"Trump says Democrats and the media are misleading voters... Republican officials aiming to avoid another defeat in next fall’s midterms are encouraging candidates to embrace the president fully and talk more about his accomplishments." Denial and projection, as always. Is the year 1984? #Pinks

Leo commented on “the growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people.” We might take guidance from the first American pope. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social

Russ Vought is the ultimate unelected destroyer from within.

Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody. He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back She’s not allowed to visit him. They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

“We need leadership with new ideas and the humility to know that Americans hold diverse perspectives on how they want to take care of their bodies. Dr. Means is not that leader.” NYT Opinion The Doctor Who Hates Medicine archive.ph/WjEuM

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?” @aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Former agency employees doubted the administration’s claim that some dismissals were caused by coding errors. “It really speaks to their incompetence,” www.scientificamerican.com/article/cdc-...

Seeing a lot of celebration of this as a win. But at NIH we have seen this exact play before. It looks like it is the Vought strategy -and to stop the lawless firings we have to see the bigger picture. A 🧵:

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

This is the most chaotic, cruel, and incompetent administration ever.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Former Surgeons General Say "Science and expertise have taken a back seat to ideology and misinformation. Morale has plummeted in our health agencies, and talent is fleeing at a time when we face rising threats -- from resurgent infectious diseases to worsening chronic illnesses."

The greedy grifters are destroying the U.S.

The U.S. is a mafia state.

MAGA is destroying the U.S.A. From within.

Just posting this. Everyone knows why.

The hypocrisy is unbelievable. #MAGAweaponizingGov

“The consequential changes occurring in federal public health agencies impact every community and the lives of every American. State and local health departments, which are on the frontlines of protecting the health of their residents rely on the federal government, particularly CDC, …”

“And while the community divides, the real destruction happens off stage. Medicaid is gutted. Human services are starved.”

Vaccines save lives. Lies cost lives.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.
