RFK Jr. is going to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It will take a few years before the deaths and disabilities ramp up to a level that even the most vile Republican cannot tolerate.
RFK Jr. will be long gone and unaccountable, as our babies die from preventable illness.

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

Life in the USA in 2025: I looked up 'rubella' because I had only ever heard about it as a disease targeted by a required vaccine for school kids. But now I expect to hear about it because of someone actually getting the disease, so I looked it up. Answer: German measles.

It's a nauseating irony that Rick Scott—perhaps most famous for defrauding Medicare and Medicaid in the '90s—is now the architect of the Republican plan to slash Medicaid.

Not sure it's a matter of short memory. As I've said since 2016, we should think of T as a con.
- In a successful con, the grifter gets away before the mark realizes he was taken.
- In a great con, the mark never realizes.
- But in an exceptional con, like this one, the mark thinks he was in on it.

anyway I’m going out to protest this weekend because we haven’t been beaten yet, and I suggest you do the same
it’ll make you feel better than reading an endless stream of posts about how we’re all doomed and we might as well offer ourselves up to be processed into slurry for the MAGA AI mines now

Absolutely abhorrent that food which could be feeding 3.5 million children a month is tottering because of Donald Trump while those families starve

Exclusive: US aid cuts leave food for millions mouldering in storage
The food stocks have been stuck inside four U.S. government warehouses since the Trump administration's decision in January to cut global aid programs.

I was just about to submit an R16. They updated the funding opportunity notice on March 31, so I thought the program was going to be retained. Now on May 15 they cancelled it before the May 28 deadline for application.
New NIH Notice "expiring" a large number of funding opportunities because
"We have identified a number of Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) that were not expired or reissued as indicated in the implementation plan outlined in NOT-OD-24-085."

This is atrocious. Also, to regulated attendance, they cannot confirm who you voted for, just that you voted. So Dems should show up in force and try to get the checks. Then donate the money to a good cause.
Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵

After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them
