Iʻm not a fan of how he treats the elderly actor with "early dementia" though. Dementia is not a joke, at the same time that people with dementia should not be running a country.

After I was once on a plane (w/ my baby and no stroller, no less) that got diverted for cleaning b/c someone threw up on 3 rows of passengers, and I saw them walk by w/ bits of 🤮 in their hair, I decided I'm never ever ever traveling without a full change of clothes and a little bag of toiletries.

One source of rage for me is that the party of grift, racism, and cruelty co-opted the word pro-life. I'm a pediatrician. I want kids and their parents to live healthy and fulfilling lives. But "pro-life" means exactly the opposite. Force the kids to be born and then leave them high and dry. nah

yeah, orange guy said all three of those things. We should stop buying bananas, gas prices would go down if we drove less, and a year or so ago he said your kids only needed one or two barbies. Basically everyone tighten your belts so he can grift more. 🤮

Dr. Maya @drdrmaya.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
So if we drive less, buy fewer barbies for our kids, and all swear off eating bananas then all the damage the orange menace has done will be undone? Really?

For everyone else, pls oppose. If you don't have time to get into the weeds, this rule sows additional unnecessary doubt into federal vaccine guidance & is deeply harmful to kids. If you're short on time, write 1 sentence, write "I strongly oppose this proposed rule because it would harm children."

1. Call your members of Congress to urge them to stop implementation of the OMB Federal financial assistance rule. Don’t assume Republicans won’t listen, don’t assume democrats are already aware. These calls and emails do make a difference in ways I never appreciated until this past 18 months.

The response to the proposed OMB federal financial assistance rule has been incredibly impressive. But our work is not done. Now that you’ve submitted your comment, it’s time to take the next steps. Because Vought has shown with prior proposed rules that he will not listen to our comments.
