Doctor Critical of Vaccines Quietly Appointed as C.D.C.’s Second in Command

“Dr. Ralph Abraham, who as Louisiana’s surgeon general ordered the state health department to stop promoting vaccinations and who has called Covid vaccines “dangerous,” has been named the second in command at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Unbelievable. When will this madness end?

The Trump regime just wiped nursing off the list of professional degrees — a shift that could drain an already fragile workforce and put patient care at risk. By reclassifying the field, they’re slashing loan and forgiveness options for future nurses.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Robert Reich Our Economy Is in Danger. Here’s Why

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

This is bullshit! What are the charges?

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

I know I’ve said this before but him not know who the guy is…… is a million times worse

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19)

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They warned that farm workers in California are falling sick with H5N1 symptoms, yet orders have reportedly come from RFK Jr. himself not to test, not to report, and to keep it quiet.

In Late, Obscure Notice, DHS Turbocharges Trump’s Voter Purge Database, Evading Privacy Protections Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security quietly formalized sweeping changes to a federal immigration database, turning it into a national “voter verification” tool that appears to sidestep federal privacy protections and will make it easier to remove large numbers of voters from the rolls.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

People on food stamps make healthier grocery decisions than most of us Which is why we shouldn't tell them what to buy.

With SNAP on the verge of running out of money, a critical reminder that people who rely on food stamps make far healthier grocery choices than most of us do.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

U.S. hits $38 trillion in debt, after the fastest accumulation of $1 trillion outside of the pandemic This rapid debt accumulation is the fastest outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the debt having reached $37 trillion in August.

We are $38 trillion in debt, millions are about to go hungry, and he's busy building himself a gilded ballroom.

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

"Senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—[are] living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization..."

ICE quietly furloughed its congressional relations team during shutdown It’s the latest example of ICE reducing congressional visibility into its operations.

ICE has the money for a creepy facial recognition app and to pay private detention centers buckets of cash to detain tens of thousands of people, but it can't get creative enough with its funds to staff its congressional relations office to answer questions about either of the above.
