We love you all!

Four CDC buildings shot up. Employees under lockdown and in fear for hours. Public health is physically under attack, and the silence from the administration is deafening.

Work on mRNA therapies was surging. Now Kennedy has rocked the field Companies in a burgeoning field of mRNA therapeutics express shock at HHS' deep cuts to research funding.

This isn’t just short sighted, it’s stupid!

The mRNA vaccine platform has already been assessed across diverse clinical indications, many with remarkable progress:
—cancer neoantigen vaccines [in patients with refractory disease (e.g. pancreatic)]
—more than 15 infectious diseases
—autoimmune diseases
—rare disease for genome editing

RFK Jr. casually tells Roseanne the most unhinged roadkill tale of all time:

"I put the dead bear in my van... then we dropped it in Central Park." 😳

Keep her in prison!

Can you imagine?

This one is hilarious!

Love this one!

Stupidity and cruelty at their best!

"Bringing home [Ukrainian children taken to Russia] is not a political act. It’s not procedural work. It is a moral duty. It is giving children their names, their language, their mothers, and their truths." — Ukrainian Iryna Borbol

An important question: Are MAGA Republicans in the Senate 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 going to confirm principal associate deputy AG Emil Bove to a judgeship without finding out if he played any role in, or knows anything about, DOJ’s withholding of the Epstein files?

I don’t think their voters will like that.

Some men grab . . . power.

Some women write it down and sell it in hardcover.

It’s a terrible time for the House to pass what The Building Trades called “the biggest job-killing bill in the history of this country.”

Georgia House Republicans face a choice:

Will they choose partisan politics or Georgia jobs?

42,000 Georgia jobs are on the line.

I hope they’ll put Georgians first.

2 million died in the cambodian genocide. this is 7 times that. the scale of death here is simply staggering.

What a stupid waste of time!

Hope so!

So far today, Republicans in Washington have voted down amendments that would:

1) Save rural hospitals
2) Stop health insurance premium hikes
3) Stop Medicaid cuts

If they were serious about protecting health care, why didn't they vote yes on these simple amendments?

'Where's our money?' CDC grant funding is moving so slowly layoffs are happening The state and local health departments that rely on CDC funding say the money is not coming in on time and no one can tell them why. Some are laying off staff.

1/4 📢 CDC funding for 2025 is months late, leaving health depts stranded. CDC leaders told NPR the delay appears intentional - “a deliberate effort to grind us to a halt.” We are not surprised 😡. This is a public health emergency manufactured by HHS.

Immoral.

The GOP tax bill will rip health care away from children in order to give the rich another tax cut. Rest assured, I will do everything I can to stop this.

A single shot of a flu drug could outperform vaccines—and protect for an entire season One injection of a long-lasting drug showed up to 76% efficacy in a large trial
