An elected official in my town runs the local social media group where most people get their news. When she saw stories she didn’t like, or that didn’t show her in the best light, she would remove the posts and block residents. She even blocked me while I was running against her for office - breaking her oath of office. So I asked myself: what’s something she can’t censor? A real, printed local newspaper. I reached out to two incredible women and shared my idea to bring real, fact-based news and resources back to our community. We don’t always agree and that’s exactly what makes the paper strong. Not only do we provide local news, we highlight local heroes, share important reminders, provide resources for those in need, and publish a community calendar. The response from residents and local businesses has been so overwhelming that we’re now able to deliver the paper to every household in town, completely free to residents.

VP JD Vance just broke the tie and voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill. It reminds me of when Kamala Harris broke the tie for the American Rescue Plan. Right wing, left wing, same bird.

RFK Jr: “Fluoride is crazy because we know it reduces IQ - there’s no question.” “If you have kids, would you rather them have cavities or lower IQ?” Theo: “I’d rather them have cavities. I’d rather them have holes in their teeth than holes in their ideas or whatever.”

Breastmilk could never compare to formula. Saying "fed is best" is not rooted in science. Science shows breastmilk is best for your baby. I already know what people will say in the comments: “Not everyone can produce, and you’re mom-shaming.” The reality is, very few women simply can’t produce breastmilk. The vast majority who use formula do so by choice. Regardless, it doesn’t change the science. Studies show breastmilk drastically reduces the risk of diabetes, asthma, ear infections, respiratory infections, and even SIDS. As a new breastfeeding mom, I can tell you it’s not always easy. But knowing the benefits, it’s worth every challenge. If you’re having trouble with breastfeeding, resources are available. Lactation consultants are often covered under insurance. In the future, these resources should be provided as routine care BEFORE the baby comes. It’s one of many things I’m advocating for HHS to change.

Some people definitely did not expect me to dig up this old clip. This is Kennedy in 2008 testifying to Congress on the harmful effects of mercury. Ed Markey was the chair who invited him, and he now says, “Robert Kennedy Jr. is an unqualified, unserious, and dangerous nominee for US Secretary of Health and Human Services.” Funny how no one called him crazy then.

This is an interesting two minutes. -President Trump was asked if we were going to change our meat standards since the UK will not accept our food since it’s full of chemicals. -Trump says Bobby is working on this. -Then Secretary Rollins (USDA) immediately backtracks, “to be very clear, American beef is the safest, the best quality, and the crowned jewel of American agriculture for the world.” That is simply not true. That’s why they won’t take our beef today.

Dave Smith demolished the Israel debate before it really got started. “Every. Single. Time. I come up here to debate issues, and they come up here to debate me and my character. It’s all they have every single time. Because they can’t actually take on any of the arguments so the most pathetic lowest hanging fruit of ‘You guys like Trump, this guy said bad things about Trump.’ Listen guys, I’m a free American. I supported Donald Trump in this last election. Yes, he did just actively cover up a giant child *apist ring and I’m going to criticize him for that.”

RFK Jr puts the measles hysteria to bed. “This has become a talking point for Democrats that somehow I caused the measles epidemic. The measles epidemic started in January 2025 - before I came into office.” “Most of the people affected are over the age of 5 years old, meaning their decision to not vaccinate predated my appointment to this office. We had about 2,200 measles cases last year and we had 1,700 this year. This is not unique to the United States. This is a global outbreak. Mexico had 3x the number of measles cases than we did. We did better than any other country in the world at controlling the epidemic. Mexico has 3x the number and it has 1/3 of the population. Canada has twice the number and it has 1/8 of our population. Europe had 33,000 cases in the last year and a 127,000 the year before and they have one half of our population. So the problem is not me.”

First Hawley (who doesn’t own stock) explains why this bill is so important. “86% of Americans say members of Congress should not be able to buy and sell shares of stock.” “We’ve seen the former speaker of the house make millions of dollars of profits.” “We’ve seen members of both parties, I’m sad to say, be investigated for their stock trades.” “And the reason for all of this is, that quite frankly, members of this body are privy to information that the normal person just is not.”

Pam Bondi has a HUGE mic drop moment! “Despite the questions from Senator Schiff, I look forward to working with you and the state of California to do everything we can to fight violent crime in California. And you know as well as I, that crime is only going to go through the roof now after these forest fires. You’re gonna have looting. You’re gonna have price gouging. You’re gonna have so many things that I have dealt with in the State of Florida, and I am committed to working with California just as much as I am committed to working with you Senator Kennedy in the tragedy that just took place in Louisiana.” “We’ve got to ensure, if I’m confirmed, that everyone in this country is safe.” “Of course we care about our economy and what’s happening in this world, but if we’re not safe- None. Of. That. Works. We have got to come together, we have got to work together to make America safe again.”

“I took Tylenol and my kids are just fine.” Or “I never took Tylenol and my kid is autistic.” Hear me out: Smoking is linked to lung cancer, But smoking is not the only thing that causes lung cancer. Also, smoking does not guarantee lung cancer. Wouldn’t it be reasonable that Tylenol is the same way? Tylenol is linked to autism, But Tylenol is not the only thing that causes autism. Also, Tylenol does not guarantee autism.

Former U.S. Senator introduced Lt Col Tulsi Gabbard with a mic drop 🎤 “I’ve done my homework and here are the facts. She is the first American-Samoan member of Congress. Period.” “At age 21, Tulsi became the youngest woman in America ever elected as a state representative.” “In 2003 she joined the Hawaii national guard. When deployed, in her reflection, her opponent raised the issue ‘could you serve the people that elected you if in fact you were deployed?’ What did Tulsi do? She withdrew from her reelection campaign. This would not be the first or the last time Tulsi put her country above her career.” After rattling over more of her qualifications, he ends his statement saying: “At the ripe age of 43, Tulsi has the life experiences that match or exceed most members of Congress.” “Chairman Cotton, Vice chairman Warrener, members of the committee, it is my honor to support and to introduce to the committee Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard.”
