I am laughing so hard I’m crying. Is this going to be @mcbride.house.gov new thing the entire shutdown joining up with different Democrats to look for how Republicans?

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 12h

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

It’s flu season! Get your shot today 💉

💉💚💉

(Remember when “get your flu shot” came with great PSAs instead of conspiracy threads?)

This was SUCH a great campaign from the CDC. It’s the Wild to mild vaccine. This poster shows a tiger and a cute little cat. The wording says “A flu vaccine can take flu from Wild to mild”
More info here about this fabulous campaign: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/whats-new/2023-2024-new-campaign-wild-to-mild.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fflu-resources%2Fphp%2Fshareable-resources%2Findex.html

On a plus side (pun intended), fat shaming is now more associated with fascism. I am hoping this and anti-fluoridated water are seen as fascism now and not something left leaning people advocate.

I grew up in the suburbs and I can say that it's very isolating. People only go there from the city since housing might be cheaper and bigger so you can raise kids (gay or straight)....but they don't do it happily bragging about it.

MEDICARE FOR ALL!
Astronomical health care costs and lack of access drive individuals, families and businesses past their breaking point, while insurance companies continue to soak-up billions of health care dollars, and millions of children’s basic needs go unmet.

Where's the class action lawsuit against Trump being in office? I too have suffered emotional distress and would like to join. I believe we are all entitled to compensation.

Juan Jamón should be Jon Hamm's actor name if he's ever on any Mexican comedy shows, telenovelas, or La Rosa de Guadalupe.

If you’re worried people don’t care and aren’t watching, they are.

Our YouTube audience is primarily young men. Don’t let the fascism get to you, that’s the point.
