Do you live in a state that voted for Trump or that has a Republican and did you benefit from enhanced ACA subsidies? Do you have a longstanding health condition? If so, I'd love to talk with you. My signal is emgarcia.85. My email is eric.garcia@the-independent.com

"Just like a toppled confederate general forced back onto a public square, the Donald Trump Jeffrey Epstein statue has risen from the rubble to stand gloriously on the National Mall once again," the group Secret Handshake tells @huffpost.com.

York-born poet W.H. Auden died on this day 1973 (photo by Jane Bown). On former lead mines of the north Pennines:
In Rookhope I was first aware
Of Self and Not-Self, Death and Dread:
There I dropped pebbles, listened, heard
The reservoir of darkness stirred.

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

I see @SecKennedy was able to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial. It's unfortunate the Secretary of HHS was not able to attend the funeral of Officer David Rose who was killed in the senseless attack on the CDC, one of the agencies within @hhs.

Trump Says Broadcasters Should Lose Licenses for Criticizing Him

Trump Says Broadcasters Should Lose Licenses for Criticizing Him

This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."

Also? Remember that time when Melissa Hortman and her husband were still lying dead on their kitchen floor and Senator Hoffman and his wife were fighting for their lives in the ICU and Mike Lee decided to post jokes about it on Twitter?

Yeah, me too.

It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms.

It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro.

It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume.

When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.

Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

The CDC shooting was public health’s Jan. 6 β€œIn RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine," write an epidemiologist and a former CDC staffer.

But a white guy with a COVID conspiracy manifesto isn’t news at this point. After all, that’s who runs the government now!

The CDC is a part of Health & Human Services, headed by RFK Jr., whose conspiracy-addled ideology is indistinguishable from the motivations of this terrorist.
