When I was 14, a 50” TV would’ve been a dream.

Now, I can’t get our 14 y/o to watch a movie on our big screen TV, because his iPhone is way better.

We are former CDC officials. RFK Jr.'s change to vaccine guidance is propaganda.
Under Secretary Kennedy, CDC materials can no longer be assumed to reflect scientific authority.

So, it’s ok for the president to be a horrible human being so long as he is honest about it?

If you want our government to do better, then vote for people that will do better and hold those elected responsible for what they do and don’t do in office.

The rhetoric on Democrats losing the shutdown battle is wrong.

We can’t have people miss out on food assistance, workers go unpaid in exchange for healthcare.

Congress needs to figure out healthcare without US citizens being used as leverage.
