Christianity: For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. Judaism: You shall leave [the edges of your field] for the poor and the stranger. Islam: The righteous are those who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of God. Trumpism:

We will not let Minnesotans go hungry.

He has no clue what people are dealing with because of him and he doesn't care.

Donald Trump is AGAIN suing to avoid sending food to hungry children and seniors.

The two parties are not the same.

Doug's wife Shadene has ALS. Her medication costs $19K/month. Now her insurance premiums are jumping from $604 to $2,000 because Republicans want to take away the ACA tax credits—more than their entire Social Security check. "It's insane," he says.

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

Something I think gets lost in the debate over ACA enhanced premium tax credits: 65% of ACA marketplace enrollees have incomes under 200% of the poverty level ($31,300 for a single person). These are folks who make too much for Medicaid but don't have access to employer coverage.

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

When I run errands these days, I make sure I have my keys, my phone and my whistle. I wear the whistle in case I spot Homeland Security thugs terrorizing people and need to alert my neighbors. Lots of people are wearing them. That’s how Trump has changed life in my hometown, Evanston, IL.

"Should SNAP benefits be paid during the government shutdown?" Yes: 74% No: 14% YouGov / Nov 3, 2025

Trump announced this morning he will violate two court orders and withhold SNAP benefits from Americans. He’s starving people on purpose

Just go with half the money for food. Awful.

If you think your kids aren't old enough to hear about what's happening in this country, remember that there are millions of kids their same age who don't have that choice.

H-1B visa–sponsored physicians are twice as prevalent in rural counties and nearly 4 times as common in high-poverty areas, highlighting the potential harm of rising visa costs to health care access. ja.ma/47Iw84h

New story up on the non-existent banned words from NIH grants (based on my grant title, word cloud analysis) www.statnews.com/2025/10/29/n... 1/3

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies. Trump just won’t release it. 440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

The MAHA plan was ALWAYS intended to undermine vaccines. - Rolling back access - Seeding doubt on vaccine effectiveness - Pushing false narratives about vaccine harms - Crippling the infrastructure for vaccine approval and guidelines www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🤦‍♂️ Next up (I assume), 'mercury is fine to eat, as long as it is not in vaccines' The guy who says people shouldn't take health advice from him (he's right about that one) keeps giving a lot of (BAD) health advice.

Breaking: Today is officially one of the biggest days of protest in American history. Over 7 million Americans turned out to No Kings events to stand up against MAGA fascism.

Top medical groups warn that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr poses a risk to US public health amid vaccine policy turmoil. Here’s the latest on the mounting pressure to remove him from the HHS. ja.ma/4n8weqs

Consumer Reports finds that some protein shakes and powders contain extremely high levels of lead. www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Wait, WHAT? The IRB gone. The IRB! What an extraordinarily dangerous, harmful, unethical bunch of MAGA and MAHA lackeys we now have running US public health, healthcare, and health research; they have totally lost their moral compass (assuming they once had one?).

This is a powerful account from a PhD student whose fellowship was terminated by NIH because it was part of a "diversity" program without any other considerations or understanding of what the program or the students were actually doing. undark.org/2025/10/09/o... 1/2

Parents will ask "is something going around?" and we would, based on media reports, anecdotal data, and experience would answer "oh yeah, probably something viral". The CDC produces the NREVSS dashboard which tells us exactly what diseases are "going around". Is has not been updated for 3 weeks.

Standing in solidarity with colleagues at the CDC who were fired as part of yet another RIF wave. We are all less safe without their expertise and dedication.

The continue to find new ways to hurt all of us. This is awful for all those being fired and it's awful for all Americans who these dedicated civil servants have served. I can only wonder how low our life expectancy will go in the U.S.

RIFed: Office of Science (OS) - MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) MMWR is crucial to quickly disseminate info about infectious disease. Like the famous MMWR in 1981 about an outbreak of pneumocystis pneumonia among gay men in LA. That was the first mention of what is now known as AIDS

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.  The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees. Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

Brett Kavanaugh: “The Govt sometimes makes brief investigative stops …”

1 month from now, while he's testifying to congress, this will be quoted back to him and he'll indignantly scowl that he never said 'make the proof'

RFK Jr. has a less-than-zero understanding of how science works. "Make the proof" should be disturbing for anybody who cares about health, truth, or democracy. Join our fight to impeach RFK Jr. here 👉 www.standupforscience.net/quack-o-gram... #impeachrfk #impeachthequack

Hey US scientists, the NY Times wants to hear from you if you've had your funding cut. 🌊🧪

This will happen across the country if it hasn't already. Translates to: 1: Patients can't get most in hospital care close to home (no visitors OR $$ to see the pt) (hopefully clinics can stay?) 2: Some patients will die or end up worse off than they otherwise would due to associated delays in care

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided. We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans. U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties. Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed. This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda. It was always about cruelty.

So tragic: Alberta baby born with congenital #measles (mother contracted measles late in pregnancy) died shortly after birth. The province, which has had a massive measles outbreak this year, says this is the 7th case of congenital measles in 2025. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
