If you need further evidence that it’s a ridiculous myth that Republicans are better at the economy than Democrats, just go outside. The reverse is happening again in realtime.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.

This month, a driver in Oregon saw police lights and pulled over. They complied.
Three men - one with a rifle - claiming to be ICE forced the driver out.
Then they were detained, assaulted, and hospitalized.
Their assailants were not ICE.
But how would anyone know the difference?
ICE wears masks. Hides badges.
Drives unmarked cars.
Anyone else seeing a problem with
"just comply" yet?

This reply nails it. 🎯 Source: x.com/LadyChuan/st...
An image of a thread on social media platform X from July 8, 2026.
The initial post by ABG (@taureanlady5) expresses concern about the frequency of young people experiencing severe medical events. It reads: "What is up with all these folks my age having strokes? Seems like strokes in our forties was almost unheard of 20, 25 years ago. This is so scary. Getting my next physical soon."
A detailed reply by Lady Chuan (@LadyChuan) links these health trends directly to long-term post-viral effects. The comment reads: "Do better. Wear. A. Mask. KN95 or better. I'm quite sure that you know by now COVID is a CHRONIC VASCULAR DISEASE that enters the body by a virus called SARS which INITIALLY presents itself as a respiratory illness."
The reply goes on to claim that the virus persists in the endothelial lining, leading to a over 50% increase in strokes, heart attacks, and embolisms, a 67% increase in cancer, T-cell destruction, immune disorders, and that common "colds" are frequently undetected cases.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.
