HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

Guns are the number one killer of kids in this country. But right now, in many states, a teenager can buy an assault-style weapon. I'm a cosponsor of the Age 21 Act to prohibit the sale or possession of assault-style weapons to those under 21. It's just common sense.

Nice thing about this cabinet is that it’s a cure for imposter syndrome. If you ever think “I’m not qualified to do that” there’s always someone say, running public health, who’s even less qualified.

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers. This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

These four orders — banning asylum at the border, shuttering refugee resettlement, ending birthright citizenship, and designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations — show that Trump is advancing an even more extreme agenda than his allies like Project 2025 called for during the campaign.

1. Let's be clear A central premise of the Trump admin is there is pervasive discrimination against hard-working white men, who are being replaced by less-qualified women and minorities So over the last 2 weeks Trump has implemented an aggressive affirmative action program for white men

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
