Now that we know the TACO thing bugs the fuck out of Trump, a coherent left media machine would swing into action & make sure that every single left-of-center person on a TV shore or podcast used that term repeatedly for the next several weeks, making it inescapable.

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.

Genuinely glad Russell Vought’s daughter got the NIH-backed medicine she needed. ❤️‍🩹 Now he’s trying to defund the very programs that made it possible—for everyone else. 🙃💉 Life-saving science for me, austerity for thee. Cool plan, Volde-Vought.

Because of Trump's dismantling of USAID, 60,000 metric tons of food that were bound to serve the poorest kids on earth are now on the brink of rotting in America. Our anti-hunger groups are ready to spring into action. What say you, Mr. President?
