Whenever Dr Oz says Medicaid doesn’t “get its money’s worth” or people must “prove they matter” to qualify… just remember this is a strategy.
They want you to blame disabled and poor people for high taxes.
They want us to take the blame so they can get richer.
Don’t let them get away with it!

Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/2nJqXwfH

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

Important op-ed on keeping our food safe, by @deborahb.bsky.social
In which I argue that the Trump administration risks taking us back to the 19th century when it comes to food safety. Which will not end well.
Opinion | The Return of the Great American Stomachache (Gift Article)
If Trump removes too many precautions, there’s a real chance that we’ll rediscover how dangerous a less regulated food system can be.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️
