What does it mean that the president is going to demand manufacturers make a vaccine differently? We have an agency called the FDA. We have an agency called the CDC. Like, what does that mean? Let's not wait to find out. Let's stop this man and stop this crazy science and get this guy out of office.

A senator is blaming Trump administration policies for the rise in measles deaths in the US. But maybe he should also ask how much responsibility he bears for putting this administration in charge.

Luke Lindberg was chosen to lead the World Food Programme. He doesn’t have expertise in emergency humanitarian response, but he does have a father-in-law: Republican Senator John Thune. We need humanitarian expertise, not political connections.

Measles needs 95% vaccination to stop spreading. The US has dropped below that under RFK Jr.'s watch at HHS. That means everyone is at risk. Get vaccinated. For your neighbours, for your friends, for your family.

Canadian Prime Minister said out loud what everyone's been thinking: this feels like a war between two countries with the world's most peaceful border. We didn't get here by accident. Threats to make Canada 'the 51st state' don't stay jokes forever.

Two unvaccinated people just died of measles in Pennsylvania. This disease was eliminated in the US in 2000. Now it's back, and it's killing people, because RFK Jr. gutted vaccine policy and Trump let him do it. We need a real vaccine advisory committee, run by experts, and to impeach RFK Jr.

Many people blame money and Citizens United for what's wrong with our elections. But in addition to Citizens United, there's another Supreme Court decision warping our elections, which gives media outlets legal cover to decide which candidates are "serious" enough to cover. vist.ly/5ecz8

The Other Supreme Court Decision Warping Our Elections
Citizens United didn’t erase candidates. Forbes did — by letting media gatekeepers define “seriousness” and enforce it with silence…

President Trump, our chief vaccine scientist just issued a completely bunk executive order mandating the separation of measles, mump and rubella vaccines. This is worse for parents and worse for kids. It's also bunk science.

I spoke with ABC News about what's driving the resurgence of measles, why vaccine misinformation has consequences far beyond the United States, and how recent U.S. Government policies are weakening public health capacity at home and abroad. Watch my full interview 👇

This video contains more AI oversight than Congress has passed. AI can get me from the NYC subway to D.C., but it can’t write its own rules. That’s our job. Vote Nina for NY-12 if you want Congress to catch up and regulate AI.
