The claim that pediatricians vaccinate children for profit is not only false—the economics are often the opposite. They vaccinate because they’ve devoted their careers to protecting children Turning that commitment into an accusation of profiteering is an especially vile lie.

The American Bar Association laid out the receipts. Big donors get appointments. Big money flows in, investigations disappear, pardons follow, regulations loosen and foreign governments get favorable treatment. The article calls it an “unprecedented pay-to-play culture.” #PayToPlayPresident

Executive order on vaccines bypasses an evidence-based process that has kept kids safe
The most important thing for parents to know is that the order does not change which vaccines are available to children and is not based on any new data about vaccine safety.

This is so disturbing & pathological. This narcissistic sociopath was fine protecting his own hide but, to save face about his Qatari jet, remained silent about the credible threat as the press & his staff flew in a plane that had a target on it.

This is a travesty. UFC isn't a widely supported sport. The crowds are usually filled with men who seem to love the violence. Trump has turned our beautiful, historical WH into the Hunger Games & is destroying the property.

While I'm sure that whoever replaces him will be worse, I'm glad Cassidy lost after violating his physician oath to "do no harm" to appease Trump. He ok'd RFK Jr.'s nom to move forward. He's done irreparable harm to the nation's health & trust in the CDC. We may never recover.

They’re charging James Comey for posting “8647” on his Instagram, saying it’s a threat. Do you know how stupid this is? I worked in food service. When we “86’d” someone, that meant “throw them out.” Not KILL the customer.

I hope that @maddow.bsky.social will highlight this government theft. When detainees (citizens, legal residents, etc). undocumented immigrants) are detained @ Whipple Detention Center in Mpls, their phones, jewelry, coats are taken from them. When released, these items are not returned to them.

This was reported in the MN Star Tribune recently. The ER physicians and nurses were immediately suspicious when ICE brought this man into the ER and declared he suffered his injury because he ran into a brick wall. They are unlawfully beating people and trying to get away with it.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
