Wow… what a great marketing point - I’m the one who can make your fellow Americans go hungry

SMH @ the depravity
Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

It’s not making America healthy again if they’re doing away with the MMWR team.

These are the folks that help keep us safe by sharing early alerts re disease spread,

Of all the asininely stupid health moves to make, this one gets the prize.
BREAKING: A Friday night massacre is reportedly underway at the CDC. Dozens of “disease detectives,” senior scientists, the entire Washington staff, and editors of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) have been RIFed and issued termination notices.

The start of the Medicaid nursing home closures has begun. What’s unsaid in this article is this nursing home is on highly valuable land in Winter Park near Hannibal Square.

Heartbreaking for elder residents to be forced from a quality facility into who knows where.

Would someone explain to the thoroughly #UnfitToLead head of #HHS that mRNA vaccines represent one of the most promising areas in the battle against cancer.
Scientists at the University of Florida have created a breakthrough mRNA cancer vaccine that erased deadly brain tumors in early human trials without chemo or radiation. Tested on four glioblastoma patients, the vaccine reprogrammed their immune systems within 48 hours to attack the tumor.
