I agree!

Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

Louisiana’s worst whooping cough outbreak in decades: 387 cases, 2 infant deaths.

After Surgeon General Ralph Abraham paused vaccine promotion, cases surged and the public was left in the dark.

Antivaxx politics cost lives.

Air traffic controllers better get paid before Thanksgiving. What a way to run the country! www.cnn.com/2025/10/27/u...

This is an outrage!!!

The destruction of the US public health system is devastating.

How about they pay the air traffic controllers instead?

Perfect for No Kings Day

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Data from 2023. The good ‘ol days. 🤦‍♂️
Measles and pertussis are already on the rise.
Sadly we won’t see these numbers ever again, except for maybe SP, unless it escapes some lab freezer or closet (remember that one?).

Good news!

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

So much for MAHA.

Reincarnation?

Whatever the Democrats are accused of doing, it’s typically the Republicans that are doing it. It’s all projection.

Good news!

Thank you for posting!

The right is awfully quiet about Tyler Robinson.

Come on, guys! What happened to “It’s time for war”? Kind of a rough call when he’s one of your own, isn’t it?

Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman remembered as funny, savvy and 'a true leader' Friends and colleagues remembered her as grounded, kind and compassionate.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.

Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Powerful message!
