The MAHA Report also says, “Despite the growth of the childhood vaccine schedule, there has been limited scientific inquiry into the links between vaccines and chronic disease…” Oh, really, fellas? My cursory search on the government’s own website returned 20,771 papers on the topic.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

In 2012, Kansas pushed through massive tax cuts for the rich, promising a "trickle down effect". Spoiler: it didn't work. Revenues collapsed. Education got crushed. Economic growth slowed. The state’s credit rating got downgraded. Twice. Trickle-down economics is a fantasy with a body count.
