"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Health Costs Will Soar for Many in Mississippi Without Action About 331,000 Mississippians who rely on the Affordable Care Act could see their health insurance premiums jump by 37% on average unless Congress acts to extend COVID-19-era tax credits.

Stark warning from Mississippi's Republican Insurance Commissioner: “I don’t know where America’s headed, but we've got to redefine how we address health insurance and health care in this country. If not, we will not have health care in the state of Mississippi in some areas, especially the Delta.”

"If people weren't getting together, and [showing up] at this moment, we would be in big trouble."

My favorite sign at the Montclair NJ No Kings today:

No Kings rallygoers in Nashville are lining streets and chanting: the crowd is a mix of ages and genders.

Bring your family and friends. Stand up with everyone you love, for the country you hold dear.

We are America!

"You are a hazard to the health of the American people."

Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) questions HHS RFK Jr. during Senate testimony.

“Not Just Measles”: Whooping Cough Cases Are Soaring as Vaccine Rates Decline While much of the country is focused on the spiraling measles outbreak, experts warn that whooping cough and other preventable diseases could get much worse with falling vaccination rates and Trump’s ...

“My concern is that there is going to be a large outbreak of not just measles, but other vaccine-preventable diseases as well, that’s going to end up causing a lot of harm, and possibly deaths in children,” said Dr. Anna Durbin of @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social.

that math maths.

It’s becoming clear that the brain worm is running HHS.

Right on!!

Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."

Every Republican senator voted to confirm RFK Jr. as health secretary except for Mitch McConnell, who is retiring and thus was under no re-election pressure.
The entire Republican Party has embraced anti-vax policies. It is pro-polio, pro-measles, pro-Covid. It's a death cult.

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned”

She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired.

The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”

Pretending not to hear the whole room chanting “shame” at her is the most Susan Collins things ever

Trump is a problem

He belongs in jail.

In Suits and Ties, Lawyers Protest Trump’s Attacks on the Legal System The National Law Day of Action, which drew roughly 1,500 people in New York City, was organized to resist the president’s threats against judges and the nation’s jurisprudence.

"About 1,500 demonstrators, many of them lawyers sporting business attire, jammed the plaza outside Manhattan’s federal courthouse as part of the National Law Day of Action, chanting in favor of the rule of law and hoisting pocket Constitutions to the sky."

Trump’s EO defunding PBS and NPR will likely be struck down as an abuse of executive power, but it is another example of Trump’s attack on the free press.

Former Weather Service Leaders Warn Staffing Cuts Could Lead to ‘Loss of Life’ The former agency directors say current employees will face an “impossible task” to maintain service just as hurricane season begins.

Five former National Weather Service directors have taken the unusual step of signing onto an open letter warning that cuts to the organization by the Trump administration may soon endanger lives.

The Republican Senate is to blame for this. Donald Trump wanted only yes men. It was their job to confirm and consent. They knew Hegseth wasn’t up to the job, but put him in charge anyway. They risked our country’s security to please the mad king and should be punished for it at the ballot box.
