A must on the impeach list. RFK Jr is endangering the lives of countless Americans on nearly every health front. 🎁 Kennedy Assures Vaccine Skeptics That They Have a ‘Friend at the White House’ www.nytimes.com/2026/09/17/h...

The speaker before Mr. Kennedy was Mark Gorton, the president of the MAHA Institute, who called the success of the polio vaccine a “fraud,” priming the audience for the remarks of their former leader, who railed against vaccines for two decades. The speaker after him was Andrew Wakefield, a discredited British doctor whose retracted paper linked the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine with autism. Decades of research have proved that finding to be wrong.

Fielding questions re: this article w/bizarre factual errors. First, there's no "Montecito County" in CA. Second, 2 fires are actually in *Monterey,* & 3rd in *Mendocino*. Third, 60k ac have *not* burned in either fictional Montecito nor real Mendocino.🤨

Three Montecito County fires near Big Sur have burned nearly 60,000 acres

In Mendocino County, the total area burned by three fires grew to nearly 60,000 acres on Saturday.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Since this is growing some legs, it’s probably a good time to point out that you have a food bank near you, and it’s better to donate money than canned goods- they can stretch your dollar way further than you can. And they always need volunteers, for those of us who have more time than money.

1/ Over the weekend, the FDA announced that a lettuce sample from Taylor Farms tested positive for Cyclospora. Within 24 hours, the FDA backtracked, calling the result a false positive. Taylor Farms quickly deleted its own posts about its bagged lettuce and boasted the FDA had apologized to them.

If I had more confidence in our public health infrastructure, my evaluation might be different. (i.e. if I was more confident in the work that has narrowed FDA's focus to shredded lettuce.) But in 2026, HHS isn't just battered and bruised — it has fallen.

Another Prop 13 disaster in the making coming to ballots this fall. I think there's a strong chance that it will clear the 50% threshold, thus subjecting everything in the future to a 66.67% threshold in the future. Which is such bullshit.

According to the California Secretary of State, the initiative qualified for the ballot on April 21 with 1.3 million signatures. It has yet to receive an official proposition title.

Although the state initiative would force future local taxes to clear a two-thirds supermajority, the measure itself requires only a simple statewide majority to become law.

While the difference between special and general taxes is usually defined by where the money goes, the state initiative – placed on the November 2026 general election ballot – also addresses where the money comes from. The measure forces all citizen-led special taxes to clear a two-thirds voter threshold while also completely banning charter cities from keeping local real estate transfer taxes above state limits.

Supporters of the initiative say the proposal protects Proposition 13 – which capped property taxes and established the state’s two-thirds vote requirement – and closes “court-created loopholes” that make it easier for local governments to raise sales, parcel, and real estate taxes.

Backed by a coalition of business, taxpayer, and real estate organizations, the measure’s prominent supporters include the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the California Business Roundtable, the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles, and Reform California.
