In case you missed it, this happened. Higher education in this country will only be available to the rich or at higher interest rates through non-government loans. Nonprofessional degree programs are limited to a $100,000 lifetime loan cap through the government.
Wait until you hear that they cut science and engineering degree funding from the Dept of Edu.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.
And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

RFK Jr. likes to claim that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
So I wonder if he’d like to explain how the rates of ASD diagnoses in the U.S. have kept going up when thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001?

💊🧵Today’s FDA “hearing” on antidepressants confirmed that RFKJ and his FDA want to limit or even remove access to antidepressants, particularly for pregnant people. The hearing focused on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) but the MAHA report makes false claims about all antidepressants.

Pay attention to their messaging. They’re going to steal the next election and say it’s because they got rid of “democrats.” Couple this with the fact they’re amassing a citizenship database, and prepping to charge state election officials with crimes.

📢1/5 After last week’s ACIP chaos, here’s a major but under-the-radar issue: The Supreme Court upheld Obamacare...but only by giving RFK Jr. new powers to control a key health panel that decides what insurers must cover.
This risks politics overriding science—and public health. 🧵

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches.
But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.
