"This is what Trump does: he forces everyone around him to choose between truth and access, between principle and convenience, between friendship and tribal loyalty. My friend chose access over truth, convenience over principle, tribal loyalty over friendship."

~ Mike Brock

"That’s his right, but it’s also a choice that reveals character in ways that make continued relationship impossible.

You can’t maintain genuine friendship with people who require you to share their delusions as the price of their company, who demand that you pretend not to see what you’re seeing, who treat clear-eyed assessment of obvious character flaws as psychological pathology."

"Kennedy — an attorney with no formal medical training — is dressing up an old poison in new clothes and calling it the MAHA movement. It’s not about health, though, not really. It’s about resurrecting the old, toxic doctrine of social Darwinism and giving it a fresh coat of populist paint."

~ Thom Hartmann

"The message, stripped down, is the same one plutocrats have always used to justify their privilege: if you’re rich, powerful, and healthy, it’s because you’re 'fit.' If you’re poor, struggling, sick, or broken, well, that’s just nature’s way of weeding out the weak."
