On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters."

On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident.

Real macho stuff.

On the YouTube channel Dayton Nay - he mentioned that Pennsylvania had 67 counties and 59 voted for the Republican candidate last year.

He’s trying to figure out how to turn formerly liberal states blue again.

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

NEW: We just received another big win in our case against the Trump Administration for unlawfully terminating funding for NIH grants.

Another win in our case to preserve NIH funding for public health and biomedical research from Trump’s illegality, this time before the First Circuit.

CBS may have canceled Colbert, but satire doesn’t die it migrates. If HBO or Apple TV have any guts, they’ll hand him a mic and a match. Because in times like these, we don’t need less truth in comedy. We need truth that comes with teeth.

Rewording my earlier post.

RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress.

I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good.

If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

Some of the posters on this thread don’t realize that suicide rates among farmers is higher than veterans. Suicide rates for farmers started climbing in the 1970s after government policy changes ended New Deal agricultural programs and shifted to Big Ag corporate farming model.

Reporters, looking for actual CDC employee reactions to this news? You can quote us:

You're fired, you're fired, everyone is fired. This is what RFK Jr did today to CDC vaccine advisory panel.

Sound alarms, this is a dismantling of science that public health is built on.

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products.

Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month.

This is corporate greed at its worst.

Can't wait to hear the political spin they're going to put on kicking 13 million people off their health insurance. To think this is their "moderate" proposal would be laughable if it wasn't so harmful.

If Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release, he will support legislation I will introduce to ensure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries.

If we come together, we can get it passed in a few weeks.
