Every single day, someone in MAHA demands that scientists do something that violates the ethical principles that resulted directly from the exposure of the Tuskegee study.
One of the new ACIP goons is advocating for randomized, placebo controlled trials of the MMR vaccine. This would be like now randomizing seat belts for kids or car seats for infants.
It’s so laughable that people this stupid are in charge of our health.

The only hope of uniting this country is in our shared hatred of health insurance companies. We should lean into that.

Good news! 👏👏👏
From @washingtonstatestandard.com: Washington state will backfill lost Medicaid dollars for Planned Parenthood after a court ruling last week, while at the same time, advocates continue to push to restore the funding for abortion access that lawmakers cut in the new state budget.
Washington state to fund Planned Parenthood after Medicaid cuts
Clinics will submit claims to WA’s Health Care Authority for reimbursement, but now the money will come only from state coffers with no federal aid.

He lacks the legal authority to impose this fee, but he’s pressing ahead with it anyway and creating maximum chaos.

I would love to see an absolute shitstorm massive blowup in kindness. Like... a pandemic of niceness. A massive worldwide effort to do multiple kind things for strangers and neighbors and family every day. A trend so big it takes over social media and makes even the right wing news take notice.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.
This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

"Trump's tariffs have created a drop in sales of various agricultural exports, including soybeans. Data shows the US is losing out on billions of dollars in purchases from China, which spent over $3 billion on soybeans in the second quarter of 2024. So far China has spent $0 this year."

ONLY MASS VACCINATION WILL SAVE KIDS—Cases of Hepatitis B in kids and teens dropped 99% in the 1990s only after the CDC recommended universal vaccination at birth. Trump/RFK Jr now wants to reverse that, despite hard lessons from 1980s that casual vax wasn’t enough. www.statnews.com/2025/09/11/n...

People who study, treat, or have hepatitis B say ending routine vaccination at birth - as some vaccine critics want - could lead to a resurgence of the virus.

If we’re going to get serious about ending this horrific political violence then let’s get serious. Your friend and our friends were both gunned down this year by madmen, Mr. President. This cannot be ok.
Q: Do you think you should have lowered flags when Minnesota House Speaker Hortman was gunned down?
Trump: I am not familiar. Who?
