Anti-vaccine sentiment is now a load-bearing plank in the Republican platform.
Democrats haven’t budged on the need for school vaccine requirements since 2019. Republicans have consumed so much disinformation that their support has declined by 27% since then.

I've been involved lately in policy work regarding PFAS.
All local water sources are above state action levels, so we prioritize lower-contaminated sources and turn higher-contaminated sources off until needed.
We tell people not to worry—and we're wrong to do that.

Population doomers are bad at math.
The only population crisis the U.S. is facing was caused by Boomers not having enough kids (while cutting their own taxes).
Newsflash: Gen X and Millennial women have never fallen below replacement fertility— but Boomers never reached it.

The number of profoundly disabled kids is actually decreasing.
RFK Jr. is misusing surveillance on autism to promote cruel conspiracy theories. What's worse is the CDC failed to look at public data—special education placement.
This isn't an epidemic, it's a change in classification.

Trump is going to create chaos for borrowers & students by breaking government like an angry toddler.
This is a clear violation of education & appropriations law. To say nothing of his plans to cut SBA staff by over 40% while asking them to now manage ALL federal student loans.

Trump announces that the Small Business Administration will immediately handle all federal student loans, and RFK Jr is now in charge of "handling special needs and all of the nutrition programs and everything else."

Federal Agencies have made these beautiful annual data books with tables, charts, and their legislative authority since the start of our country— but they just sit and molder online now while people look at tiktok and think-tank blogs.
Journalists aren't even using them!

Heritage started the "autopen" bs when they posted the Federal Register and acted like these were supposed to be wet signatures— it's been a reproduction on every presidential document since Nixon.
They actually believe people are stupid enough to fall for this, unfortunately POTUS did.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

"Patriotic education" replaces real history.
📌 Slavery? “Not so bad.”
📌 Civil rights? “Ancient history.”
📌 Climate change? “A hoax.”
With no federal standards, states rewrite history to fit their ideology. Propaganda wins. Facts die.

Higher education becomes a luxury. 📌 Pell Grants? Gone. Poor students are locked out 📌 Student loans? Privatized. Interest rates skyrocket 📌 Tuition? Triples. College is now a gated privilege
Only the rich get degrees. The rest get lifelong debt or no future. #EducationHungerGames

They said vouchers would “save” education. They lied.
📌 Vouchers don’t cover full tuition—low-income kids are locked out
📌 Public schools hold bake sales for survival
📌 Private schools pick & choose students—many deny LGBTQ+ & disabled kids

We are about to lose 1/4 of the Affordable Care Act.
Trump repealed EO 14009, in which Biden instructed the IRS to fix the 'family glitch'.
That fix allowed 5 million people to purchase marketplace health plans, mostly married mothers of young children— including me.

Why?
Because the $276 billion dollar Education Stabilization Fund (ESF) from COVID finally dried up. They will have done nothing.

19% of the Federal Spending is on Medicaid.
In case you wondered where DOGE was gonna find that $2 trillion dollars, it would require taking away healthcare for 72,288,385 Americans.
That includes 40% of US children and 10% of seniors.
