Many people with hepatitis B do not have symptoms and are unaware of their infection. In infants and young children, an initial infection becomes chronic in about 95% of cases, potentially causing liver damage and liver cancer decades later.
Kennedy vaccine advisers 'turned back the clock,' experts say
Their decision to scrap longstanding guidance on hepatitis B shots will expose more children to the virus and shows how other evidence-based policies can be undermined, doctors and disease experts sai...

Federal agents are now monitoring online criticism of ICE, tracking message boards and community posts around the clock, according to new AP reporting.

Same.
When Americans were cheering on a billionaire (and soon trillionaire) firing low level government employees in the hopes that they’d get a refund check from the savings was when I realized how much propaganda has turned our brains to mush.

Removing the hepatitis B vaccine birth dose recommendation because cases are low is like canceling your car insurance because you haven’t crashed today.

Unfortunately not hyperbole, having dismantled anything resembling a national security apparatus months ago.
There is absolutely no national security with Trump in the White House. None.

ICE agents are separating families. Armed, masked individuals in civilian clothes are pulling people off the street and into unmarked vans. All this with zero transparency or accountability. This week we launched an inquiry into ICE’s unlawful obstruction of congressional oversight. We need answers.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

True work life balance

Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

Literally the day after he took over I got recommendations to follow both him and Alex Jones. From "the algorithm", sure. So very centrist.
Elon Musk falsely claims Twitter under Jack Dorsey was amplifying "far left" ideology and is now "centrist" -

"There haven't been any left-wing voices that have been suspended," he lies. (Musk has banned more people in 3 years, by his own numbers, than in the entire pre-takeover history.)

Trump's second term eviscerated regulatory autonomy. They even randomly fired Democratic commissioners.

This corruption WILL kill people and cause generational public harm, but it continues to receive less attention in the press than whatever brainfart Sam Altman has each morning
NEW: SCOTUS will hear arguments Monday on Trump’s attempt to fire the last Democratic FTC commissioner. A ruling for the president could dangerously expand his control over agencies regulating the economy, stock market, campaign finance and communications.

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.

We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
December 7, 2025 at 7:24 AM
Accurate.
The people pushing for the elimination of birthright citizenship are currently committing atrocities against immigrants within our country's borders and murdering fishermen overseas. This cannot be ethically discussed as an abstract legal question. There is no law here, only a fascist will to power.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.
