Neil DeGrasse Tyson Shares Powerful History Lesson In Viral Rant About Anti-Vaxxers—And He's Spot On
Jun 10, 2026
Speaking during an appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson gave a powerful history lesson about why he thinks anti-vaxxers will make the next pandemic even worse.
Tyson has made his name as one of the most prominent science communicators of the last few decades and regularly spoke out against misinformation and conspiracy theories that were all the rage throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. And he expressed frustration that "we still have anti-vaxxers running around" with the capacity to make even more trouble for public health officials.
He said:
“Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
[mockingly]: "'I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.' Like what?"
"I'm going to tell you a story and I don't want you to ever forget this story. 20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
After Sharpe guessed that life expectancy 20,000 years ago was estimated at 10 or 15 years, Tyson said that life expectancy then was only 30 years and that "Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
He added:
“Fast forward to 1840... Half of everyone born was dead by the age of 35. 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air, drank fresh water, free-range game. Science matters here."
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
When Sharpe remarked "I don't want to get it," Tyson stressed:
“That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Tyson's remarks resonated with many.
Tyson's comments came amid reporting that two of the nation's most influential anti-vaccine organizations—Children's Health Defense and Informed Consent Action Network—have collectively spent nearly $50 million on legal efforts since 2016.
According to an analysis of tax records, the groups have devoted substantial resources to challenging vaccine-related policies, including mandates, though the exact amount spent on those specific cases is unclear.
While their leaders reject the label "anti-vaccine," the organizations have backed legal challenges aimed at limiting government authority to require vaccination.
After unsuccessful efforts to overturn the landmark Supreme Court ruling that affirmed states' power to mandate vaccines for public health purposes, activists "have now pivoted to religious freedom claims that could reshape or weaken the legal foundation for vaccine mandates in the United States," per a Washington Post report.

Jasmine Crockett Has Epic Response After MAGA Rep. Confuses Her With Female Colleague
Jun 10, 2026
Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett had a snappy response during a House Judiciary Committee hearing after her GOP colleague, fellow Texan Lance Gooden, attempted to call her out only to confuse her with Vermont Democratic Representative Becca Balint.
The House Judiciary Committee hearing, titled "The Southern Poverty Law Center: Manufacturing Hate, Part II," was convened to examine allegations in a federal indictment claiming that the Southern Poverty Law Center secretly paid more than $3 million to informants operating within extremist organizations, including the Ku Klux Klan.
Before Crockett yielded her time, she entered two articles into the congressional record—one from ProPublica about hate group members linked to the insurrection of January 6, 2021, and another from Salon discussing the SPLC's efforts to combat extremism.
The confusion that followed occurred during an already contentious hearing, moments after GOP witness Alveda King interrupted Democratic questioning by shouting a remark about abortion and transgender issues. King had demanded that Democrats "stop killing the babies and cutting the penises off." Balint had said she hadn't been aware that penises were being cut off babies.
Then Gooden stepped in to submit his own material into the congressional record, saying:
"My colleague, Ms. Jasmine Crockett, said she was unaware that children's genitalia was being cut off. I'd like to submit this article: It says 'Trump Administration Lauds Plastic Surgeon's Statement on Trans Surgery for Minors.'"
"I'll send you a copy, Ms. Crockett, so you can learn more about this."
Crockett quickly reacted, directing a response to Jim Jordan, the Ohio Republican who chairs the House Judiciary Committee:
"Mr. Chairman, just for purposes of the record, I know that that side doesn't have too many women, so we may all look alike, but that was actually my colleague."
Balint jumped in and said:
"I take full credit."
Gooden tried to play off his mistake:
"I apologize. I just assumed it was you, Ms. Crockett. Please forgive me."
You can watch what happened in the videos below.
Gooden was criticized—and many loved Crockett's response.
Crockett always socks it to 'em! I love it. Wish she was Attorney General!

For a party so focused on convincing the public that Democrats don't know what defines a woman, GOP men are showing that they really can't tell them apart.

MAGA Politicians Get Blunt Factcheck After Trying To Blame Biden For Screwworm Emergency In Texas
Jun 10, 2026
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall were called out after blaming a rise in screwworm infections in Texas cattle on former President Joe Biden—even though it was President Donald Trump's administration that cut funding for programs that track the parasite.
Earlier, the Department of Agriculture announced that a case of New World Screwworm—a flesh-eating parasitic fly—has been detected in a three-week-old calf near La Pryor, Texas, about 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The discovery marks the parasite's arrival in the U.S. after it spread northward through Central America and Mexico over recent years.
New World Screwworm larvae hatch from eggs laid in open wounds and then feed on living tissue, potentially killing infected animals if they are not treated.
The pest primarily threatens livestock, raising concerns among ranchers that an outbreak could reduce cattle herds, disrupt beef production, and increase consumer prices. While screwworms can occasionally infect people and pets, such cases are uncommon, and the parasite does not pose a food safety risk.
Rollins noted in an appearance on CNBC that the parasite was once eradicated for more than 50 years but took the opportunity to blame the Biden administration for the outbreak she said is the result of an "open borders policy":
"I do want to note that under the last administration with the massive movement under the open borders policy, the cartels et cetera, border security, that's when it began to make its way back up toward America, hitting Mexico in 2023, moving its way up through Mexico in 2024."
"When we walked through the door last year... I was sworn in February 13th of 2025, they laid this all out for me and I said, 'Well, where are the sterile flies?' We've beaten it before and we've obviously got to beat it again. Not much had been done."
You can hear what she said in the video below.
During a USDA press conference, Rollins once again claimed that the outbreak "does trace back to the last administration and the open borders policy," adding:
"In 2022 was when the biological barrier in Panama, in the Darien Gap was breached. And then, of course, by the end of the last administration, the pest had reached Mexico and began moving northward."
You can hear what she said in the video below.
However, Rollins' narrative is false because previous reporting revealed that the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, eliminated funding for a Central American monitoring and containment program aimed at stopping the parasite's northward spread.
The cuts came shortly before the U.S. resumed cattle imports from Mexico, ending a temporary suspension while also removing U.S.-funded surveillance efforts that had tracked infections.
Agriculture officials and cattle industry representatives had warned for months that screwworm was advancing through Mexico and urged federal intervention, but Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said those concerns went unheeded. Miller said that "instead of using every available tool, USDA moved too slowly and relied solely on a partial solution that takes years to fully implement."
Despite these facts, Marshall stuck to the same script, telling Newsmax:
"We've been through this before. We eradicated the screwworm in 1966 but this is another thing we can thank Joe Biden for, that when millions of people came out of Central America, they brought the screwworm with them. Maybe it was on their beds. Maybe it was on their flesh as well."
Footage of Marshall's remarks were subjected to a Community Note on X that points out there is "no evidence" linking the screwworm outbreak "to human migrants crossing the US border."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Rollins and Marshall have faced heavy criticism for their remarks.
"When in doubt, blame Biden" has to be a Trump administration motto.

Morgan Wallen Sparks Controversy After Grabbing Phone From Security Guard And Throwing It Across The Stage During Concert
Jun 09, 2026
Country singer Morgan Wallen's rage against inanimate objects continued earlier this week during his show in Pittsburgh.
While working the stage during one of his songs, Wallen paced back and forth, lightly interacting with the crowd while regularly turning his attention back to one side of the stage.
At the end of the video, Wallen approached a woman, who appeared to be a member of his security team, holding up a phone and recording his performance up close.
In response, Wallen snatched the phone out of her hand and threw it across the stage, still singing as the spiraling phone caught the reflection of the stadium lights before disappearing.
You can watch the moment here:
@nhoop34 I bet she won’t do that again lmao. Go Morgan! #morganwallen #pittsburgh #imstilltheproblemtour #wallentok #fyp
When this new video circulated, so soon after Wallen flipped a piano on stage, Redditors on the "Pop Culture Chat" subReddit couldn't help but tally reasons to side-eye the singer.
"Whenever I hear anything about this man, he's being a d**k. And throwing things!"
"Probably because inanimate objects can't fight back." - isabella_bombella
"All I know about Morgan Wallen is: 1. He threw a chair. 2. He broke a piano. And 3. he threw someone's phone" - nasa_stuff
"And 4. Hayley Williams hates him. I trust her judgment of character." - firesonahill
"5. He likes to use the N-word." - StrengthGlad2192
"6. He canceled his concert last night, for the claimed reason of storms, but the weather wasn't even bad."
"He just left like a b***h. Likely because Pittsburgh’s Pride Festival was going on. I bet he's homophobic, too." - magikarp2122
"The crew of SNL hated working with him, if you need another reason…" - itsjustthisguy
"His stupid, carefully dirtied jeans. He always looks a mess. At least be professional!" - Apprehensive-Fig2816
"9. He threw a tantrum."
"Elevendy. He threw a tantrum."
"293. He threw a tantrum."
"596. He threw another tantrum." - HighlyOffensive10
"What a f***king d**chebag. I know security isn’t allowed to watch the show, but wow, this gives me the ick. I don’t get how he has many fans, especially enough to fill a stadium, especially-especially for multiple shows." - bbyxmadi
"God, why are men so EMOTIONAL." - freshoffthecouch
It's understandable that there are rules about recording and photography during performances, not just because of privacy and ticket prices but also because of the impact it can have on the technology involved in the performance.
That said, seeing a security guard recording might have been something to address between numbers, or somehow signal to another guard to handle it during the song, rather than throwing the phone.
This just suggests a total disregard for people's property, the cost of cell phones and pianos, and just basic respect.

MAGA Rep. Dragged After Bizarrely Claiming Democratic Voters Went Dumpster Diving For Ballots To Rig California Primary
Jun 09, 2026
Florida Republican Representative Randy Fine was widely mocked after claiming during a Newsmax interview that Democratic voters in California went dumpster diving for discarded ballots to rig the primary election.
Republicans have alleged fraud took place but many of the fraud allegations appear to stem from a misunderstanding of how California counts votes, particularly the time required to complete the process.
California uses a nonpartisan "jungle" primary system, in which the top two vote-getters advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation. Because the state relies heavily on mail-in voting and must process millions of ballots, final results in major races can take days or even weeks to be fully certified.
Fine argued that delays in counting ballots and California's widespread use of mail-in voting create conditions that mean "there’s no reasonable explanation other than fraud.” He also claimed, without presenting evidence, that the state sends ballots to ineligible voters, including people who have died or moved away, and said he believes election fraud is occurring as a result.
He added:
"They have virtually no signature verification, so people can just dig through garbage cans, find ballots, and send them in apparently forever after an election is over. It’s not okay, it’s gotta come to an end, and people need to go to jail.”
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Fine's remarks came after President Donald Trump faced criticism for storming out of a Meet the Press interview after insisting that both the 2020 presidential election and California's gubernatorial race were rigged.
When moderator Kristen Welker pressed him for evidence to support his claims, Trump responded by attacking both her and NBC, calling them "crooked" and accusing the network of knowingly ignoring election fraud.
Fine's comments only go to show just how low Republicans will go to sow doubt in the electoral process, and he was swiftly criticized for promoting a baseless conspiracy theory.
Fine's remarks to Newsmax followed the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles' announcement that it had launched multiple investigations into alleged election fraud in California and dispatched a federal prosecutor to observe operations at the county's vote-counting center.
Something tells us all of this yelling about fraud isn't exactly a winning midterm strategy.
