The American Academy of Pediatrics has affirmed that it will continue to follow its own evidence-based childhood vaccination schedule, regardless of the recommendations made by RFK Jr.'s American Institute for Childhood Protection (AICP).
That’s what responsible leadership looks like.

I’ve heard many questions challenging the accuracy of the Department of Labor’s “Job Corps Transparency Report.” It should be no surprise that DOGE was involved in writing it, as Secretary Chavez-DeRemer admitted during the hearing.

When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a shit about a made-for-clicks twitter fight between two billionaires arguing about who gets the bigger share of the corruption spoils.

ICE, with backup from local police, the FBI, and DEA, is invading our communities to kidnap our loved ones—friends, family, neighbors. This is state violence, plain and simple. But we are not powerless. The people are rising up, and we are many. We see you. We will not back down.
