Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

If you are unaware, the so-called SAVE Act will disenfranchise millions of married American women who took their husband’s name when they got married. And that dickhead Chip Roy (R-Texas) is the House sponsor.

A message from the brave woman - Dr, Teresa Borrenpohl - who was dragged out by unmarked private security in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
A message from Teresa. ❤️

If you are a media member who would like to cover this story, there are three surrogates who were at the town hall who are available to speak with you.

Found the waste, fraud, and abuse Republicans have been looking for:

Waste = Giving huge handouts to billionaires at the expense of everyday Americans

Fraud = Trying to cut Medicaid & SNAP

Abuse = Using the suffering of CA disaster victims to force through partisan policies

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.
Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14?

What about the White House?

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

8 Republicans are calling on Speaker Johnson not to target Medicaid.

One short of the number it would take to oust Johnson.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk.
