Every prominent Republican saying that tariffs are horrible for America and will tank the economy.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The Senate GOPs feckless response to J6 sealed it.

I think congress is working as one might expect. That's not the same as working the way it was intended to work.

Welcome Dr. Oz 💀
Quote:TV's Dr Oz confirmed to lead Medicare and Medicaid
Oz, who has never held public office, was picked last year by President Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
The 64-year-old, whose approaches have come under scrutiny, trained as a surgeon before appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the early 2000s.
Health experts have previously criticised Oz's promotion of what they deem to be bad health advice about weight-loss drugs and "miracle cures", and for suggesting malaria drugs could be used as a cure for Covid-19 at the start of the pandemic.
He was confirmed to the government role on Thursday by the Republican-controlled US Senate by a party-line vote of 53-45.
Trump said in a statement there "there may be no physician more qualified and capable... to make America healthy again".
Oz was scrutinised for recommending homeopathy, alternative medicine and other treatments that critics have called "pseudoscience".
