It’s been a week since the MAHA EO was released. We haven’t covered it yet because there’s so much pseudoscience, biased statistics, and questionable content we needed time to wrap our head around it. Our criticism is twofold: data that are false/misleading, and policy driven by misinformation. 🧵

The Make American Healthy Again EO says our kids’ health is in crisis. It’s not (although without vaccines it will be). Yes, there have been relative increases in some diagnoses (like autism and obesity) and our food needs reform. But that doesn’t mean we should stop making meds available to people.

Today is EO9066 Day of Remembrance. 🇺🇸 This EO ordered the incarceration of Japanese residents. They were citizens and immigrants denied citizenship due to racist laws. Their stories are more important than ever. Take some time to listen to their stories.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk used the word “fraud” or “fraudster” combined about a dozen times during their Feb. 11 Oval Office question-and-answer session. So far, neither Musk nor the Trump White House has shown evidence of criminal activity. (via @politifact.bsky.social)

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality, Republicans in Congress just introduced a budget to provide trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy, paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid that will throw millions of kids off health care & seniors out of nursing homes. Unacceptable.

Seeing Elon address the public from the Oval Office while Trump sits at the desk like a obedient dog just confirms my belief that Elon stole the election and now Trump is forever beholden to him.

In one of Elon’s outcries about fraud, he actually ended up cutting funding for cancer research. Despite initially denying it, he was later proven wrong. This incident highlights how little he actually understands about what he’s doing.

Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
