In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

submitted 6 days ago • 2403 comments

Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees. Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"? Elon Musk, of course. The billionaire grift continues. https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.

A huge chunk of these cuts would be to Medicaid, hurting the poorest of the poor. Many red state / MAGA voters depend entirely on this money. The messaging begins NOW to let them know that Trump and the GOP are coming for their healthcare.

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.' A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia. Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.

“Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Abolish bank regulators. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Musk-Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
