RFK Jr justifies firing scientists on the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee due to “conflicts of interest.” Yet RFK Jr made almost $100K a year from anti-vax lawsuits and almost $90K a month from his anti-vax nonprofit. The person with the biggest conflict of interest at HHS is the one leading it.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It seemed like nearly every day of the first 100 days of the Trump administration brought another attack on FEMA. UCS’s Shana Udvardy offers a rundown of some of the administration’s worst attacks on the agency, which was created to help communities prepare for and withstand catastrophic disasters.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia. He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine. Hmmm

Welcome news. Vouchers only tear at the fabric of public education, and are bad news for schools. According to the judge, the voucher program violates Article X and Article XIII of the Utah Constitution.

The 4/19 protest was strong in Jefferson City, Missouri, too! All the signs, many US flags, everyone shouting all the messages and marching around downtown back to the Capitol steps. Way to go, patriots! Keep up the pressure for democracy, the US Constitution, rule of law, checks and balances, USA!

Good on @piperformissouri.bsky.social Jess Piper, Missouri! U.S. Senators (R-MO), Hawley and Schmitt, will not show up to hold town halls. Nor will U.S. Rep. Alford, 4th District (R-MO). So each weekend we're letting them know what we want in front of their local offices.

NO tax cuts for the richest! What is the impact of deficit-funded tax cuts on the rest of us, to the economy, & long-term U.S. debt? This is what all actual journalists & news organizations should be asking. Because the GOP knows. They make this play every time. No falling for it. Ask the question.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Raise your hand. All U.S. elected should declare all assets before running for election. Upon being elected al assets should go into a blind trust for the duration of their time in office. NO more insider trading.

What about the small businesses crushed by the tariffs, incl. enormous one still imposed on China? NO to destroying small businesses - so the richest can buy up everything for pennies on the dollar. Yes to more economic policies that benefit individuals who actually work for a living. @aflcio.org

Important: People who struggle with diagnosed and undiagnosed mental illnesses are NOT all raging racial, religious, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation bigots! Those who display bigotry and hate do so because they are filled with bigoted views and hate towards others. No more excusing hate.

Secretary Noem has had plenty of time for cowboy cosplay and prison photo ops in El Salvador—but not to answer my basic questions about ICE detentions and deportations. Who’s being held? Why? Where is ANY shred of due process? This isn’t tough-on-crime. It’s lawless, cowardly, and un-American.

Republicans pulled their budget vote—surprise! They’re too busy fighting each other to govern. They might be split on the math, but they agree on this: cutting services for working families & rewarding billionaires. This ain’t a budget—it’s a blueprint to rob the people.

Re the Supreme Court temporarily blocking a lower-court order that would have forced the Trump administration to rehire 16,000 probationary federal workers who were fired. The decision is narrow and not final - justices said the block will stay in place as case continues.

Cutting staff and Social Security is a way to cut access to benefits, a de facto cut in benefits. These are benefits that all people in the U.S. pay for during their working lives - and to which they are entitled by law. It is their money. It is our money. REINSTATE SOC SEC STAFF NOW!

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
