On his decision to end $500M worth of research on mRNA vaccines, RFK Jr. said:
“The the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu”.

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.
Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.
It’s time to fight back.

I hope my Republican colleagues will listen to their constituents and vote against this obscene legislation, which is a massive wealth transfer to the very wealthy from the working class.
