"Insurance companies currently rely on ACIP’s guidance on which vaccines to cover. But if enough reputable public health groups come up with recommendations different from ACIP’s, Osterholm said, those groups could sway insurance companies on which shots to cover..."

Ossoff: We usually get this, which specifies how many folks you intend to employ. What we have is a 26-page PowerPoint. Here, it specifies about $17 billion in cuts to medical services. Who are you cutting?
Collins: We’ll have more information as we go forward.

Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

The first time the Donald was president I felt stress every day. The second time he is much worse and I feel the same way with many more years in this term. Still working on how to make a difference. Likely doing many small things makes a difference. Keep the faith!

Complete nonsense. Do not vote with the Republicans they don’t care about their constituents.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk want a shutdown to destroy vital government services faster.
It would be a disaster.
And we have to alert everyone how much pain it would cause the American people.

Are there any Republicans currently in office with a spine? Who don’t want to give Ukraine to Putin, provide relief to other countries, support our veterans and preserve the social service network. Actually care about other humans? Does the Donald own all of them?

Budde told Trump that one action of unity is "honoring the dignity of all people." The second foundation of unity is "honesty. The third is "humility."
