Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

Oh the irony...
Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious.

Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

Hey Mr. Tapper, is there any timeline for reporting on Donald Trump's clear pattern of cognitive deterioration? I figured you'd be a great person to ask given that you've done so much research and reporting on this area of medicine.

The lesson for all of us, including everyone who cares about #NIH, is:
PUBLIC PRESSURE WORKS.

There was enough public pressure about Ed Martin that a few Republicans cracked and said they might not support him. And then Trump folded.

The Trump grip on power is much more fragile than it seems.
NEW: Ed Martin is OUT as Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney for DC.

“We have somebody else that we’ll be announcing over the next two days who’s gonna be great.”
