Koehler highlights bill to boost vaccine transparency SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Dave Koehler today advanced House Bill 767, legislation designed to put clear, expert vaccine guidance at the center of Illinois’ public health response.“Families deserve s...

Illinois is essentially ending the power RFK Jr. has over state vaccine policy.

They’ve passed a bill through the state legislature to give their state vaccine advisory committee more power, and to require insurance to cover vaccines that the state committee recommends, not ACIP.

Oh man same!! 🎯

Someone said,

“The more you love yourself, the more you detach from things/ppl that don’t love you”

And I felt that way down deep in my innards!!!!

New WaPo/ABC poll:

45% of Americans blame Trump and congressional Republicans for the shutdown. 33% blame Democrats.

By a 2-to-1 margin, Independents blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats: 46% to 23%.

Anyone who murders people on the open seas in public will murder them in private for their sadistic pleasure.

If you live in a state with a large rural population, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider investigating which areas in your region are food deserts & consider possibly giving to food banks that serve them. Rural food deserts are going to be the regions worst hit by the SNAP cutoff. Absolutely devastating.

And here comes the depression

The Federal Government has taken our taxes, has taken away Government services we've paid for and now they're taking SNAP away to make people compliant. We're in a full blown Autocracy.

I want to thank and honour the person who harvested the potatoes I ate for breakfast, for using their bodies in exchange for very little money. May they be blessed abundantly.

Christ almighty her immense ignorance. With all that money she should go to science school.

It was so clear. What mourning widow wears painted on black leather pants and hugs a man with an embrace on his head clenching his hair?

THEY GOT NOTHING!!!
Patel is an embarrassment!

A government office worker who helps seniors and the disabled with social security benefits shared her emotional response to the government shutdown. Essential government workers like her haven't been paid in four weeks. The pressure of it all has led to panic attacks: "We don't deserve this."

You made my day, Sherry. Having a rough one 🥹 💔

BREAKING: A *separate* federal court in Rhode Island just ordered the Trump admin to pay for SNAP benefits during the shutdown — saying the government "must distribute" aid using emergency funds and that the benefits should be paid as soon as possible.

Happy Halloween!!

Virginia Giuffre & Jeffrey Epstein were both in a position to bring down & perhaps send to jail some very wealthy powerful men.

My mind can't stop thinking whether any of the guilty were powerful enough to make murder look like suicide.
