I heard the dean
of a journalism school warn
that “Nobody
can protect you.
These are dangerous times,”
and he is right
these are dangerous times,
but his other point
is quite wrong,
for you and I
are not nobody,
so in these dangerous times
we somebodies
must protect each other.

4/ There are many falsehoods circulating—including some from public officials. RFK Jr. wrongly said there’s nothing unusual about this year’s measles. In fact, we’ve already surpassed 8 of the past 15 years’ measles counts. This year is VERY unusual.

Pay attention folks
New admin claims to be the frontier of radical transparency—but in just 1 week, public health decisions are being hidden from view. Instead of strengthening transparency, Sec. Kennedy is rolling it back:
1. ACIP meeting (CDC’s vaccine advisors). Delayed = No transparency on vaccine policy decisions

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

How does this make sense? Protection for consumers is critical for our safety.
The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.
Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

The CFPB has returned $17 billion to American consumers. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s companies have taken billions in taxpayer-funded subsidies.
