RFK Jr wants the US to focus on chronic, not infectious, diseases. But we already did. 50 years ago. It's called the "epidemiologic transition" and spolier alert: It's not going so well! Read more here: open.substack.com/pub/epiellie...

It’s not just unqualified nepo babies who want to grift off antivaxx lies. This fraud is an MD. Without the measles vaccine, 1,000 Americans (mostly children) would die every year from measles & 8,000 Americans would get measles encephalitis every year. Ivermectin does not treat viral infections.

Not even six hours apart.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

• Cutting Medicare & Medicaid won’t improve health or “address chronic disease • Neither will defunding schools with vaccine requirements. • Or allowing preventable diseases to spread. 1/

Right, because the biggest issue folks on Medicaid have is dietary choice. Not housing, substance use, domestic violence, or mental health.

I guess I must be a sick person because I only have one dream right now too. #rfkjr

God bless

Elon Musk, WH Press Secretary, & Fox claimed that Trump had to freeze grants and govt funding because Biden supposedly sent $50 million in condoms to Gaza. Another lie in a firehose of daily lies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

As our editor-in-chief said back in November: Our job is to give readers an independent, verifiable account of what’s happening, even if the president is calling us enemies of the people or bloodsuckers. At ProPublica, our mantra is that we bring the receipts to every story we publish:

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” @governorwalz.mn.gov We told you. We told you. We told you.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

Holocaust Remembrance Day. (January 27)

He was half asleep through the sermon. People told him it was about mercy and compassion, and now he's mad about it.

More than two months after Missouri residents voted to add abortion rights into their state constitution and overturn the state’s ban on the procedure, abortions have not yet resumed in Missouri – and it’s not clear when they will, according to a key Planned Parenthood official in the region.

An entire lineage of influenza B viruses literally went extinct due to COVID mitigation measures and people will still say “masks don’t work”

Trump has rescinded Biden’s Executive Order 14087, “Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans,” which included things like lowering state Medicaid costs for the most expensive therapeutics, reducing Medicare payments for proven drugs, and creating a flat, $2 Medicare copay for generic drugs

Your vaccination also protects the lives of babies under 1 who cannot be fully immunized. 10% of adults in NZ’s outbreak vs 2/3 of babies have had to be hospitalized. Pertussis can make small children stop breathing and even a “mild” case in an adult can mean months of coughing so severe ribs break

A Message to Merrick Garland...

Musk: Does a Nazi salute, twice Neo-Nazis: Those were Nazi salutes! Holocaust Scholars: Those were definitely Nazi salutes! Literally Everyone Who Saw It: WTF those were Nazi salutes! ADL: What awkward gestures.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyways the real antisemitism is believing Palestinians should have a State

Bernie Sanders is undefeated in inauguration shade.

Hi, I’m God. I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

I see that Melania chose to wear her Hamburglar hat to honor the criminals in the nation--and next to her.

“We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the pressing urgencies of the great cause of freedom…..a time like this demands great leaders.” —MLK Jr.

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property. With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger. That’s why I’m posting it today.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

Trans and non-binary people are valid. Their identities are real, their experiences matter, and their existence is not up for debate. Everyone deserves respect, dignity, and the freedom to be who they are without fear or discrimination.

‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

I'm thrilled to announce that I've been named a House Democratic Deputy Whip for Policy by @whipkclark.bsky.social.

Welcome to Project 2025.

“We will make MLK’s dream come true” while there are zero black people in the room who don’t have to be there

Oh so this is why Zuck pulled the factcheckers. For the inauguration speech.

He looks like a lizard left too long under the basking lights.

Julia Ward Howe is puking somewhere in the afterlife.

Brett Kavanaugh administering the oath of office basically annuls everything.

Bro are you afraid to touch a woman?? Why did the Cardinal not shake Amy Klobuchar’s hand?

Baron Trump does not appear to understand how prayer works?

*waiting for the cross to go up in 🔥 due to proximity*

Amy bringing the HEAT!! Trump falling asleep.

Not the air kiss that missed to Melania 💀

The only thing making Vance look less awkward is Elon Trump with the fam.
