Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

My son will die without his psychiatric meds. He will suffer, he will be in agony. Medication saved his life and gave him a chance to live again.

The cruelty in this administration is beyond the pale. It is simply abuse and discrimination.

It has to stop.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.

Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.

My questions. How many yearly salaries of FBI and DOJ employees would be covered by the estimated $10M it took to fly Air Force one and provide security for Trump to attend the Super Bowl? Why is no one talking about this? Seems to me the DOGE should start at home, this is not about stopping waste.

It doesn’t matter how important it is, & it doesn’t matter how poignant. Its impact is squashed if no one sees it. If nobody knows about it, it isn’t going to matter. It’s as if they’re trying to rewrite history in real-time. That’s why I’m sharing it. ☯️⚖️✌️

NIH has announced major cuts. Medical and scientific research across the country will be badly damaged, affecting America's ability to innovate well into the future.
Here are the 25 institutions that receive the most NIH funding (98% of HHS is NIH). Basically, they're large schools with large hospitals. They receive 50% of all NIH funding.

"The right of suffrage, brings with it a duty of the highest obligation."

Not everyone votes. Some people lack interest, some lack wit, and some just lack hope or confidence.

The government is like the environment. It's healthier with everyone involved and informed. Please #vote.
