People who design & study vaccines are wondering why the #NIH is sinking half a billion dollars into trying to develop a platform for universal flu & covid vaccines using a decades-old production approach. “There is incredible work going on. This is not it." www.statnews.com/2025/05/03/n...

pass it on

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

What say you? 👇 Mad yet?!

Pete Hegseth has got to go. Who agrees? actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

💙💙💙💙

Still trying to make figure out what happened in the #HHS universe yesterday? At @statnews.com, we were pedal to the metal rooting out who was being fired and what the potential impacts of this mass and chaotic restructuring of #CDC, #FDA, & #NIH will be. Find our stories here: www.statnews.com

Another giant Sicko.

Many law firms representing federal employees have come under attack. The legal community is pushing back. More than 4,000 legal professionals have signed an open letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, expressing concern over the administration’s actions against law firms.

Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) tells a fired federal worker that "you probably deserved it" because "you seem like a clown" www.instagram.com/p/DH6TJMKJb7G/

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

Way to go Wisconsin! ✊🇺🇸💚

Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Just attended a WHO workshop on chronic respiratory illnesses in Mexico City and wow there’s so much I didn’t know. For instance, 1000 people die a day globally of asthma. 🧵

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

I was elected in 2010 with Kristie Noem. She used to be kind, compassionate, and put her faith above any personal gain. She like so many others, is now broken

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Well, Donald, in just three months, you’ve turned your nation into a spectacle of disgrace. You think Canada is the nastiest country you’ve ever dealt with, yet you kiss up to Vladimir Putin, a war criminal...

Pete Hegseth has taken his wife to meetings including classified information. He is a proven national security risk and needs to go forthwith before he can endanger other American lives. Same thing for that creepy Tulsi Gabbard.

merit is back baby

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

“‘It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,’ Dr. Peter Marks wrote in a resignation letter referring to HHS Secretary RFK Jr.”

In his (forced) resignation letter, the #FDA's former chief vaccine regulator Peter Marks pulls no punches. He tried to work with Robert Kennedy to assuage his concerns about vaccine safety. That's not what the HHS secretary is looking for, Marks concluded. www.statnews.com/2025/03/28/f...

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

FIRE PETE HEGSETH!

The guy who campaigned on lowering prices on day one now says he hopes prices go up Congrats, America www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

Getting a taste of their own medicine.

This must go VIRAL! Start now!!!

James Malone just flipped a Pennsylvania State Senate district that went for Trump by 15 points last year. This is what building Democratic power looks like. Congratulations, Senator-elect Malone!

Gomez on Hegseth: "He stood in front of a podium in Europe holding a drink! So of course we want to know if his performance is compromised. If your people were asking if General Austin was compromised because of a heart issue ... this is serious."

Actually I think the first rule is to lie. Every chance you get.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Hey Greenland, why are you letting Americas planes land there? Why don’t you deny Usha Vance and the crew landing clearance? Fight back now or don’t be shocked when you can’t

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history. Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

Though I didn't have sheep on my #H5N1 #birdflu bingo card, by this point nothing should surprise me or us about this tricky, tricky virus. The UK has found an infected sheep. Where there's one, there certainly could be more. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

Something special is happening! Bless these people!

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

yeah well we’re fed up with funding red states like yours but that’s how federal systems work, you absolute casserole
