Measles is surging, and the guy in charge of public health is RFK Jr.—an anti-vaxxer. Meanwhile, Trump is gutting the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Watch and share this. Know the symptoms. Because the people who should be protecting and informing us just got fired. (Video 🧵)

The Musk Ad The Wash Post Refused To Run Today #ABlueView🧵1/3 "Washington Post refuses to run $115K ad titled ‘Fire Elon Musk" tinyurl.com/yrmhbmf9 It would be a shame if you reposted this as more people will see the ad. And your Senators don't want to hear from you either!

Please participate to send Republicans a strong message…

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

My mood…

A week ago Trump³⁴ bragged that he'd restored excellence & safety in the FAA Today, Trump³⁴ blamed Obama, Biden, Buttigieg, Air Traffic Controllers, the Army helicopter pilot, American Airlines, FAA, the woman who runs NTSB & others for the plane crash on the Potomac

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Let’s sort this out now: Anyone who attacks DEI as a bad thing is a racist who just won’t say it out loud. Period.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

A real leader’s response

Trump rolled back the effort to lower Medicare, Medicaid drug costs. Trump’s Make Drug Prices High Again executive order rescinded the Biden-Harris order to lower drug costs — to cap the copayment for generic medications at $2 for Medicare beneficiaries. www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/tr...

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

“For my next attention seeking trick, I will have you concentrate on Greenland, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Panama Canal—instead of my absurdly unqualified cabinet picks or that I have no real plans to fix the border or bring down food prices. Look, America, a rabbit!”

True 😂😂

WOW. NBC News is reporting that more than half of the Republican Senate caucus privately admits that the Gaetz nomination will not succeed. Repost if you think they should make their concerns public.

Is anyone reading the newest Louise Penny Gamache book? It’s good, but having read all her previous ones in the series, I find I’m tiring of them.
