Scientific American: For 20 years, Denmark conducted a large and meticulous study of whether aluminum in vaccines caused chronic childhood diseases. The data was clear: It did not. Malignant crackpot RDK Jr wanted a retraction of the study. The Annals of Internal Medicine said no.

Gilchrist: Even if he had a goal that was in the interests of the people of Michigan, this is not the team I would trust to actually get it done.
They’re so incompetent that they made a deal they claim is supposed to help American manufacturing—but it literally hurts Michigan manufacturers.

Class warfare
MUST WATCH: Mike Johnson says able-bodied young men “should never be on Medicaid.” So let’s get this straight—You crash the economy, refuse to raise wages, let rent and groceries skyrocket…
Then blame poor working men for needing healthcare? This is what class warfare looks like.

Half of the United States has been slowly and carefully inculcated by Fox News to believe that the other half of the country is their enemy and out to ruin their lives. Once this was established, it didn't take long for those viewers to value hurting these other Americans over helping themselves.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.
The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.
This is trickle down economics on steroids.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
