I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. RFK Jr leading HHS is a disgrace.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s political purge of the Department of Education is a gross betrayal of American students. It is also illegal: Trump is plainly trying to eliminate by fiat a department established in law by Congress. 1/

Eliminating the Department of Education will lead to gutting funds from special education to financial aid for college. They are literally stealing from children to pay for tax cuts for Donald Trump’s friends.

2 measles deaths in the US now. Measles cases popping up all over the country. Utah banned fluoride today—though 75 years of data show it prevents tooth decay. RFK Jr is touting cod liver oil and “nutrition” as cures for the most contagious human disease. 1/

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security. What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices. Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

Measles is caused by a virus. There are no antivirals for illness. Treatment is symptom management & supportive care. Treatment is NOT: • antibiotics (it’s a virus) • unproven wellness products • cod liver oil, “nutrition hacks,” or supplements. We can prevent measles: with the MMR vaccine.

A lucky trader just happened to put in a $200m trade with 50x leverage a few hours before a Trump pro-crypto announcement. The price of crypto jumped and this person made hundreds of millions. Pure luck I’m sure.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.
