I don't recall any voters (even MAGA) saying, "Research into medical advancements is a waste of money." These are not minor setbacks, it will set us YRS behind. Our lives/wellbeing are at stake, and for what in return? @altcdc.altgov.info @standupforscience.bsky.social @altnih4science.bsky.social

President Trump is preparing to sign an order that would instruct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin dismantling the Education Department, setting the stage for a potential power struggle with Congress and another round of legal challenges from opponents.
Trump Is Said to Be Preparing Order That Aims to Eliminate Education Dept.
Without Congress, President Trump cannot dismantle the agency. No modern president has ever tried to unilaterally shut down a federal department.

We NEED these vaccines.

I can tell you the updated flu vaccines are what keep me out of the ER every flu season for my crappy lungs.

If you are dumb enough to not get it, fine. Whatever. But don’t f*ck the rest of us!
The FDA just cancelled a meeting to select flu strains for next season's flu shots.

"It's unclear what the canceled meeting will mean for Americans who want to get a flu vaccine next season."

NO. Democrats must NOT negotiate with republicans to fund what Trump is doing. We should WEILD the power of the slim majority to DEMAND individual agency funding bills. There is NO REASON to allow the GOP to fund the dismantling of our government. Make THEM fund it properly or make THEM shut it down
Jeffries: "Republicans have the House, the Senate, and the presidency. It is their responsibility to fund the government."
