um okay? Appreciate the candor?

lol just a few days there were reports abt how they were fighting because Trump wanted something too huge and too tasteless.

Childhood vaccination rates were falling before Trump took office.

But RFK Jr.'s latest attacks on vaccines will make new outbreaks of old diseases even more deadly.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We do not want to go back to that era.

Cassidy continues to pay lip service to the public health catastrophe he created with his cowardice.

Putin's war in Ukraine shows where authoritarianism can lead: ~1.4 million casualties. An entire generation sacrificed for one man's imperialist delusions.

We must not let any president drag us into war without congressional approval.
