This is a fucking DISGRACE. The Republicans of the United States Congress are permitting a man to spew dangerous and harmful disinformation to the public.

This is dangerous. This will kill infants and children.

Republicans DO NOT CARE about babies after they are born

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:

“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

Texas A&M's changes to academic policy will limit what students can learn in classes and stop faculty from teaching the facts. This is antithetical to what higher education is meant to be. #HigherEdBenefitsEveryone spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-tex...

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.

The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

As we said in our article today, Robert F. Kennedy MUST GO.

This man is more dangerous to the health and lives of the people of the U.S. than any other cabinet member.
The US is on track to lose its measles elimination status in months. RFK needs to go.
Canada has lost its measles elimination status and the U.S. is likely to be next. These failures are the result of the anti-vaccination movement, bolstered by the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ...

Sadly I regret to say that it's likely that the economy is going to worsen as the effects of the fascists' policies ACTUALLY take root.
76% of people polled essentially saying that the economy sucks is "Katie, bar the door" territory.

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

One more thing to remember: this story comes as Republicans across the country are working to hide maternal mortality data. They're disbanding maternal death committees, stacking them with anti-choice activists, and obscuring the connection between deaths & bans

They might even imply that Walker herself is to blame: they’ll say she had existing health problems. I’ve even seen anti-abortion groups victim-blame Black women for maternal deaths by saying they’re more likely to be “obese."

There is no overstating how far they're willing to go to shirk blame

They’ll say that it was abortion rights activists who killed Walker—claiming that we've scared doctors out of providing life-saving care.

Texas' abortion ban has killed yet another woman. Here's exactly what the anti-abortion response will be:

They’ll claim doctors were legally allowed to “intervene” or “treat” Tierra Walker with "care." They won't say she could have had an abortion because they don’t believe in life-saving abortions
