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.

Trump’s illegal war against Iran has cost American taxpayers MORE THAN $33.7 BILLION dollars in just the first four months. We wouldn’t know if it wasn’t for pressure by @duckworth.senate.gov to expose the truth. How our affordability crisis is tied directly to this war: youtu.be/3XuYpSa8rKs?...

The Obama family shared that Sunny passed away yesterday after 13 years by their side. She was fiercely protective of her big brother, Bo, and we can imagine the two of them together again. Today, hold your pets a little closer and cherish every moment you share.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining. A senseless, criminal waste

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal.

Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. 

For months, I’ve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news.

Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

Letting 42 million Americans go without food this weekend—half of whom are children—is WRONG and a CHOICE. The funds are there, but the White House is trying to leverage hungry kids for a political agenda. Mr. President, American lives are not a political game, and we are not here to play.
