Infectious disease doctors are really out there saying “fuck them kids” with their whole chest.
Hundreds of children are dying in the US every year from infectious diseases such as flu and Covid.
We should be using all tools to reduce these deaths, not shrugging our shoulders and accepting it.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

The JUDGES Act would hand Trump 22 new judicial appointments, and some Democrats in Congress are feeling pressure to vote yes on it to lighten the caseload of judges in their states. A few Democrats have even co-sponsored it.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
