Your child is more likely to die from measles than get beat by one of their trans peers in an athletic competition, and I wish our government's actions would reflect that.

What RFK has done just this week to NOT support vaccines:
-fired FDA's top vaccine scientist
-buried CDC's measles forecast
-shut down agency that runs the NATIONAL VACCINE PROGRAM (OIDP)
-Hired anti-vaxxer to probe phony autism/vax links
-Made Texas kids sick with his vitamin A measles 'cure'
-fired FDA's top vaccine scientist
-buried CDC's measles forecast
-shut down agency that runs the NATIONAL VACCINE PROGRAM (OIDP)
-Hired anti-vaxxer to probe phony autism/vax links

Lankford blatantly lies on CNN: "RFK Jr has been clear he supports vaccines ... the president has been very clear on his support of vaccines."

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.
Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.
I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.
Get local media there.
Make it real.

N. Carolinians, Call Sen Thom Tillis EVERY DAY until he makes a public statement about Ukraine, Russia & acknowledges the damage Trump/Vance have done by aligning w/ Russia. If he really thinks Russia is a “cancer” on the world, he needs to take action NOW. Or we’ll all be Russian soon. 202-224-6342

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US.
It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world.
The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy.

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA
Ppl seem to think that "NOAA weather forecasts" means climate-, boat-, or "in addition to my app"-weather. But the weather forecasts *we all use* are made from the NOAA data *we all paid for*
Make that part clear when you ⬇️

I’m thinking we should spread this news about the firings at NOAA as far and wide as possible. Like cancer research, weather forecasting seems likely to be broadly popular across the political spectrum. apnews.com/article/nati...
Hundreds of weather forecasters fired in latest wave of DOGE cuts
Federal workers who were not let go said the afternoon layoffs included meteorologists who do crucial local forecasts in National Weather Service offices across the U.S.

Seriously. I sue drug companies, you don't have to tell me they suck, nor explain to me the risks of pharmaceuticals.
But vaccines are different, they're like stealing fire from the Gods and burning plagues with it. Their benefit/risk ratio is downright magical.

If you're a prominent voice for the Dems and you capitulate to the GOP to endear yourself to Trump, there's something you need to understand
MAGA will never, ever respect you
What you showed them is you can be pushed around, bought off, and owned like a little bitch
Enjoy that

People may be ditching the news, but it’s not because of the results of the election. It’s because people are sick and tired of corporate media covering Joe Biden’s choice of footwear with more zeal than Donald Trump’s threat to democracy.
The latest news? Not right now, thanks.
Some people disappointed in Donald Trump’s win are quitting the news entirely.
