It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

The pathetic DOJ tried to redirect to Clinton. He did not just run for President and isn't currently President. Perhaps America should be better informed about the current Occupant of the White House. What exactly is this?

Nothing more than perceived wealth that doesn’t exist for the purposes of taxes, but magically does for the purposes of leverage. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay real taxes on low wages and can’t leverage shit. The game is rigged. Tax the rich.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

MAGA is very upset about some Somalis who did 8 billion of fraud in Minnesota the same week they praise Trump for pardoning a venture capitalist who defrauded thousands of Americans for over 1 billion.

You cant reason with a shameless violent cult hellbent on white supremacist power.

Where are Somalis in the Epstein Files? Oh wait there aren't.

It was rich men, overwhelmingly white men, who raped girls with Epstein. Allegedly Daddy Trump was Epstein's closest friend for 10 years.

So where are the Epstein Files?

Hit MAGA back and don't let them demonize Somalis. Enough.

Peter Swenson, a Yale professor and one of about 20 million Americans with long COVID, says calling chronic illness a “journey” needs to stop. He feels “pinned down by it, stuck with it,” calling it a “bad trip” with fatigue, brain fog, dysautonomia and heart problems.

We need masks in healthcare...ALWAYS
Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Again, can you imagine if a writer of color, a Black reporter specifically, did what Olivia Nuzzi did, what would happen to her career?

Would she be rehabilitated in less than a year? Hired by Vanity Fair? Given a book deal? A NYT puff piece?
