Once we lose democracy, it will be nearly impossible to regain.

And it’s slipping through our hands…

2/ Trump is considering a $20 BILLION rescue - YOUR money. Not for American schools or healthcare, but to prop up a failed authoritarian who bankrupted his or people. Trump’s using the U.S. Treasury as a personal piggy bank for his far-right buddies. finance.yahoo.com/news/bessent...

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers.

Twice.

But they voted for him three times.

Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare.

When they did it to themselves.

But they don’t like socialism.

Intranasal vaccine combining adenovirus and trimeric subunit protein provides superior immunity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant - Nature Biomedical Engineering A combination of adenovirus-vectored and subunit protein intranasal vaccine enhances immune response against SARS-CoV-2 variants in animal models and humans.

Where are the Covid nasal vaccines for the US to block infections and transmission?
Here's yet another with a very good profile in people for mucosal immunity and high neutralizing antibodies in all participants (from China)

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

So basically RFK Jr’s antivax ACIP were unable to make any big changes to vaccine access because they were too incompetent. We should all take this as a win I guess…

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Once refugees, Vietnamese-Americans now woven into the fabric of Pensacola In 1975, Vietnamese refugees began settling in Northwest Florida. Now they and their families are our doctors, teachers, classmates and neighbors.

Here's a #Florida immigration story for you: 50 years after they fled Saigon, Vietnamese refugees who arrived in the Panhandle are a key part of the fabric of life: "We really are a melting pot in Pensacola." www.pnj.com/story/news/l...

In 1991, ACIP transitioned to a universal recommendation that made all the difference

Within 10-15 years, prevalence of Hepatitis B among children decreased by 68%

Millions have avoided chronic liver inflammation that could lead to liver disease & liver cancer

A man wound up in the hospital after seeking dietary advice from ChatGPT. The man wanted to eliminate salt from his diet and asked ChatGPT for a replacement. AI recommended sodium bromide, a chemical often used in pesticides, as a substitute.

Martin Luther King Jr once said, β€œThe arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

While that is reassuring, I think the United States is currently testing the tensile strength of that arc with all the injustice, hatred, and corruption it is piling on.

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

β€œLiberals already ruined it” is so telling. MAGA brains have been polluted for years by the right’s messaging that liberals are communists, Marxists, socialists, whatever. The metrics tell a very different story.

In Dayton, Ohio, vacant positions for purchasing agents resulted in delays in acquiring hundreds of prosthetics, according to an internal VA report from May. Kasperowicz said the hospital has recently cut processing time for such orders by more than half.

Prez Trump has said, "We love our veterans. We're going to take good care of them."

We got internal docs showing VA cuts & chaos have doctors and others to flee.

In one hospital, lack of staff has led to delays in acquiring *hundreds of prosthetics.*

Drowned out: While Texans beg for help, the GOP redraws the map to cheat.

The purpose of the special session wasn’t about flood relief. It was about stealing elections.

Let me make it plain: Over 100 dead. Flood victims plead for help. Republicans were busy rigging maps for Trump.
