It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

I want to emphasize that this is 18,000 avoidable deaths per year *of Medicare enrollees.* They aren't in CBO's "uninsured" count — they're older people and folks with disabilities on Medicare who won't get extra financial help because of a proposed moratorium on a regulation.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Democrats ran three older people with cancer knowing they had cancer, they died within months of being sworn in, and that helped clear the way for Republicans to starve kids across the country. I cannot begin to tell you how much I hate it here.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Crimson update on detained Harvard researcher What is missing is that her HARVARD BOSS told her to bring these items into the country (see Guardian piece) Harvard owns this & should be doing the work of defending her www.thecrimson.com/article/2025... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The gotcha actually comes a bit later in the clip where Alsobrooks notes that it’s not part of ACF but rather is part of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which is part of NlH and is NAMED AFTER RFK JR.’S AUNT

There has to be a truth and reconciliation type process on the other side of this to hold these people accountable in large numbers and the fact that I simply do not believe this country can do that is why I am so pessimistic. No one will be punished and we will pause and do it again.

Again. They deported an American child with cancer AGAIN.

The keyword here is "injuries". That's anti-vax language. They talk about these conditions not as genetic, congenital or with complex causes. No, they're like a broken leg. They're injuries, totally avoidable. They're something that Big Pharma and Bill Gates or whoever *did* to us, to hurt us.

The lack of universal healthcare in the US paved the way for so many “wellness” charlatans - when it’s hard or prohibitively expensive to access evidence based care, people will attempt to treat things in their own or believe those providing the care are getting rich off of their illness

“Deported. Re-educated. Erased. Russia has stolen up to 200,000 children from Ukraine. Estonia has felt the pain of deportations. If war crimes go unpunished, they repeat. We must make sure that Russia will not get away this time.” - Kristen Michal, Prime Minister of Estonia
