Please call your Senators & ask them to co-sponsor Senate Res 374, the Alsobrooks resolution of no confidence in crackpot HHS Secretary RFK jr.

All 27 co-sponsors are Dems. We need some Rs on this!

Call 202-224-3121
Ask to be connected to your Senator’s office.
On what possible way
"The Palestinians are doing very well, actually," Trump said. Really.

1930s Germany
Trump just called an ABC reporter "insubordinate" and said "I think the license should be taken away from ABC."
Insubordinate? The press doesn't work for you, asshole.

That’s how men do.
A long list of MEN exists in the Epstein files who took advantage of and molested/raped children and vulnerable girls.

So far there is only 1 person serving time.

A WOMAN.

Read that again.

Just because some pollster told her she can’t win statewide unless she tones it down doesn’t mean anyone should forgive Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the 147 goddamn republican insurrectionist pigs.

It’s amazing to me that of all the things Trump has done, this is the hill they’ll die on, but I will definitely take it.
“.. regardless of how it shakes out, the drama around the files has punctured Trump’s aura of invincibility within the MAGA movement in a way few, if any, things have before. And it has proved a massive unforced political error ..”

I’m so, so good with this.
"Trump is historically and deeply unpopular. it’s not just that people disapprove of him; they strongly disapprove of him. This is the biggest story in US politics. [It's] bad for Rs and getting worse."

I'm sure Rep. Jason Smith's constituents in southeast Missouri are proud of him for suggesting that they don't care about the rape of children.

Malfeasance
The Trump administration's cuts to research funding means scientists can't develop new ways to fight deadly diseases like breast cancer.

Marty Makary is a hack.
Trump’s FDA Commissioner is a hack.
That’s where we are.
A study with data from ~14 million children shows that COVID19 infection is significantly more harmful to kids’ hearts than the vaccine.

Marty Makary falsely alleged that “children died” because from COVID19 vaccine. Whomever told him that failed to account for SARS-CoV-2 infections.

This would be “worst NFP print since Dec 2020,” adds the Goldman desk.
(WSJ) - U.S. nonfarm payrolls likely shrunk by 50,000 roles in October, economists at Goldman Sachs said.

Why next year's flu shot might not be as good as it should be
America's withdrawal from the World Health Organization is affecting the ability of U.S. scientists to track flu and other pathogens. That could be a blow to the development of the 2025 flu vaccine.

High inflation is bad, but it isn’t going to kill you.

Everyone should be VERY concerned about what Trump and RFK jr have done to our public health agencies—especially NIH and CDC. People are going to die because of their incompetence and quackery.
Please pay attention & make your voice heard.
This piece by my friend and fellow co-founder of Defend Public Health @gregggonsalves.bsky.social is a must-read. In it he shares the reasons why public health practitioners and allies must rise up to meet this moment.

Public health has had to fight deniers for centuries, and we must do it now.

Layoffs don’t matter to the Trump oligarchy, so he doesn’t give a shit.
Trump and Republicans are crashing the economy and leaving Americans without a safety net.

There’s a reason only Dem governors sued to release SNAP money.
Because Republicans don’t care about kids getting to eat.
In America.
REP. CROW: “Trump actually has the money to feed these families. Congress appropriated $6 billion to put towards SNAP Trump has decided he does not want to spend because he is trying to weaponize hunger... How sick & grotesque is that?”

Boom!
Every time one anti-vaxxer is quoted in the media, one million scientists and healthcare workers should also be quoted in support of vaccines.
