Trump is a Dirty Old Whore, Wearing Too Much Makeup, Willing To Do Anything for a Dollar.
The Clean Air Act Funeral. Imagine cheering for more pollution, while claiming you’re “pro-life.”
WOW
John Fugelsang just knocked one out of the ballpark with his brilliant understanding of what WeThePeople face with the death of the Clean Air Act.
“Imagine cheering for more pollution…”
Stupid doesn’t begin to describe 45/47 & his inept admin

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

We get it, really. It’s not fun having to choose whether to get a thing you heard might harm you to avoid a thing that’s much more likely to harm you. But there’s not a risk-free way to live; all vitamins, medications, vaccines, and leaving your home have a risk of side effects, so: The best choice for your family is to do what is very low risk and highly effective (vaccination) to protect you from what is a much higher risk (preventable illnesses). Vaccines have been studied for generations and are continuously reviewed to be sure they are safe and effective. If you can get vaccinated (not too young, no vaccine allergies or disqualifying health conditions, etc.): Please get vaccinated, and please vaccinate your kids.
In other words: We’d love for there to be a 100% risk-free way to live life, but since there’s not, the best thing you can do is make the low-risk, highly effective choice to protect yourself and others by getting vaccinated.

Canadian Medical Association's findings from new Health and Media Tracking Survey: about 65 per cent reported encountering false or misleading health information.
And those who followed health advice from AI were five times more likely to say they had experienced harms than those who did not.

"If the government may simply seize *someone* without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize *anyone*."
Perhaps the most fundamental check against tyranny. And it is gravely threatened.

Use products designed to protect you from malicious activity and nobody says “What, are you afraid of crime?!”
But when it comes to infectious viruses that damage your internal organs, if you use products designed to protect you, they say “What, are you afraid of a li’l illness?!”

Documents show RFK Jr lied to Congress about his agenda in Samoa—he did indeed go to spread anti-scientific doubts about vaccines. He was ultimately successful in getting an outbreak going there that killed 83 people, mostly babies and young children.

An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

I am so angry on behalf of everyone axed by the cretinous turds running the Washington Post today. The best sports section in America. A glittering international crew. It's the ruination of a precious thing by a principle-free rich man, and it makes me sick to my stomach.

Some medications can help you feel fewer symptoms of colds, flu, covid-19 and more but will not keep you from spreading sickness to others! Continue to stay home and away from others as much as possible until you are no longer sick, and wear masks if you have to go out.
Planning to take medicine to help you get through the workday tomorrow? If you’re not feeling well, some medicines might help you feel better but will not keep you from spreading illness to others! Continue to stay home and away from others as much as you can, and wear a mask if you have to go out.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
