Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

The acting CDC Director has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health. Trump has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health.

Both are calling to make the MMR vaccine into 3 separate shots, which makes absolutely no scientific or public health sense.

Acting CDC boss wants to break up MMR vaccine into three shots

Jim O’Neill joins President Donald Trump’s call for three distinct measles, mumps and rubella shots, claiming a separation would ‘reduce the risk of side effects’ and ‘maximize parental choice’

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

These shitbirds like to falsely accuse doctors of giving vaccines just to make money. If that were the case they’d be overjoyed by this giving MMR as three separate shots right?

THEY ARE NOT OVERJOYED.

Among other things, this idiotic idea will add to the strain on the U.S. healthcare system.

This is wrong on every level. It’s a rigorous process that can take years. Just because a small number of rotten people faked being blind or paralyzed doesn’t mean the system should be gutted or over 9 million veterans getting benefits smeared. This is so dam irresponsible of WaPo.

Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.

This is the SIXTH time they've done this.

Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.

Forget ICE. Abolish DHS.

Did you know this about DHS?

- Has access to the utility bills of 218 million people

- Collected the driver's license data of most U.S. citizens

- Surveils people in public spaces without a warrant

- Purchases bulk data from corporations like Amazon

No One Is Safe From DHS

The rights you thought you had effectively no longer exist
