A timeline of vaccine introduction, showing how it reduced deaths greatly. 1800: 450 out of 1,000 children died. By 1890, it was around 300. Vaccines and penicillin were introduced in the coming decades. By 1940, the number was 50 out of 1,000 children dying. Now it's around 10 or 20.

The anti-vax elephant in the room is that if 99% of children ARE vaccinated: your child can be unvaccinated & there's no one to spread it to her.

It's exceptionalism. Non-vaccinated children REQUIRE the safety of mass vaccination.

Each new anti-vax convert destroys the illusion of that safety. 1/

We didn’t forget about journalist Jamal Khashoggi, did we?

Murdered inside a Saudi consulate. Dismembered. Then a full-on coverup, sanctioned at the highest levels.

Trump’s war on science is an attack against anyone who has ever loved someone with cancer.

The American people do not want us to slash cancer research in order to give more tax breaks for billionaires.

Republicans plan to rip health care away from 13.7 million Americans. Including seniors, people with disabilities, and children.

Why?

To pay for trillions in tax handouts to the wealthy.

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

Less than two weeks after Pope Francis's passing, the man who is the poster child for the Seven Deadly Sins posted a picture of himself depicting him as the Pope.

This is not only offensive to millions of Catholics but is a stark insight into the mind of a deeply disturbed individual.

Appalling.

As an absolutely out-of-control clinical narcissist Trump believes he deserves all titles, and is incapable of understanding respect or reverence. The more noise people make about this, the more controversy, the more convinced he will become that he SHOULD be Pope. Blow this up!

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine.

This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.

We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation.

He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths.

In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

In Mexico, Gov. JB Pritzker positions Illinois as a ‘stable and reliable trade partner’ amid Trump tariffs At close of trade mission to Mexico, Gov. JB Pritzker positions Illinois as a ‘stable and reliable trade partner’ amid President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

As Governor, I’m working every day to make the lives of Illinoisans easier and our future brighter.

Judge Says Deportation Of Maryland Man To An El Salvador Prison Was 'Wholly Lawless' A federal judge says the U.S. government’s decision to arrest a Maryland man and send him to a notorious prison in El Salvador appears to be “wholly lawless.”

Fed Judge: “They do indeed cling to the stunning proposition that they can forcibly remove any person—migrant and U.S. citizen alike—to prisons outside the US, and then baldly assert they have no way to effectuate return because they are no longer the ‘custodian’..."

When American Soldiers Were in Trouble, Our Allies Showed Up Inside the allied effort to find four soldiers lost in a training exercise.

"After the last soldier was found, the Lithuanian government planned a procession for the soldiers’ departure on Thursday, with schools closing early and thousands lining the streets of Vilnius." That's behaving like an ally.

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death.

Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.
