Pressure works. ABC/Disney bought into the image of Trump as all powerful, but they found out pretty fast that everyday people hold a lot of power, too.

As President Trump ties Tylenol to autism, many in the scientific community are alarmed by the politicized rush to present drug like leucovorin as solutions, bypassing the slow careful work research demands.
As Trump ties Tylenol to autism, doctors raise alarms and urge more research
U.S. officials will issue a warning label on Tylenol for those who are pregnant, a move that contradicts the guidance from the major medical societies.

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children.

Pay all workers a living wage.

On Sunday, the International Association of Genocide Scholars said that Israel’s nearly two-year military campaign in Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of people and left swaths of the enclave in rubble, meets “the legal definition of genocide.”
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, leading scholars' association says
Israel's foreign ministry called the resolution “disgraceful,” but it added to a growing chorus from rights groups concluding that Israel is committing genocide.

Happy Labor Day!

For over a century, Illinois has been the epicenter of the fight for workers’ rights. Working families are the bulwark that has made our state the 5th largest economy in the nation.

Today, we celebrate workers and their leadership of Illinois’ success.

Thousands marched in a Labor Day Rally in the West Loop this afternoon. The rally focused on workers' rights and what protestors say is an attack on unions in favor of billionaires.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin.

If workers stand together, they will win.

UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse.

This is a testament to our pressure.

I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Tell Congress: Stop Trump's Plan to Let AI Deny Medicare Coverage
Donald Trump and Dr. Oz want to let Artificial Intelligence (AI) choose which procedures Medicare will cover for individual patients -- with AI companies being paid based on how much money they save by denying people’s coverage. This cruel ploy comes as Medicare faces an urgent funding crisis thanks to Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. None of this “cost-saving” would be necessary if Trump and the GOP weren't driving up healthcare costs and starving our healthcare system of funds. Email Congress NOW: Demand that they stop AI-powered healthcare denials and use the upcoming funding deadline to restore healthcare.

CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC

CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports.

Horrifying news for public health.

Breaking news: The Trump administration wants to use a Navy base north of Chicago as a launchpad for federal law enforcement activity against undocumented immigration, defense officials said Tuesday.
ICE asks for access to Chicago-area Navy base to assist operations
The request followed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s declaration that a ‘strike team’ of ICE agents would arrive in Chicago soon.

After the Department of Health and Human Services said Susan Monarez is no longer the CDC director, her lawyers said she did not resign and had not been fired, accusing HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of “weaponizing public health for political gain.”
