Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Technically, RFK Jr's first job was being a Kennedy.
Banning vaccines 💉 before guns… only in America.
It is one thing, as a blue state voter, to know that your taxes are being spent elsewhere in the country. But it is quite another to worry that they will simply disappear into a sinkhole of corruption, such as that which is now being created in the WH. snyder.substack.com/p/look-on-my...

The shooter did not act alone. He was assisted by one president, 219 House members, 53 senators, and the NRA.

American workers and labor unions are the backbone of our nation, working tirelessly to build a stronger and more prosperous nation for all. This #LaborDay, let us honor their contributions and dedication by continuing the fight to protect their right to organize and collectively bargain.
I honestly don’t know how these Republican men arrive at this level of AUDACITY. What makes them think they know EVERYTHING? RFK Jr. lucked into the position he was INSTALLED in. He has ZERO qualifications for it. His ignorant policies are going to get Americans KILLED. I know I’m disgusted.
That’s how authoritarians think. They truly believe that any fact isn’t true unless they agree with it.
Unbelievable. It's dangerous and offensive that conspiracy theorist and Secretary of Health RFK, Jr. is subjugating scientific research to his will. The Trump Admin is destroying the reputation of the once excellent health authorities of the United States of America.
He’s not a skeptic. He’s a damn anti-vaxxer who insists on shoving his nonsense down our throats.
Skeptic? No he’s a denier and he’s dangerous. He must go.
Rep. (R) Bill Cassidy was the deciding vote. He voted YES-- permit Mr. Kennedy to be head of H&HS-- Cassidy knew better, but he voted YES anyway. Republicans put RFK Jr. in office www.cnn.com/2025/02/13/p... VOTE THEM OUT. Before they take away your health! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufad...
Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move... “Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky. Scientific American
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Random thought: Our mass shooting problem has two elements: Assault weapons, and butt hurt men. If they won’t allow us to regular the guns, maybe we need to regulate the men. Aggressive and unregulated men cause like 90% of all crime on planet earth. Just sayin….

Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
RFK Jr. ousted a CDC boss. Now former directors say he’s endangering the health of Americans. - ABC News apple.news/AuCeeFVPsTfe...
The stupidest? There is so much competition.
Trump either does not understand the robust #DrugApproval process of the US government or is shilling disinformation for #RFKJr
Just more evident of Trump administration implicit or explicit racism.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein wasn’t just a story — it was a prophecy about hubris, recklessness, and the chaos created by people who refuse accountability.
Somewhere in Iceland.
The chaos at the CDC in the wake of last week’s firing of its Director and the resignations of four senior officials is fallout from the latest skirmish in RFK Jr.’s war against vaccines. Make no mistake, RFK Jr. is working hard to take away your vaccines, if he can. Here’s a progress report.
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽
‼️
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
I didn’t like horror novels, but I ❤️ @stephenking.bsky.social
Labor Day, first celebrated in the 1880s, grew from fierce strikes and parades of workers in big cities. Oregon led the charge in 1887, and the U.S. made it a holiday in 1894 after a deadly Pullman Strike. Originally, it was about marching, not barbecues!
The things I think we should be very concerned about but our government isn’t taking action: 1. COVID because it’s causing mass disability and without good health nothing can be achieved. 2. Climate change - we are moving to a much more unstable situation with AMOC and west Antarctica ice sheet
To be clear it is not a good idea. Live your life forward with joy in your ❤️

Outrageous. FEMA staff warned that disaster response has been gutted—and instead of fixing it, they were suspended. Retaliating against civil servants for telling the truth puts Americans at risk.
Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes. Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.
Yesterday we went grocery shopping and although the US berries were cheaper, we bought all Canadian grown at a higher price. We did get our money’s worth as the Canadian berries were beautiful. Sorry not sorry. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Ghislaine Maxwell’s DOJ interview lacked scrutiny, with key questions about Epstein’s associates ignored and no outreach made to survivors, highlighting serious transparency failures. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
As well it should. Trumps is leading a death cult.
Exactly. It doesn't give him implicit authority, either.
Fight
Assuming he's sick, l just pray he follows the medical advice of "one of the world's foremost voices, advocates and experts on public health," RFK Jr.
Trump does not have enough dignity to resign. Nor does the GOP have enough integrity to tell them that they will vote to impeach if he doesn’t resign. #BarryGdwater #LarryHogan
Nixon was impeached, and resigned, for believing he was above the law.
NEW: "Long the envy of the world…the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows….The agency has since January shed literally centuries' worth of collective experience through a combination of firings, retirements, and resignations."
They attack Fauci, an actual doctor and scientist, but praise RFK Jr., who’s never even seen the inside of a lab. Make it make sense.
Trump continues to pursue an imperial presidency. Here's what you need to know to be ready to follow events in court this week: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
If you are a person who regularly donates items for food banks, please also consider adding cake mix and icing for birthday cakes and period products. Both make life infinitely nicer for folks who need something nice.
Please hold conferences of international interest outside of the US for the time being.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
REALITY CHECK: Under the U.S. Constitution, states are responsible for regulating elections, while Congress has the power to enact national election laws. The President does not have unilateral authority to impose new voting rules like nationwide voter ID requirements.
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...

The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.

Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
Experts are being punished by an administration who is collective IQ is way below average. Education and expertise has been vilified by the incompetent buffoons in the White House and in the cabinet. This is not a shadow government. This is a purposely incompetent administration
The public has lost confidence in #RFKJr. He must be ousted for the health of the country.
What does #RFKJr think we should trust? Study & peer reviewed science creates expertise.
#RFKJr needs to be fired 🔥 He is a grave danger to the country.
I prefer trusting the experts 😅
Fire him
Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?
