Thimerosol was removed from vaccines in U.S. 20 years ago, except for one seldom used multi-dose flu vaccine. And what happened after Thimerosol was removed from vaccines in the U.S.? Nothing, except autism rates actually increased (shifting diagnostic criteria).

Colin Seeberger comments, “He’s talking about making people with preexisting conditions pay more. Here we go again.” Below is a tweet from Aaron Rupar quoting Senator John Kennedy saying: “Bringing back high risk pools, which have been outlawed under the ACA.” The attached CNN screenshot shows a split-screen interview with Kennedy and the anchor discussing Republican healthcare ideas.
“High risk pools” are groups where insurance companies put those with preexisting conditions. Don’t let them hide the ball.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
Millions of Americans are losing their health care because of the GOP.
Instead of keeping veterans, seniors, and children insured, Trump is now building himself a $200 million gold-plated ballroom.
Out of touch is an understatement.
The response from the White House. 😳
“In reply, White House spokesperson Davis R. Ingle did not respond to NPR's questions, but sent NPR an image from the film Top Gun of stars Tom Cruise and the late Val Kilmer, captioned: "I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED."

Measles is spreading in Colorado City, AZ. This was once the home of a large FLDS population, including Warren Jeffs. Jeffs is currently incarcerated for sexually assaulting children.
Colorado City is trying to shed its FLDS image but there are lingering issues, such as undervaccination.
Graphic that reads: The Tax Code is Rigged Working families pay an effective tax rate that is 4x higher than the average billionaire’s. The biggest source of income for the ultra-rich—the increase in value of investments they don’t sell—is never taxed at all. Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” made things even worse, giving trillions in tax breaks to corporations, billionaires, and millionaires. It’s not fair that a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.
Our tax code is rigged.

The Department of Homeland Security recently named more than 500 cities, counties, and states it considers sanctuary jurisdictions.

They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

The US is less prepared for a pandemic than it was pre 2020. Experts warn of poor communication, weak outbreak tracking, & cuts to public health workforce

Since his first term, Trump has promised action on everything from tax legislation to health care within a fortnight — only for his announcements to materialize months later or not at all.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan.
We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised.
That’s how democracy should function.
No polio vaccine in 1949. I got these wheels instead. Vaccines save lives. No anti-vaxxers. Thank you science.

A huge river of people at a No Kings rally in Los Angeles, CA
Sparse crowds around the Washington Memorial in DC
A crowd as far as the eye can see at a No Kings rally in Houston, TX
Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America.
On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million).
On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say:
Here, we have no kings.

Have you ever seen a baby have a seizure from meningitis? I have. Have you seen a baby die from whooping cough? I have. Have you seen a baby intubated with epiglottis? I have. Thanks to RFK jr, you may soon see these things as well, as the US wipes away decades of medical progress.
