Vinay Prasad began his campaign against the pediatric COVID vaccine months before there was any data about it. He also botched basic stats, falsely claiming that COVID only killed 1 in a million kids.
He now leads vaccine regulation at the FDA.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

The last think that America needs is for MAGA to have a martyr to celebrate. Political violence is not the answer and whoever shot Charlie Kirk will not help the cause of American democracy.

Kind of expecting RFK, Jr to start talking about “life unworthy of life”. His “leadership” is a horror show.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Musk is trying to buy votes in Wisconsin. Resend this if you’re from Wisconsin and you’re not for sale.
Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin.
You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰
#VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍
This is super important.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth should resign.
He recklessly texted operational details of military strikes to a journalist, endangering the lives of American troops and our national security.

Here is Jay speaking at an antivaxx conference in front of a slide that used Twitter survey data to claim COVID vaccines killed more than 500K people and helped fewer than 25K people. (COVID vaccines saved more than 20 million lives in their first year alone.) Jay is antivaxx and also bad at numbers

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

Keep in mind that this was Trump’s plan all along, and that is why they designed the drama in the Oval Office.

Not only were all childhood vaccines studied more rigorously than nearly any other medical therapeutic before ending up on the vaccine schedule, we also have years of data on BILLIONS of administrations since. No other medical interventions have been tested as rigorously as childhood vaccines have.
Every single vaccine in the childhood schedule has been subjected to the highest level of scrutiny for any medical product. Because vaccines are given to an otherwise healthy population, safety and effectiveness are essential.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?
