Cases of whooping cough in Michigan are at their highest level in at least 20 years, as vaccinations decline. The disease can be deadly to infants. Alarmed by the increase, doctors are pleading for families to vaccinate their children.

@muellershewrote.bsky.social , real question...

If trump dies (example, heart attack) before Jan 20th, does that invalidate the election? How is that handled?

We SEE you Senator John Thune and you and your colleagues that want to cut our money our Social Security. You are thieves stealing from the people. We have paid into the program for years sometimes decades. Shame on you ALL! You are all absolutely shameless, reckless, cruel, and we will STOP THIS!🔥🔥

We're going to try to get rid of #PhonyJoni!
BREAKING: Joni Ernst having multiple meetings with Pete Hegseth, appears to be leaning toward caving and confirming him.

If she votes to confirm him — with all the credible allegations of sexual predation and alcoholism — then the good people of Iowa should VOTE HER OUT in 2026.

This insurance executive's assassination was horrible.

For once, I am glad I am not part of the top 1%,or even the 0.1% and that I don't actively try to take away Healthcare, Social Security, or Medicare.

Stop giving corporations more money. When they say "do you want to round up for charity", say "NO". All you're doing is helping their profit.

Interesting.. What would the orange Julius do if he had to face he was pardoned and had to admit he was a criminal?
Manchin: What I would have done differently, and my recommendations.. would have been, why don't you go ahead and pardon Donald Trump for all his charges..
