Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Hopefully this judgement will be honored by the Trump administration and aid will begin to flow again. It's worth repeating: The President of the U.S. does not decide where or how our tax money is spent. That is Congress's job. That's why Trump keeps losing in court. apnews.com/article/usai...

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

1. Yes, it’s a coup. 2. Doge is not a thing. The president is not legally allowed to create a department without congressional authorization. 3. Musk closes agencies investigating his companies. Chart by Malika Khurana of the NYT, and go find the article by Bryan Metzger of Business Insider

Some good trouble for today. Call ALL of Mike Johnson’s offices and ask if Musk and Thiel have gone too far? Will the HF be left out of the coup?😭 Go find and read these articles for context. Also call CBS and ask them to lay off of the propaganda polls. It’s unbecoming of a respected network.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
