"AI nurses" as "good as any doctor": RFK hearing confirms he wants to take away people's health care Kennedy's prescription for American health: replace real medical care with a lecture about eating better

Can't blame you if you shut off the RFK hearing yesterday. His storm of lies was exhausting.

I watched it and the one throughline shows why Republicans love him so: He wants to take your health care away. Not just vaccines — all of it.

An analysis.

Trump supporters whine endlessly when you suggest they’re racist and then they do stuff like this:

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

Additionally, private philanthropy serves as a tax benefit for the ultra rich. It is as if philanthropy exists because of capitalism? 🤔

So if we reduce federal funding to communities, it leaves private philanthropy to pick up the slack. And private philanthropy can pick and choose which issues and communities it serves compared to the government which seeks to serve all citizens and communities.

A reminder that the Republican Party gained total control of the Florida Legislature, Governorship, and the Cabinet just over 20 years ago. They began dismantling public education right away. That is why we are here.

SUBMIT!!

This is gonna happen a lot. It’s all visual profiling and Indigenous Mexicans and Indigenous Americans often look similar for obvious reasons.

Every single report on the Trump funding freeze — every report on Medicare portal, Head Start, homeless veterans programs — needs to mention immediately WHY. The freeze is in order to complete an ideological purge of so-called “woke” programming. This is IMPORTANT, y’all.

One other factor in the rise in federal contracting is that we don’t know (there’s literally no count) how many contractors work for the federal govt. But, there is always intense scrutiny on the size of the federal workforce. So, as govt has expanded its scope (due to Congress), it’s easier 1/3

Since Monday, Trump has:

-Halted civil rights investigations
-Suspended public health advisories
-Frozen infrastructure spending on roads and bridges
-Rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors

How does this help working people?

Billionaires Should Not Exist Yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

What Trump didn’t say in his inauguration speech | Bernie Sanders The simple truth is that Trump ignored almost every major issue facing this country’s working families in his first speech I was at the Trump inauguration on Monday, and needless to say, I disagree with almost everything he had to say. What really…

The definition is brilliant because according to it, we’re all female now

Zuckerberg has all Facebook accounts now automatically set to follow Trump. It takes a few moments to unfollow or block.

Trump seeks to end telework for federal workers President Trump has signed an executive action ordering federal agencies to bring their workers back to the office full time. Roughly 1.1 million federal employees are telework-eligible.

To be clear, this is about getting people to quit so they can shrink the federal workforce and fuck up services that everyone depends on, from social security and Medicare to FEMA and national parks management.

They want civil servants to quit. That’s the whole plan.
