I’ve seen this shared several times with the header and footer not visible, so you can’t see the artists’s name.

NEW: Trump’s approval on managing the government has cratered - now just 33% overall!
Support from his own party is slipping fast:
Republicans down from 81% → 68%
Independents down from 38% → 25%
Even his base is losing faith.
The “populist” president is losing the people.
meanwhile, even more people will lose healthcare

These men claimed the ability to bend COVID to their will.
Now that we’ve had some time to assess their competency leading the NIH and ACIP, we should all now recognize these were delusions of grandeur.
It was a bad idea to elevate people based on imagined feats of glory.
Another depressing story about the damage these goons are doing, another reminder you can count on @motherjones.com to keep doing important reporting while CBS etc melt like the wicked witch. It’s about $25/yr to subscribe to print. Do it today, in honor of Cheney.

In case anyone needs a reminder of how successful the Republican attack on public health has been:
A person who is the first probable measles case near Salt Lake City refuses to speak to the health department, so anyone they came into contact with can’t be warned.
This is especially insidious…

Screen grab of the webpage for the journal article titled, Christian nationalism and ableism in the United States by Andrew Whitehead.
NEW RESEARCH
Americans who embrace Christian nationalism more likely to agree situation f/ people with disabilities is good as it is, disabled people demand too much from rest of society, & there have been enough societal efforts in favor of people w/ disabilities.

A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.

American politics is an exasperating, frenzied, and acutely dangerous mess. Let’s sort through the events of the past week to separate what matters from what does not.

In 2025, we are losing our measles-free status, just 25 years after we eliminated measles from the US because of vaccines.
It’s not because our sanitation systems have been eliminated.
It’s because people aren’t getting vaccinated.

It's almost like getting vaccinated is beneficial. "According to state data, both counties linked to the outbreak have low vaccination rates among school children "

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?
And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.
Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.
