Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.

This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Sitting on the bus, in traffic, waiting to go to the office for a morning full of Zoom meetings. I can’t help but feel we had a missed opportunity to reshape society to be more equitable and flexible. Instead the powers with money are insisting on consolidating it, and backing fascists. 😭😡

The U.S. has led the world in science since the mid-20th century for two reasons: funding & welcoming students and researchers from around the world. The Trump administration is destroying both advantages (1/2)

As Frieden says, RFK Jr. "mangled science" to justify pulling support from Gavi.

This is the type of Fool's Gold Science from the Trump admin that we MUST call out.

Robust clinical trials show that CBT, breathing exercises, social support, exercise and time spent in nature can fight bad stress by altering how a person thinks, how they act and how their body responds to stress. CBT has been shown to reduce how much people dwell on negative feelings after…

NEW: In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson listed 27 grievances to prove that King George III was a tyrant. We looked at how many of those now apply to Donald Trump. Have a good Fourth of July and pass this on.

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump.
It's uncanny.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign.

She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.
