It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms.
It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro.
It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume.
When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.

Exactly. They already approved the aid. Rescission is just backtracking—under pressure from Trump and his foreign handlers. Cutting it now doesn’t save money—it signals surrender. To Russia. To fear. We have to flood the Senate with NO votes before July 18.

"The DOD held up a shipment of US weapons for Ukraine this week over what officials said were concerns about its low stockpiles. But an analysis by senior military officers found the aid package would not jeopardize the US military’s own ammunition supplies ... it was a unilateral step by Hegseth."
Hegseth halted weapons for Ukraine despite military analysis that the aid wouldn’t jeopardize U.S. readiness
The move blindsided the State Department, Ukraine, European allies and members of Congress, who demanded an explanation from the Pentagon.

People need to stop pretending that the arms shipment block on Ukraine was some pentagon only plan and focus their anger on the real person responsible; Donald Trump. The president could end this now, instead he is trying to weaken Ukraine for Putin’s benefit.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

Please note. Rubio has not only done a complete, unprincipled and irresponsible reversal on Ukraine, he is doing so in a way that could lead us to violate a law he himself helped write. Once upon a time he knew how dangerous it would be to reward Russian aggression.
So, that new give Putin all he wants "peace" plan Rubio floated this week? It appears to be illegal under a 2022 American law Rubio himself helped pass.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Ironic to be calling the "Aetna National Medical Excellence Unit" ... to plead with them because they are denying the CellCept and tacrolimus (rejection meds) for my husband's transplanted liver.
