This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

While the media chums it up with Greene, reminder that she has a bill going before the House today to make it a *federal crime* to provide or advocate for healthcare for trans youth.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "What I'd like to see from the president is empathy for Americans. Donald Trump is a billionaire and he's the president. When he looks into a camera and says 'affordability is a hoax,' he's talking to Americans that are suffering and have been for many years now."

McGovern: "When billionaire CEOs need something, Republicans move at lightning speed. But when it comes to working people needing affordable health care, suddenly the story changes. There's hand wringing and the money is gone. My friends, if you are ok with that, we do not share the same values."

The narcissist-in-chief again proves himself to be an awful human being by using Rob Reiner’s murder to attack him for being a harsh critic (and self-soothe with the lies he tells himself daily)

Really dark stuff. Surely all the people who expressed horror at those who lacked empathy for Charlie Kirk’s murder will show come consistency and condemn this also, right?
Saying they were killed “due to” their feelings about Trump is demented.

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

Unsure why this still shocks me— the “mafia” style efforts at running the federal government, that is.
Anyway, since Trump is threatening the state with ruination, plan a visit to Hoosier National Forest soon.
Lots of opportunities including hiking, scenic drives, climbing / caving to name a few.

So childish…
ICYMI — Trump’s White House posted a video of Santa’s “Naughty List” of media outlets/reporters (showing who is doing their jobs… a badge of honor)
Nothing fascist or authoritarian about this at all!

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
