Past FDA leaders have claimed that Covid 19 vaccines have been extensively studied, including in children, and that the benefits of immunization far outweigh the risks.

Did Prasad forget that
COVID-19 vaccines averted 2.5 million deaths during the height of the pandemic?

Just an FYI - this is only US shoppers.
This same information is online for you to search for yourself. As everyone knows, I don’t post conspiracies and bullshit. Also, don’t care about international news to share it unless it’s impacting the USA.

People can't afford this hike. We have to galvanize and contact our state representatives and let them know, GOP and Democrats, that there will be no job for them if they don't FIX this situation for Americans. FIX, not merely repair...no band-aids...

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

The nefarious liars of the GOP...taking credit where none is due. In Mace's case, she voted AGAINST this bill when Biden was in office...however, she now claims credit for it.

This came from the 2021 infrastructure bill signed by Biden. Mace voted against it.

Healing from abuse and trauma is unique for each of us. We often come up against questions or judgement from others - not because we're doing anything wrong - it's likely because our growth causes them discomfort.

In 2023, Biden served Thanksgiving Dinner to service members with Robert Irvine and first lady Jill Biden in an event called "Friendsgiving".

I truly cannot image Trump humbling himself enough to do this now, or ever.

And no, serving briefly out the drive-thru at McDonald's doesn't count.

Does the fate of the US economy now hinge on one company?
The entire stock market, and therefore the entire economy, depends on it maintaining pretty impossible growth metrics.

November 2025. Boasberg strikes the gavel, DHS doesn’t care, hundreds of orders are trampled, Noem sends her flights to El Salvador and Venezuela, the DOJ applauds. Justice screams, power sneers. The institutions? Mere props that the executive brings out or hides away at will.
