It appears Sec. Kennedy is getting ready to over-ride vaccine policy experts & scrub Covid shot recommendations for children, teens & pregnant people. Having a HHS secretary reset vaccine policy without hearings or expert advice is unprecedented, experts tell STAT. www.statnews.com/2025/05/15/c...

Busting up big corporations. Tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

A day after Russia committed war crimes in Ukraine, and Trump is again attacking Zelenskyy – sounding indistinguishable from a commentator on Russian state TV. And repeating the Kremlin lie that Ukraine started this war. Trump casts shame on himself and our country.

It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.

Oh wow, this is very interesting. The vaccine created triggers a response against the particular type of sugars that cloak multiple viruses and other microbes. Hope it can be replicated and doesn't impact other sugars.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Excellent comment on Cochrane #MECFS exercise review by @hildabast.bsky.social and IAG: the review's recommendations are "outdated and misleading" & the review's editorial note needs to explicitly state that. But better still, Cochrane needs to withdraw this flawed review completely.

ICYMI: DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS. The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country. We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.
