Trump’s move to halt an initiative to restore abundant salmon runs drew condemnation. “The Administration’s decision to terminate these commitments echoes the federal government’s historic pattern of broken promises to tribes,” a tribe member said. With @opb.org‬

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.' But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

We can't let this story die. This is seriously crazy.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Why are we so concerned that all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) were fired at the same time? ✅ Loss of top-notch vaccine experts ✅ Unchecked power for 🧠🪱 to appoint grifters and charlatans who will make America sicker

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks. The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful bill” that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations. And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL. It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

Yikes

If the Trump administration has its way There will no longer be any sacred places No beauty that cannot be tarnished Wildlife that can’t be destroyed Or nature that will remain pristine And the worst part is Nobody even knows if we will be able to undo the damage they cause

"Reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service..." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o...

Sooooooo. Donald Trump gave Peter Thiel and Palantir a massive contract for mass surveillance of all of us with our data that Elon Musk stole with DOGE? And all those “big brother” screeching MAGA folks are rolling over and taking it? 🙄

Yes.

One passed laws for your kids. The other passed his hat for your cash.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Ya think? What gave it away? 🤷🏼

All this talk of 🌮...

It’s always “two weeks”

Ingenious 😂 FFS

The federal government is trying to skirt peer review in order to put out false information and propaganda. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Heroin soaked brain worm guy is trying to kill us all. By taking away vaccines from a large segment of the population, he risks everyone else with disease or death. I’m so fed up with this administration & anti-vax conspiracy nut bars. ⬇️ #ProudBlue #OneV1 www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

KOH on the Trump Pardon: "This guy was supposed to be paying Social Security and Medicare taxes for his employees and instead bought a $2 million yacht."

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Not a coincidence.

Border czar Tom Homan, captain of the "zero tolerance" policy that split migrant parents from their kids, was paid money by the private-prison company that profits off detaining immigrants. Drain the swamp www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... @douglasmac.bsky.social @aaronschaffer.com

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

‼️ ATTENTION SENIORS REPUBLICANS are gonna CUT $500 billion from MEDICARE Yup, Republicans' "Big Bill" has a hidden poison pill in it that triggers half a trillion dollars in CUTS TO MEDICARE Call your Representative and Senators and demand they remove the Medicare poison pill (202) 224-3121 1/2

Science is an economic driver in Hamilton, Mont., thanks to Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a federal research lab. Now, layoffs and funding cuts are having an impact in this town far from Washington.

RFK Jr’s FDA head says diabetics should get a recipe book instead of insulin. 🙄

How mass deportations are going to make the prices of construction go up by a LOT. youtube.com/shorts/ul_Ri...

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" cuts Medicaid. Cuts to health care for babies and new moms. Cuts to heath care for seniors in nursing homes. Cuts to health care for rural hospitals. Cuts to health care for people with disabilities. Republicans in Congress approved these cuts.

This hits hard.

Unhuh WWJD?

If I’m a foreign government right now—the one lesson that I’ve learned at this point is that there is no durable agreement to be made with this administration. Any assurance, policy, or deal will be arbitrarily annulled by a random 3 am post. No point in expending energy negotiating with this.

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country
