80 years ago, on August 6, 1945, the United States committed one of the most atrocious crimes in human history and plunged the world into a nuclear dark age. It dropped nuclear weapons on Hiroshima, Japan and mass murdered an estimated 70,000 to 140,000 people, mostly civilians, instantly.

The brilliant @pauloffit.bsky.social breaks down the science and safety of thimerosal and aluminum salts in vaccines, as well as the far-reaching impacts of the CDC’s communication failure around thimerosal’s actual vs perceived risk. Could happen next with aluminum.
Well worth a read.

A CDC Advisory Committee just made the same mistake it did 25 years ago. And it’s only the beginning.

For decades, access to prescription drugs has been limited by profit-seeking PBMs who drive up costs for Illinoisans and force pharmacies to close.
We took bipartisan action this session to protect consumers and save our local pharmacies from being driven out of our communities.

We gotta stop calling people "geniuses" or "gifted". It ruins them. They destroy themselves finding out the hard way they arent indeed good at everything or finding out being smart aint enough to acquire or even sustain success or even being happy.

Illinois has officially ended the fiscal year with nearly $54 billion in revenue — the most the state has ever collected in a single year.
We've exceeded initial projections thanks to responsible fiscal management that prioritizes Illinoisans.

You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.
That’s what you voted for?

If gutting Medicaid was truly good for the country, they’d roll it out before the midterms, they’d campaign on it.
Funny how their "reward" schedules itself for later.
