Trump’s Affordability β€œCon Job” He pooh-poohs cost complaints as a β€œhoax.” Here’s what the numbers say.

Inflation is a measure of changes in prices, not levels of prices. So if the price of a basket of goods is not growing today but it grew a lot last year, inflation will look pretty low, even if the products in question still feel expensive or unaffordable.

Trump Administration Says Europe Faces β€˜Civilizational Erasure’

It has long been clear that unalloyed racism lies at the core of Trumpism, and he is becoming increasingly explicit about this.

Childhood vaccination rates were falling before Trump took office.

But RFK Jr.'s latest attacks on vaccines will make new outbreaks of old diseases even more deadly.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We do not want to go back to that era.

Bradley participated in at least five closed-door meetings over about eight hours Thursday. Two people familiar with his discussions throughout the day said the admiral confirmed that Hegseth had given a verbal order ahead of the operation to kill the passengers and destroy the boat. These people spoke on the condition of anonymity, because all of the sessions Thursday were classified. They were not authorized to identify the lawmakers to whom Bradley made this

WaPo is reporting that Bradley told lawmakers that Hegseth DID give a kill order.

Pollster: Trump losing young voters in some of the most stunning numbers that we have seen. Take a look at his net approval rating among those under 30. You go back to February, it was plus 10 points. Look at this drop. I'm laughing because it's down to -46 points. That is a drop of 56 points.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

lol just a few days there were reports abt how they were fighting because Trump wanted something too huge and too tasteless. And to be clear, IT WAS THE ARCHITECT TRUMP HIRED!!!! so like Trump's own guy came to him with tears in his eyes and said, "Sir, this is tacky and gauche and actually absurd."

RFK Jr.’s CDC panel: No more hepatitis B vaccine for some newborns The CDC's vaccine advisory panel, stocked with anti-vaccine activists and loyalists to RFK Jr., voted Friday to stop recommending a birth dose of vaccine.

Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...

ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:

"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

I Left the CDC 100 Days Ago. My Worst Fears About the Agency Are Coming True "Things have not improved," writes Dr. Debra Houry. "They have worsened. And Congress has still failed to act."

It is easy to feel discouraged.

But we want to thank the many public health professionals, like Dr. Deb Houry, who continue to fight. Sharing her powerful op-ed.

And a huge thank to all the current and former CDC career staff who work tirelessly to protect all people. πŸ’š
