More CDC Cuts :: NCHS Edition 📊🔫

At least 1/3 of the staff at the National Center for Health Statistics has been cut (and remain cut). This is catastrophic for our nation’s health data.

Say goodbye to national health statistics that you can trust, healthcare surveys, NHANES and data systems.

Q: "Has Qatar changed their behavior from 2017 when you accused them of funding terrorism?"
Trump: I don't know, in 2017 I didn't really know them very well.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

The man has exhibited visible disgust for anyone with a disability for years. They’re eugenicists.

Even if this gets overturned by the courts what are parents supposed to do in the meantime if they live in a red state?

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

How many of you thought Melanoma Trump announced that she's a back channel to Putin and in favor of releasing the 200K children Putin's KIDNAPPED from Ukraine on the same day she THOUGHT the Orange Mussolini might win the Nobel Prize?

Coincidence???
