This picture told us all we needed to know about any “peace plan” Trump and his coconspirators would ultimately offer. Weak and pathetic. Putin owns him.

National public health “leadership” (hi RFK Jr 🙄) keeps poisoning public health with lies.

Vaccines prevent needless childhood deaths.

No baby in America should be dying of whooping cough — not when we have safe, effective vaccines literally ready to go.

This is a national tragedy

🚨WTF: Trump wants Steve Witkoff to lead peace negotiations — the same guy who’s reportedly owned by Putin?

This isn’t America First — it’s Putin First.
And every patriot should be sounding the alarm. 📣

Trump isn’t just unfit. He’s compromised.

“Quite possibly, Witkoff, Kushner, and Trump sold out Ukraine for personal profit”.

The European Commission, led by President Ursula von der Leyen made clear that Europe will not accept a deal that changes borders by force or one that limits Ukraine’s future military capabilities.

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.

New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

FDA is supposed to protect us from unsafe and ineffective medicines and vaccines.

And yet 🫠...just like at CDC, it's the political appointed leadership holding the agency hostage...

FDA is failing in its mission as it turns a political hammer to the covid vaccines.

Food and Drug Administration officials say they will ratchet up requirements for vaccine studies, citing concerns about COVID shots for kids. But public health experts question the agency's analysis.
