I know that The Regime isnβt listening to scientists and healthcare professionals right now.
It is nonetheless important to continue to speak out about the destruction of science and healthcare.
And we can do a lot by continuing to amplify evidence-based guidance.
People are still listening.

About 28% of employees at these facilities are immigrants.
In addition, Medicaid is the primary payer for these facilities, and Republicans cut that too, so.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I donβt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make whatβs happening now look like childβs play. And people are disappearing.
Tried to read about the Jan 6 terrorist who now works for the Justice Department but it was behind a pay wall. Everything wrong with the USA in one sentence.

ICE is a crock and any rational person would be a hard no on cutting medical, education and food in favor of tax cuts for billionaires.
π¨Prasad Vinay, director of FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, decided to overrule 30+ of his own scientists on recommending COVID-19 vaccines.
TL;DR: Massive overreach of FDA's purview and a fundamental misunderstanding of COVID-19 risks vs COVID-19 VACCINE risks π§΅π
Perhaps the most remarkable thing from the last few weeks is that is the official position of the White House and President that this bill does NOT cut Medicaid. And we all pretend somehow this is normal and that Trump remains fit to serve.
