100% and not an oversimplification. Today would be a good day for democratic leadership changes and for Schumer to step aside.

Yes- or at least step down from a leadership role- like tomorrow.

What a dumb shame it would be to cave to current and future cruelty. Regardless tomorrow would be a good day for some new dem leadership in the senate.

Agree and hearing that FL Senator and Medicare Fraudster Rick Scott is “writing a bill” for healthcare should be reason enough for Dems not to cave..

Having Rick Scott’s name associated with any new health care plan should be enough for Democrats to stand tough and not cave.

A wake up call? Has this representative (and others whose districts are majority Latino voters) been in a coma in the months leading up to the election and for the past 10 months?

If I could "like" this post many multiple times I would .

It took 3 presidents (Eisenhower Kennedy & Johnson) to get the center completed and less than a year for this admin to ruin it.

The premium subscription is so worth it and wonderful way to support all the work that Marc does for all of us.

Tiene menos miedo de decir lo que piensa. Se jubilará tras su mandato, que termina en 2026.

Do you think that new senate leadership will help both fund raising efforts and Gen Z turnout?

I feel awful for the reporters as well.

I'm not just angry that that he's done this with barely a peep or reaction from congress. I'm also incredibly sad at the destruction of our White House.

Johnson lies every time he speaks - either he's always been like this or he's had a good teacher .

100%. No one should be ok with this, but every elected official regardless of their "party" should be repulsed enough to speak up.

We have 4 GOP senators who are MDs. Will it ever be enough for them to step up? I know, rhetorical question.

What planet does he live on? Curious as to the health utilization of his family members.

I don't know how we recover from this, and if we do it will take many years and likely a generation or two.

Who is the woman next to Johnson?

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

How does this woman sleep at night?

Imagine a world where Alzheimer’s, cancer, and deadly diseases could have been stopped and then realize someone chose to let it slip away. Ending research that could have cured Alzheimer’s, cancer, and countless diseases isn’t politics it’s a crime against humanity’s future.

Yes. Don't expect empathy or anything positive from Gimenez. This is who he is.
CNN should know this by now .

Seriously CNN..Stop having this guy on. He will never answer the question asked, and most everything he says are lies.

Yes, for now.

Actually those in junior high school student government are a lot more mature and sophisticated than the vast majority of those representing this administration.

RFK Jr. Vowed to Find the Environmental Causes of Autism. Then He Shut Down Research Trying to Do Just That. While touting a $50 million initiative to identify the causes of autism, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is helping lead an administration that is rolling back protections against pollution and toxic chemicals,...

Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past two decades studying how parents’ exposure to toxic chemicals affects the chances that they will have an autistic child.

RFK Jr. has now cut her entire division.

And this quack MD is up for reelection in 2026. Come on Kansas, you can do better.

Extra embarrassments since they're MDs. One of them, Marshall, is up for reelection in 2026. Maybe Kansas will hold him accountable .

Let me say the same thing today, in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, as I said when Brian Thompson was assassinated, when the CDC campus was shot & a police officer lost his life, and when school shootings happen:

*Violence is never the answer.*

Our rhetoric & actions need to make that clear. 💔
