mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

The reason it’s so powerful is that it turns /your body/ into the factory that makes the drug. It’s so exciting that the US not working on it will be seen as one of the biggest self-owns in history.

If you were born between 1963-1967, get tested for immunity to measles, even if you got the MMR vaccine as a baby. I did, turns out I’m not immune and I need to get re-vaccinated

I’m not upset if someone on SNAP wants to buy chips.

There are very wealthy people in this country who profit off Americans who have cancer.

That does upset me.

The same Paul Ryan who wanted to gut the safely net after his father's death benefits helped pay for college?

What, Exactly, Is the ‘Russia Hoax’? To start with, it’s not a hoax.

The main thing you need to know about the "Russia hoax"? It's not a hoax

This sounds very bad

RFK Jr. pulls $500 million in funding for vaccine development The Department of Health and Human Services plans to cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu.

So much for “America first.”

For all those rightwingers crying about how “DeMoCrAtS GerRyMaNdEr ToO,” just ask them if they support a nationwide ban on gerrymandering. We do. They don’t. They’re not mad at the concept of gerrymandering, they’re mad that they don’t get to be the only party wielding it anymore.

The transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security prison would have required Todd Blanche or his report to certify she is no longer a threat to public safety. The fix is in place.

The EPA has postponed enforcing limits on methane emissions linked to oil and gas operations while it weighs the possibility of scrapping the rules altogether.

The reason your rent, food, and medicine is high and rising is because of Trumponomics. Trump is robbing you, that's money out of your pocket going to his minions. Money you worked for, you are being robbed.

Thank you for fighting back

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "As a state rep, I get paid about $600 a month. That's not much to live off of. Many of my colleagues, including myself, we have day jobs that help us pay the bills. And by breaking quorum, we are leaving those day jobs behind... So this decision was not made lightly."

The looming Trumpcession Orange man bad (for the economy).

"Most presidents do not want to suffer Jimmy Carter’s fate and so attempt to avoid massive unemployment, high inflation, and especially the combination of the two. Trump, in contrast, has been speedrunning the country toward stagflation." — @nberlat.bsky.social

Mockler: We are currently building on-the-ground and online movements at the same time so we can beat this gangster regime and stop what they are doing

BIG energy at the MoveOn event in Arizona yesterday.

Any Dems who don’t have this attitude should exit politics now:

Almost 90% Of Americans Are Worried About The Cost Of Groceries The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

Trump hasn’t cut drug prices by even 1%, let alone “1500%”. He told drug companies on Truth Social to cut their prices. They didn’t. End of story. This was also his plan to end the war in Ukraine - by posting “Vladimir Stop!” on Truth Social. It’s also how he handles trade.

Thank you for your bravery
More of this please

Talarico and Texas Dems break quorum to Halt Gerrymandering Vote.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Been wanting you to speak out for a long time

And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.

He already wrecked the economy once when he ignored a pandemic. And like true believers, some people gave him another chance and he's on his way to wrecking it again.

Nothing sketchy going on here
