#ACIP just voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B birth-dose recommendation.

There is no new safety signal. No scientific rationale.

We are dismantling a 30-year-old, cancer-preventing policy that has nearly eliminated hepatitis B in U.S. children. 1/2
A panel that advises #CDC on vaccine policy votes to do away with the recommendation all babies should be vaccinated against #hepatitisB at birth. "We are doing harm," said panel member Cody Meissner, who voted against this #ACIP recommendation. www.statnews.com/2025/12/05/c...

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates.

Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.
Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

WOW. Read this entire affidavit.
This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

These are the 10 Democrats who voted with republicans to censure Al Green. This is one reason why Democrats keep losing elections. They don’t support their colleagues. WTF?
