I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Imagine hiring a flat earther to lead NASA.

That’s the equivalent of what we did with putting RFK Jr in charge of our public health.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded.

These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

Instead of being guided by rigorous research and nuanced debate over complex issues that defy easy answers, the country’s health secretary rejects facts that do not fit his theories and casts out experts who are not aligned with him.

Medieval peasants also had an excuse for their ignorance of science, because not even the most highly educated people of their era had a clue about the germ theory of disease.

RFK, Jr. has no such excuse.

DOGE firings have upended the lives of thousands of hardworking civil servants — including park rangers, disease researchers, and veterans.

Meanwhile, DOGE's own staffers are drawing hefty six-figure government salaries from the very agencies they are sabotaging.

The guy who stole money from kids with cancer, and as president gutted cancer research for children uses a child overcoming cancer as a political prop

Only psychopaths can applaud that 😱

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.”

But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.

If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.
