe: today he jumped on a call with Zelensky and a crowd of European leaders, basically telling them it’s their job to pressure Putin, not his. Trump’s “peace through strength” mantra gets tossed around, but when it comes to real action, he’s mostly just waiving any new sanctions and repeating himself about “strong deals.”
The European leaders had their own summit in Paris, hammering out possible security guarantees if Ukraine ever does get a real deal. Zelensky’s clear: he’ll sit down for peace talks, but he’s got non-negotiables—no trading away sovereign territory, no bargaining away the country’s future. Meanwhile, Russian officials are digging in with their own demands; they want certain territories under their control—something Zelensky flatly refuses.
Trump tried to sell the idea of a “land swap” to end the war, which landed like a brick in Kyiv, Paris, and DC. Zelensky and most of the western coalition shot it down hard, saying Ukraine’s land isn’t up for negotiation, full stop. Abroad, Trump’s plan got draggged in the press, with European leaders and even some US allies calling it “delusional” and “dangerous”—handing Putin what he wants instead of real peace.
Even Trump’s inner circle is frustrated. They keep floating that a breakthrough is close, but the truth is: the sides aren’t even sitting at the same table. Putin’s stonewalling, Zelensky’s not budging, and Trump’s more interested in winning headlines than advancing actual talks. On his own social media, Trump keeps bragging that he could “fix this in 24 hours”—yet it’s been months and nothing has changed except more friction and global embarrassment for MAGA’s foreign policy.

MAGA’s Crazy continues…
MAGA’s wild statement parade: We’re talking classic chaos with a little extra on top. The past 24 hours have seen the usual screeds about “illegals” supposedly causing spikes in crime – zero evidence, just more recycled fearmongering. Whenever Epstein’s name comes up, MAGA mouthpieces are still circling the wagons and defending secrecy. Trump himself brushed off demands to release the files, claimed they were “irrelevant,” and spun conspiracy theories about the docs being forged by Obama, Biden, and Comey. That’s next-level deflection.
The gender identity stuff has gotten even weirder: right-wing influencers and administration voices are now ranting that schools are “brainwashing children” with pronouns, blurring the lines between legitimate policy and culture war garbage. If Karoline’s press briefings are any indication, MAGA is turning “school violence,” “gender confusion,” and “fake news” into an endless loop of distraction – never mind their own record on public safety or civil rights.
Trump himself is off the rails on Truth Social, ranting about polls (which show he’s slipping), making up new “crime stats,” and accusing migrants of everything from theft to – wait for it – “eating dogs,” a racist trope that’s been around forever. He even lobbed out accusations of Obama committing treason without a shred of evidence, purely to energize the base. The overall flavor is desperate and dishonest, with each new lie outdoing the last for shock value and absurdity.
The result? The harder MAGA pushes this noise, the more even their own audience is starting to tune it out, with some loyalists openly calling MAGA leadership weak for not delivering on Epstein. The spectacle is bigger, louder, and even less tethered to reality than last week, and the backlash is beginning to show up in their own ranks.

MTG and Boebert – what NONE of us had our Bingo Card
Here’s the current backstory on MTG and Boebert: These two are suddenly breaking with MAGA orthodoxy, publicly backing the push to release all the Epstein files—against Trump’s wishes and under direct pressure from GOP leadership. MTG stepped out as the second co-sponsor on Massie’s petition, grandstanding about “naming every damn name” of abusers if victims hand her the list. Boebert is right there with her, showing up behind Nancy Mace at a victims’ briefing and declaring solidarity with survivors.
But the MAGA base is not buying it. The hardliners smell opportunism and call this just another smokescreen—saying MTG and Boebert only sign off when it’s camera time and that if the bill was guaranteed to pass, they’d fold. At rallies, “cult loyalty” is everything; actual policy or personal growth never matters, so these moves just ring fake for the most devoted. The outrage machine is rolling, with even other Republicans digging in against them, hoping to stall out the petition and keep the Trump line strong.
Online and in conservative media, headlines have started labeling them “flopping to the right side of history,” but in MAGA circles, that’s the worst kind of betrayal—guessing the political winds instead of toeing Trump’s line. The party is as fractured as ever, with public-facing action from MTG and Boebert clashing with private text threads and pressure campaigns aimed at keeping everything locked down. For now, their support for transparency and victims’ rights is getting more national attention, but inside MAGA, it’s only made them targets for skepticism and scorn from the base.

Karoline…
Karoline was on a roll today when it comes to doing and saying dumb stuff, and she’s clearly marching in her own parade of denial….
First off, she straight-up doubled down on her epic blunder from yesterday—calling the victims’ press conference a “hoax.” Did she give any sort of apology? Not even close. When pressed about it today, she started spinning so fast it’s a wonder the briefing room didn’t get dizzy. Instead of owning her mistake, she tossed out vague “concerns about transparency” and pretty much claimed the media was the real villain for “amplifying misinformation.” She didn’t clarify why she once called those same girls “victims of terrible abuse” and ranted about “awful videos demanding justice.” The press jumped all over her for the flip-flop, and Karoline just danced around the questions with non-answers, basically gaslighting everyone in the room.
She also got roasted online for sharing a staged “behind the scenes” Instagram pic with Trump, trying to look all official while ignoring a virtual avalanche of comments demanding answers about the Epstein files and calling out her hypocrisy for hiding behind phony statements. She ignored it all, of course, then posted a cheery dinner update like it was just another day of pineapple ham and mashed potatoes.
To top it off, Karoline threw shade at critics by invoking the “power of prayer” as an answer to actual policy and safety questions, totally dodging demands for real action. More hand-waving, more evasion—classic Karoline.
Today she also got called out for ducking questions on fresh scandals and trying to flip responsibility onto victims and the media for “spreading rumors.” The press corps was relentless, and she just kept deflecting instead of providing facts, proof, or any accountability.

And to wrap all this up….here’s some “gems”
The last 24 hours in MAGA world have been peak absurdity, starting with Steve Bannon going on a rant about solar panels being a “communist plot” cooked up in Beijing to undermine American freedom. He tried to tie Elon Musk’s Tesla and solar ventures directly to Chinese social credit systems, painting renewables as some kind of Red menace controlled by shadowy Chinese overlords. It was classic Bannon: conspiracy soup mixed with anti-tech hysteria and a dash of xenophobia.
Then Lara Trump decided to kick the hurricane nonsense up a notch by posting a meme on social media, suggesting Hurricane Lee was “engineered” by liberal coastal elites using climate manipulation to punish conservatives and swing upcoming elections. She didn’t back down when called out, instead digging into FEMA for supposedly mishandling hurricane relief, mixing legitimate grievances in her home state with wild, unfounded accusations about disaster funding secretly going to immigrants and political enemies. The internet roasted her hard, and Fox picked up her talking points without any evidence to back them up.
As for Eric Trump, he hopped on a podcast and raved about “woke microchips” at Walmart allegedly tracking MAGA supporters’ shopping habits to report back to Democrats. He spun a story about chip-enabled loyalty cards monitoring who buys American flags, BBQ sauce, and ammo—trying to tie it all to some lefty surveillance state. Even diehard MAGA podcasters were left rolling their eyes.
Put simply, MAGA’s daily dose of nonsense is off the charts right now: old-school red scare, hurricane conspiracies, and a tech-phobic freakout over imaginary microchips. It’s all getting more desperate, more theatrical, and even hardliners are struggling to keep a straight face.
