Warning: US children's health policy is coopted by AI that hallucinates scientific papers that do not exist. Meanwhile, measles, long Covid, and bird flu are real. And we really need vaccine campaigns to protect public health. Did I mention that RFK, Jr. is a dumb fuck, kid killing ghoul?

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

This breaks my heart. My salary at St. Jude was paid through our comprehensive cancer center grant. My wife's oncologist is at a comprehensive cancer center. Millions of children and adults with cancer get treatment in these 57 centers around the country. These are essential locations for research.🧪
The NCI grant supporting the Columbia comprehensive cancer center was terminated. Tell me how terminating support for cancer research helps the economy.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.
And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.
They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.
Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

Dear DNC, DSCC, and DCCC:
I don't want to see another fundraising text or email asking for a dollar of mine until I see an actual plan to meet this moment.
Y'all had 11 weeks between the election and inauguration, and there's still no plan. There's no excuse for that.
No plan, no donation.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Stay in your job, keep reporting for duty, and make them fire you.
Because they CAN'T fire you - it's ILLEGAL - and we will stop them in the courts.

If a hostile foreign government wanted to sow chaos and create the conditions for easily avoidable harm to befall large numbers of Americans, they probably couldn't do it any more effectively than the Trump administration has over the past eight days.
NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Why can't people just accept that Trump tried to ban TikTok in 2020 but failed and then was against the ban when Sleepy Joe was in favor of it and now is going to save TikTok and China is bad and therefore tariffs, but also the CEO of TikTok is going to the inauguration. Why is that so difficult?
