Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

White House memo that says MEMORANDUM October 10, 2025 TO: KAROLINE LEAVITT, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY PHYSICIAN TO THE PRESIDENT CAPTAIN, U.S. NAVY SUBJECT: President Donald J. Trump Completes Comprehensive Follow-Up Evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE President Donald J. Trump successfully completed a scheduled follow-up evaluation today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The visit was part of his ongoing health maintenance plan and included advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventive health assessments conducted by a multidisciplinary team of specialists. These evaluations were performed in coordination with leading academic and medical consultants to ensure optimal cardiovascular health and continued wellness. Comprehensive laboratory studies performed in conjunction with the visit were exceptional, including stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters.

President Trump continues to demonstrate excellent overall health. His cardiac age-a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG-was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age. He continues to maintain a demanding daily schedule without restriction. SUMMARY: President Donald J. Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance.

Trump got his COVID19 vaccine today.

He will always have access to everything he needs to maintain his health while denying others the same.

@ashdashlee.bsky.social and others inspired me so much at the #onemillionrising meeting this week that when I saw there wasn't a #stopthetrumptakeover rally in the town I was going to be in this weekend, I clicked on the link and set one up at the last minute. Over 30 people joined me in Ukiah.

On top of the very real death and suffering this deeply immoral bill will cause, there is massive job loss that will devastate the health care sector.

The votes are slowing down.
They don’t have a bill.
Still issues with Parl.
Still disagreeing in caucus.
Still fighting with House.
Still no final language.

Hundreds of veterans volunteer to attend asylum hearings with Afghans The effort began after a former Afghan interpreter was detained after his San Diego asylum hearing this month.

“In the last week, more than 200 veterans have volunteered to attend immigration hearings with Afghans who worked with U.S. forces during the 20-year war in Afghanistan…”

Just so we’re all on the same page: the “sniper” in Idaho who attacked firefighters and police is the son of a MAGA-supporting, far-right extremist. I haven’t seen any executive orders calling for the deportation of white terrorists—have you?

1/ A mother afraid to go to the hospital. A newborn born too early from stress. A neighborhood too scared to call 911. Unfortunately, these scenarios are all to real. This is how #immigration crackdowns collide with public health. We break it down on last week’s episode of America Dissected.👇

Everything happening is a lot.
Take a breath. It’s not on you to fix all of it.
Find a corner of it you can work on.
Do a thing today that matters to you. Help someone you can help.
Don’t let anyone talk you out of trying.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?”

🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season.

Brilliant timing.

Every 5 years, the US wants to bomb a country to “save its women,” while stripping away rights from women across the US

And are trying to gut Medicaid and SNAP to give tax cuts to billionaires.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Proposed federal budget could lead to over 51,000 deaths. 8,811 deaths annually due to the bill’s failure to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits. 11,300 deaths annually due to the loss of Medicaid or Affordable Care Act Marketplace coverage. 13,000 deaths annually due to the rollback of nursing home minimum staffing requirements. 18,200 deaths annually due to low-income seniors losing prescription drug subsidies. Source: Analysis by researchers at Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania in response to the federal budget reconciliation bill.

Enacting a House-passed federal budget reconciliation bill could mean millions of people disenrolled from Medicaid & ACA Marketplace coverage, resulting in as many as 11,300 deaths annually, according to a new analysis.

Other provisions could mean a total of 51,000 deaths annually.

I want to emphasize that this is 18,000 avoidable deaths per year *of Medicare enrollees.*

They aren't in CBO's "uninsured" count — they're older people and folks with disabilities on Medicare who won't get extra financial help because of a proposed moratorium on a regulation.

Increasing frequency of eligibility redeterminations, when many states are ill-equipped to use existing data sources to confirm ongoing eligibility, has the same effect: Eligible folks get paperworked out of coverage alongside those who have actually become ineligible.

2025 House Bill is three fifths to two thirds the size of 2017 ACA repeal bills

CBO finds the House bill has $1 trillion in health care cuts and increases the uninsured by 16 million (w/other changes).

How big is this? Compared to 2017 ACA repeal bills, this is larger than "skinny repeal" and up to two thirds the size of full repeal.

Wow.

The House W&M bill includes a slew of tax cuts for wealthy ppl. One glaring omission: an extension of enhanced premium tax credits. And that's a major reason 13.7M would be uninsured per CBO's early look at proposals in the House E&C bill. democrats-energycommerce.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I urge everyone to stop referring to Trump's "executive orders." Most of these are not legitimate and have no real legal effect. Instead of dignifying/normalizing them, let's call them what they are: dictator's decrees or imperial edicts, take your pick.

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:

1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.

These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.
