Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

The news of HHS potentially pulling funding for any hospital that provides gender affirming care for youth should terrify everyone. This means the govt can decide what care any of us can receive and hold funding hostage for any hospital that doesn’t bend to its will.

It seems that every other patient for the last two days has been lamenting their increased cost of #healthinsurance with many saying they may not come in for their chronic healthcare conditions due to fear of cost. Nice work #GOP. #HEALTHCAREFORALL

Not being contrarian for contrarianism's sake, but the fact that only three conservative Democrats from districts that voted for Trump voted for a trans care ban for minors should encourage trans people that they can make Democrats hold the line. clerk.house.gov/Votes/202535...

More credible evidence that Covid vaccines benefit mom/ baby. Vaccination prior to & during pregnancy, before Covid diagnosis was associated w/ lower risk of severe disease & preterm birth. Meanwhile, RFK Jr's HHS ended funding agreements w/ the American Academy of Pediatrics. 🧪 #SackTheQuack

Read this. Then read it again.

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) on GOPers letting ACA tax credits expire: "We live in the richest country in the history of the world. We have a trillionaire.... And yet we're being told millions of people need to lose their health care because we can't afford it? That's obscene."

Sounds about right.

We should not normalize the deranged comments from a sitting president regarding Rob Reiner’s death. Trump Derangement Syndrome is not real. If TDS is a thing, then BDS existed for 4 yrs and ODS for 8. #Pinks This is not normal.

Australia after first large mass shooting since 1996: let's consider making our strict gun laws even stricter US after the 400th mass shooting this year:

It's a day of news about violence. Take care of yourselves.

We sadly know Zoe Weissman because of Parkland. In fact, our families are so close, that she has been there for my wife and I after Parkland and helped with our foundation Orange Ribbons For Jaime. America, are you ok with this?

The U.S. spends 5× more on billing and paperwork than countries with universal healthcare. Your doctor now needs more clerical staff than medical staff—because insurers demand it. Premiums go up because insurers can raise prices, not because care improves. Americans pay more and get less

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

PIERS: “You’re not gay?” FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.” P: “Should they vote?” F: “No.” PIERS: “They should stay home?” FUENTES: “Yeah.” PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?” FUENTES: “No.” PIERS: “Wow. Says the guy who never got laid.”

"They may not all call themselves feminists — though at times Mace has — but they’ve internalized basic feminist assumptions about their entitlement to equal treatment. What they’ve failed to understand, however, is that those aren’t assumptions their party shares." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/o...

If tariffs are such a great idea why are we looking at 12 BILLION $ aid for US farmers? #trumpeconomics

SNL on Trump’s fake peace prize.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here: 1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes. 2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

Keep posting it....Republicans deserve to lose all their seats in Congress. Matthew 23:27-28 (Jesus says): "Woe to you, teachers of the law ...., you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean".

As we get more reports of ICE thugs detaining Americans, it should be noted that Timothy Snyder made it crystal clear from the onset of ICE raids that NO ONE would be safe. People tell ICE: "I'm an American." They illegally detain us anyway. Bc WE already let them erode due process for immigrants.

This is a fucking nightmare and right now I am very, very angry with the people who put Trump back in office. More and more kids are going to die from preventable diseases. As I have said for months, RFK Jr. has more power to singlehandedly kill more Americans than any other cabinet secretary.

Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.

On left: President Trump Statement Sept. 2, 2025: "The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in international waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States." On right: (Under penalty of law) military leaders told Congress headed to Suriname.

I don't need to know the victims of the boat strike were waving for surrender, it was murder before then.

American Academy of Pediatrics President, Dr. Susan Kressly, on FDA changes to vaccine policies: “They are distorting facts, misstating data, and advancing an agenda that is not in keeping with science. Our patients and our families deserve better.”

Was just thinking it's Friday. What will be the fu!?;/g new story to drop before 5pm that we can talk about on the news shows all weekend.

Glad my kids were born during a time when they were able to access all life saving #vaccines. I miss my old America.

JUST NOW: "This is like Alice in Wonderland", Judge Breyer says when trying to get the DOJ to explain to him why what happened in CA is a "rebellion" justifying the deployment of the National Guard. "Words just mean what you want them to mean?"

The Golden Age.

This is one of those days where all of the headlines are nauseating and sad. Take care of yourselves.

The ONLY immigrants allowed in the US are WHITE South Afrikaners rn.

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.
