They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

This is unconscionable. Special Ed is not just for children of Democrats. They are hurting their own voter’s families. Stupid and incredibly cruel. Kids not getting the services they need during formative years will affect them for the rest of their lives. 😡

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Long but well worth a read.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Guns Remain Leading Cause of Death for Children and Teens | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Gun Violence Solutions latest annual report highlights CDC 2022 firearm deaths, with focus on young people and people of color

If you think Tylenol hurts kids, wait until you learn what guns do to them.

1. Vaccines do not cause autism
2. Tylenol does not cause autism
3. Autistic people are actually pretty swell

So many more thoughts but too angry/frustrated by this bullshit to pull it together. Sending a hug to all my neurodivergent friends and family. Love those freaky wonderful brains of yours.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.

To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.

And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Thank you on this labor day!!

Critical, life-saving cancer research (in addition to all the other issues mRNA work advances) being flushed down the toilet. He is a vile human being.

RFK Jr. Torn to Shreds for Cancelling Vaccine Research Projects Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has cut $500 million in vaccine development projects.

RFK Jr has been a liar for as long as I can remember.

I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.

We have to reset our priorities from top to bottom.

Please contact your members of Congress. 5calls.org is an easy way to do it. Vote is scheduled for tomorrow.

We've lost all decency in our leaders and government.

That's heartbreakingly apparent when we see it so plainly in other countries and leaders.

Luke @JDLuckenbach Anyone who can walk 3 grueling months with a child to escape death and escape violence and want a better life, can live next to me any damn time.

I said what I said.

How messed up do you have to be to say that stripping health coverage from up to 16 million people, removing food from kids, and raising taxes on some low-income people is “immaterial”?

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

Trump rescinds protections on 59m acres of national forest to allow logging Agriculture secretary to scrap ‘roadless rule’ that protects lands including largest old growth forest in country

Sierra Club’s forest campaign manager, Alex Craven: Trump admin is ignoring the voices of millions of Americans to pursue a corporate giveaway for his billionaire buddies. Stripping our national forests of roadless rule protections will put close to 60m acres of wildlands on the chopping block.

Experts are calling for an independent vaccine panel. Since RFK Jr fired CDC’s esteemed advisory panel, medical experts—pediatrcians, pharmacists & others—have called for an alternative. The Univ of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy is forming the Vaccine Integrity Project.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
