I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail.

A lot of people are going to die from this
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots

When someone puts their life on the line to defend this country in uniform, we in turn, promise them health care after their service.

Trump froze all hiring at the VA at a time when the VA is experiencing a shortage of doctors & nurses. Unacceptable. Our veterans deserve better.

Trump said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries.

This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American.

So he's doing that by buddying up with the man who cut environmental protections, gutted food safety laws, and rolled back regulations on dangerous chemicals?

Do we have this right?
