Children make up almost half of those enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP. But people are droning on and on about how people should stop being sad about cuts to Medicaid and just get a job. They’re children!!!

NPR reports that the RFK Jr.-led CDC has halted the "Wild to Mild" flu vaccination campaign that promotes flu shots by emphasizing their role in reducing symptoms and severe illness
The decision to pull the campaign comes as flu hospitalizations hit a 15-year high, with 50,000 admissions in a week

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Every single vaccine in the childhood schedule has been subjected to the highest level of scrutiny for any medical product. Because vaccines are given to an otherwise healthy population, safety and effectiveness are essential.

JD Vance, a Yale-educated lawyer and sitting VP, claims judges can’t check executive power. That’s literally their job. Courts overturned Nixon, Bush, and Trump. If judges couldn’t rule on executive actions, presidents would be kings.

I’m going to continue to work until my computer access is revoked,” Lennox said. “Then I’m going to volunteer. I’m going to keep working as best I can to support the veterans. That’s what I’m here for.”

A Marine vet thought he found a 'home' working at the VA. Now he's one of 1,000 fired.
Andrew Lennox, who was terminated from the VA, noted the irony of the VA claiming it had fired some veterans to help veterans.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
