Fact: Only about 5–10% of breast cancers are believed to be hereditary. This means that the vast majority of people who get breast cancer have no family history, meaning there are many other factors at work to cause this disease. #BCSM #MBC #Stage4NeedsMore

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

This is what Trump and Musk are doing during a measles outbreak.

Today, 10,000 staffers were fired at CDC—including measles and bird flu experts—while dozens of free vaccination clinics were canceled in Texas.

These billionaires don’t seem to care that children will die from their cruel cuts.

Many clinics had been planned at schools in the Dallas area with low vaccination rates.

tRump fired ten thousand people today from the CDC, FDA and NIH.

Among those who lost their job was every person researching Alzheimer’s & helping those affected to improve their lives.

Make no mistake, tRump WILL hurt you. Not if, but when.

This is what waste really looks like "There has been no effort in allowing staff to transfer projects, programs, or responsibilities” #medsky #cdc www.wired.com/story/cdc-gu...

The CDC Has Been Gutted

Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

DOGE=society bias, higher class as with money and no common sense. They are destroying the US in EVERY way possible. This is what I think, I hope you don’t need healthcare in the next 4 years. You’d be f*c*ed. 😜😊🦋.js

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Anyone out there ever work in Treasury Payments? I'm curious if this is actually the case:

The Secure Payment System (SPS) employs a strict separation of duties as a core security measure.

The point of the ? Is to know how many people are required to approve a payment and where are they located

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Trump’s Day 1 Executive Orders Are a Live Grenade Thrown at His Own Voters

Never in American history has a new president done more in one day to attack, in the most vicious ways imaginable, the very people who voted for him—opting instead to please the people who funded him.
