Vaccines are safe and effective.
Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.
When you want information, ask your doctor.
It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Under the bill passed by the House, those in the US earning LESS than $17,000 will LOSE $1,000 a year, the top 0.1 per cent of taxpayers will gain nearly $400,000 a year. How sick is that? And 8.6 million people will lose their Medicaid coverage. This is like a death sentence for many.

Trump's big beautiful bill expands the estate tax exemption yet again.
While millions will get kicked off healthcare and lose crucial food assistance, Republicans are enabling the super-rich to pass down their obscene wealth virtually tax free.
We must stop this bill.

The damage these cuts will cause the most vulnerable will be devastating.
I don’t think senate republicans will stop this monstrosity. The result will be benefit slashed for poor people and an insane increase on the deficit.

The current President is taking bribes from anyone who’ll offer them but I’m so glad Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are not letting that distract them from the fact that the former President who just got diagnosed with cancer is also old.

The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone.
Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%
But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.

There are numerous tax cuts and loopholes in the "big, beautiful bill."
But it boils down to this simple fact:
Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and meals from millions of people.
