(1/3) 😡 Lyn Redwood—a former leader of RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine propaganda machine, Children’s Health Defense—is set to present at the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee this week. She has a blatant conflict of interest and a history of spreading debunked lies about vaccines.

Break it, unbreak it, claim victory. Every time.

This is good and important www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

He’s TACOing on his TACO.

You want to talk about government efficiency? Every $1 spent on childhood immunizations in the US returns a savings of $11, thanks to preventing illnesses, and saving millions of lives.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

The cowardice of the Congressional GOP to not put guardrails on the lunatic in the Oval Office - as they are required to by oath - is overwhelming at times.

🧵 1/2 Breaking: This is NOT good. When brilliant, experienced scientists feel they can no longer do their jobs—it’s a warning siren 🚨 RFK Jr. is undermining science and endangering lives. Call your reps—especially Republicans. 🧠🪱 has got to go. 🧵 www.reuters.com/business/hea...

FOX: The Committee for a Responsible Budget came out today and said it will add $15 trillion to the debt THUNE: This will reduce the deficit, not increase it

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Schoohouse Rock! taught me America was based on self-governance. “They knew the time had come for them to take command. It's very clear you're being unfair, King, No matter what you say, we won't obey. Gonna hold a revolution now, King, And we're gonna run it all our way With NO MORE KINGS...”

ASH has submitted testimony to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor-HHS, advocating for strong federal support for NIH, CDC, and programs critical to patients with blood disorders. Read the full testimony: www.hematology.org/-...

To mobilize the National Guard, Trump cited 10 U.S.C. 12406, which authorizes the president to do so when the U.S. faces foreign invasion or rebellion or when he cannot otherwise execute the laws. This is NOT such an occasion. So today’s coup is manifestly illegal and must be stopped judicially.

Things could get very ugly very quickly. And folks like Senator Cassidy, who allowed this to happen, have a unique responsibility to try and stop it—if that’s even possible at this juncture.

Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state. Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's *almost* as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.

Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.

That’s not what the military is supposed to do. That’s called a military coup.

SPOUTING THE TRUMP LINE, RIGHT OFF OF FOX NEWS. SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IS A LIAR 'That's a Lie!' Mike Johnson shouted down by lawmakers after remarks on Padilla www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson...

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Senator Booker: Senator Alex Padilla was fulfilling his Congressional oversight duties when he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is no isolated instance; this is a pattern of behavior by the Trump administration. There is simply no justification for this abuse of authority.

Alex Padilla is an American citizen of Mexican descent. The video of a Mexican-American being manhandled by thugs will play extremely well with the sort of trash who support Trump. Decent people are outraged. Shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture are thrilled.

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”
