For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

Across ERs, Tylenol orders for pregnant people dropped after health officials linked drug to autism Immediately after U.S. health officials linked Tylenol to autism, the drug's use in pregnant women visiting ERs dropped, new study shows.

Rand Paul Doesn’t Understand How Immunity Works Folks like Rand Paul and Mel Gibson are trying to rewrite the history of COVID, making you think that vaccines were the problem. Don't believe their pandemic revisionism.

Pick your favorite reason for war adventure. No reason to go to war to stop nukes. Trump tore up the no nukes agreement during his last term and created a bigger mess.

With Prasad bouncing from the FDA, now we’re never ever EVER gonna see the data.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools - purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration - to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

The Trump administration's mass deportation dragnet has unleashed a new wave of government surveillance across the country.

In Minnesota, federal agents continue to surveil, track, and intimidate people for exercising our First Amendment rights.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Poll: Americans increasingly trust career scientists, not leaders, at CDC, NIH, and FDA

Lack of trust in the leaders of our federal health and public health agency leaders, but still trust in the scientists within those agencies. www.cidrap.umn.edu/public-healt...

RFK Jr. is trashing decades of public health progress. www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

🧪 This is blatantly political and not science-based. I didn't believe CDC would do this, but it is on their webpage www.cdc.gov/healthy-yout...

The United States negotiated a deal to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

That was President Obama’s nuclear deal—and Donald Trump ripped it up.

Now, Trump's dragging America into another endless war in the Middle East.

You’d think senators couldn’t wait to exert their power back. They’ve all been neutered

This surprises nobody. Whenever Trump has his feelings hurt or feels slighted or people are not obsequious enough he lashes out as hard as he can.

FDA Drug Chief Aims to Hire Friend Pushing for Controversial SSRI Warning — Proposed labeling change has become a priority for Tracy Beth Hoeg by Associated Press

Tracy Høeg wants to hire her friend Adam Hurato!

Pretty sure hiring your besties is a clear conflict of interest!

Also: you know what’s really BAD for pregnant people & their kids? Untreated mental illness

Hurato is (surprise!) on RFK Jr’s kooky ACIP & is a “medical freedom” advocate

The administration is setting up the idea that anyone opposing Trump is engaging in "domestic terrorism," as Trump's EO set out. (This is a way to get around the specific definition of "domestic terrorist" in U.S. law.)

The press relentlessly attacked Biden when he organized the Kabul airlift to get Americans out of Afghanistan after the Afghan army collapsed.

But when their Very Special Boy starts a War of Whim without bothering to plan an evacuation of the Americans left behind, nothing but crickets.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Admin about the war in Iran.

I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

Donald Trump has killed more Minnesotans in 2026 than violent criminals have.

Title reads: "The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 yr might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm" The cover of the current issue (February 28, 2026, Vol. 407 No. 10531) of The Lancet. Published in the U.K., The Lancet is "one of the world’s oldest (founded 1823), most prestigious, and highest-impact independent general medical journals" in the world.

"HS under Kennedy has made a habit of throwing good money after bad science."

That "good money" is our tax payer $$, thrown at unethical studies. He pushes ideology over evidence.

The cover of the most recent issue of The Lancet says it all.

A titan of vaccine development sees his field’s achievements slip away Stanley Plotkin, the 93-year-old "godfather of vaccines," is watching his field’s achievements slip away.

At 93, The "godfather of vaccines" observes the results of vaccine skepticism.

As a young intern, Stanley Plotkin witnessed the death of a 3 yr old from Influenza B infection. The boy's epiglottis swelled, killing him. Plotkin went on to develop the rubella vaccine & others.

Keep coming up with so many different rationalizations for this illegal war so one of the reasons might make sense to someone?
