CDC now says all kids "may receive" COVID vaccines. This means insurance companies will likely still cover the shots. BUT the new guidance is more confusing than a broad recommendation, and COVID vaccines during pregnancy are now listed as "No Guidance/Not Applicable," which will decrease uptake.

Democrats seem at a loss for a punchy message that easily conveys how horrible Trump has been. How about "So far, Donald Trump has killed 300,000 people, mostly children, just so billionaires can pay less taxes"?

Since taking office, Trump has been pushing voting restrictions, gutting election security and stacking agencies with loyalists. Experts warn it’s not just about winning—it’s about entrenching power and weakening U.S. democracy from the inside. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

It’s an import tax assessed on the importing company. The exporting company and its home country pay nothing. We have to keep repeating this truth to counteract the lies of Trump and his allies and apologists.

Tapper’s gone MAGA. Or he’s come out of the political closet and confirmed his true self. Now we know the hit job on Biden was just the beginning.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Lutnick on Fox News tonight claimed Trump has "$10 trillion coming to build factories in America." (The entire GDP of the US is under $28 trillion, so this is as ridiculous of a lie as you'll ever hear)

ICE agents making arrests while masked— no warrants. This is about basic civil rights. What are our protections? Who’s accountable? Congress must act. Hold hearings—sanctioned or not. ☎️ Call your Senators and Representatives NOW: (202) 224-3121 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

18 months before a midterm election all the data tells him he and his party will lose, Donald Trump is moving as many FBI agents as he can away from roles in which they detect and stop Espionage and election interference by Russia and China—covert actions historically taken to help Trump politically

Trump is nominating Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia has ties to multiple antisemitic extremists. He called for X to remove a ban on Nick Fuentes and was spotted at a Fuentes rally, and also appeared at events with an alleged Nazi sympathizer.

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

RFK Jr. has bragged his “Make America Healthy Again” report, released last week, is based on “gold-standard” science: In reality, its citations are error-ridden, with missing links, incorrect conclusions, and sometimes even made-up studies. https://trib.al/LGReJZs

The Trump regime canceled Moderna’s contract to develop a bird flu vaccine, saying it “was not scientifically or ethically justifiable”. This is not just a RFK Jr anti-vax crusade. This entire regime does not care about human life. These fascists are content with mass death.

REMINDER: Republicans are scheming to pass the largest Medicaid cut in history AND the largest tax cut for the wealthy in history. They chose billionaire CEOs over working-class families.
