Dozens of free measles vaccine clinics close in Texas as federal funding is cut Many clinics had been planned at schools in the Dallas area with low vaccination rates.

This is what Trump and Musk are doing during a measles outbreak. 

Today, 10,000 staffers were fired at CDC—including measles and bird flu experts—while dozens of free vaccination clinics were canceled in Texas.

These billionaires don’t seem to care that children will die from their cruel cuts.

Three-quarters of US scientists are considering leaving thanks to DOGE cuts: poll Scientists are considering moving abroad amid major funding cuts from the Trump administration

Fuck MAGA.

Trump loves a villain. Even when they're totally made-up. 

Because he loves to say he's the only one who can fix it. 

But he's got it all wrong. 

The villains are the corrupt elites who’ve had too much power for far too long. 

And the hero is the American people.

Ok folks, are we there yet? When do we remove him by force? How long are we going to fucking wait?

Why Is CNN Platforming Notorious Anti-Vaxxer Bill Maher? In a desperate play for relevance, the flailing cable news network gave the neo-luddite comic a primetime slot. That’s a mistake for “the most trusted name in news.”

A reminder that Bill Maher has long been an antivaxxer and AIDS denier and helped mainstream the “do your own research” culture now dismantling public health.

He is also a good friend of RFK Jr.

It’s time for the media to stop giving him a platform.

You are not entitled to your own facts.

Trump doesn’t care what laws you break as long as you pledge fealty to him.

We saw it with pardoning Jan 6th cop-killers.

We’re seeing it again now, even after Hegseth put our troops in danger and threatened our national security.

I don't know what other conclusion there is.

I served two combat tours in Iraq. I know how these operations are supposed to go.

Top takeaways: 

1) Hegseth definitively exposed CLASSIFIED war plans.

2) Hegseth must resign. IMMEDIATELY.

3) This is a cover-up at the highest levels of government.

Let me explain. 

🧵

This leak of classified information — and yes, it is DEFINITIONALLY classified — put the lives of countless American servicemembers at risk.

The President can deny it all he wants, but we WILL hold those responsible accountable.

I served two combat tours in Iraq as an Army Intelligence Officer.

If I did what Hegseth did, I'd be in prison.

All eyes should now be on FBI Director Kash Patel.

Beyond pure corruption, I cannot think of a single reason for him not to launch an investigation ASAP.

We’d rather have research funding for mRNA vaccines that can combat pancreatic cancer and pandemic influenza, k thanks. Keep your conspiracies out of public health.

History Doesn't Remember the Silent Kindly Speak now. Or forever hold your peace.

History Doesn't Remember the Silent Kindly

And, when does apathetic “I need to get on with my life” silence become silent complicity? Definitely reposting this.

YouTube video by MSNBC Who is DOGE's muscle as they force their way through federal offices?

This is truly fucking scary people. A chill literally went up my spine watching this. How much longer are we going to let this shit go on before we drag that orange fucker out by what’s left of his hair?!!! What the actual fuck?????

Opinion | Trump is punishing South Africa for trying to move past apartheid The president’s offer for white farmers to leave post-apartheid South Africa and gain U.S. citizenship says a lot about how he views America.

Trump is a fucking racist piece of shit. Happy Saturday.

Wondering where you were. Happy Saturday back at you, Sunshine. Will share this.

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.

I don’t ever want to hear “thank you for your service” from that draft-dodging coward again.

We already lost 20 inpatient beds for mental health and detox at my local VA.

The real-world impacts of this on our nation’s heroes cannot be understated.

Yet a clear win for Zelensky, who had to sit there while those two berated him as if he were a child.
