There's an impeachment resolution against this guy in the House but it's not being talked about very much because "This lunatic is trying to kill your children" isn't a compelling enough political message I guess
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

This change will result in more opaque decisions where subject area experts have less input. And feedback to grant submitters will be significantly reduced. It’s a step backward. And it’s a direct result of their reorganization and reduction of the NSF.
🧵 NSF is reducing external review requirements and eliminating routine expert panels, citing staff shortages that this administration implemented. This change expands program officer authority. But the solution to flawed accountability isn't less public accountability.

The Democratic Party's formula for the last 50 years has been "Let's be friendly with extreme wealth and maybe we can also get modest policy wins sometimes." The last 10 years and this year in particular should be conclusive proof of how badly this has failed. But we're stuck with it anyway

Do you realize how big a business Medicare and Medicaid is for PRIVATE insurance companies ?
That doctors are already quitting because what Medicaid and Medicare pays them is too low and the paper work is an overwhelming time and dollar suck ?

It’s time to end medical insurance companies and move to a single payer system that covers everyone.
Leave it in the hands of the corporations and it’s nothing but a con game to siphon billions a month out of public and private coffers and into the super-yachts of the filthy rich.

I hope the Dems realize that if they extend the ACA subsidies, and take no other steps, they are giving carte blanche to the biggest insurance companies and major hospital systems to find new ways to game the system and increase costs.
