C Colorado rep. Lauren Boebert has dismissed calls for gun law reform in the wake of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, because the county "didn't ban planes" after the 9/11 terror attacks. Speaking on Fox News' Hannity in the wake of the massacre at Robb Elementary School, which left 19 children and two adults dead, the Republican congresswoman suggested the attack showed that gun free zones are "deadly" and that bringing in stricter firearms laws would also not work as "we cannot legislate evil." Boebert went on to suggest that the Democrats are attempting to use the tragedy to push "their radical political agenda," and bring in stricter gun laws.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., does not want you to think of him as an anti-vaxxer. I have yet to meet an anti-vaxxer—someone who spreads misinformation about all vaccines being harmful—who is comfortable with the label. Kennedy is not just anti-vaccine; by many recent accounts, he is one of the princes of the anti-vaccination movement, if not its king. The website Media Bias/Fact Check calls Kennedy’s corporation, Children’s Health Defense, “a strong conspiracy and quackery level advocacy group.” An academic paper published in January 2020 reported that Children’s Health Defense was one of two buyers accounting for 54% of anti-vaccine advertising content on Facebook. Kennedy himself is part of the Disinformation Dozen, a gaggle of influencers generating two-thirds of anti-vaccination content on Facebook and Twitter, according to a recent assessment. Instagram banned him from their platform earlier this year, although his corporation’s account remains active. As Kennedy releases a new “documentary” that uses medical failures toward Black people to sow distrust in the COVID-19 vaccines, I asked myself: how did one of John F. Kennedy’s nephews rise to infamy as one of the loudest voices of the modern anti-vaccination movement?

INGREDIENTS 1/2 white onion diced and divided 1 pound ground beef (85% lean/15% fat) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 garlic clove minced 1/4 cup tomato paste 1/4 cup beef broth 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne 4 bags of Fritos-Lay 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 white onion diced INSTRUCTIONS In a medium saucepan, set over medium heat, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is hot, drop in half of the onions and cook until they're translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, salt, garlic clove and mix until the meat has browned, about 5 minutes. If you're using leaner ground beef than what's noted above, you may need to add a teaspoon or two of olive oil so it doesn't stick to the pan. Add the tomato paste, beef broth, cumin and cayenne. Mix and cook for an additional minute or so. Turn the heat to low and cover the pot to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
