I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

This is what makes America truly great, when we live up to these values. It is a good reminder.

“This flag represents the will and resolve of the American people to protect those who cannot protect themselves and to stand strong and defeat all who attempt to bring us harm”

SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’”

What is the plan to reopen and how will we keep open the agencies most Americans believe essential vs what the President musk & Trump believe to be essential? I mean, isn’t a shutdown of the government what they actually want? Isn’t that what Trump wanted the republicans to do in his first term?

A handful of multimillionaire Republicans in Congress are rewriting tax laws that could personally make them millions. If their plan succeeds, they and their wealthy donors will walk away with staggering tax cuts, while we are left with higher deficits, gutted public services, and a rigged economy.

Scientists say EPA just needs to look around the world to see the growing dangers of climate change As President Donald Trump's administration looks to reverse a cornerstone finding that climate change endangers human health and welfare, scientists say they just need to look around because it's…

“There is no possible world in which greenhouse gases are not a threat to public health,” said Brown University climate scientist Kim Cobb.

The last measles death was a decade ago. That makes it unusual in my book. Republican Senator Bill Cassidy had assurances RFK would not change vaccination policy but RFK cancelled the flu vacc meeting for next year prevention. RFK Jr lied. Call Cassidy and ask what he will do about it!

February 27, 2025 Yesterday an unvaccinated child in Texas died of measles as nearly 140 people in Texas and New Mexico have been reported ill with the disease.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

New EO (link below) orders HHS to terminate the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Long COVID (section 2iv). Share widely on all platforms. This is a perfect example of how this administration does not care about Americans. If this is efficiency, then what IS Trump's plan for people with Long COVID?

Donald Trump Is No Warrior for Free Speech And his executive order on free speech isn’t what it claims to be.

"The idea that the second Trump administration will usher in a new golden age for free speech in America is as bizarre as the idea that Biden’s America was a dreary intellectual gulag." ICYMI @cathyyoung63.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...
