Donald Trump is an enemy to the Constitution, which means he’s an enemy to America. He must be stopped.👇
The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab.
👇
America has no money to pay for cancer research for kids, but we’ve got tons of cash to cut taxes for billionaires and build Trump a new party room at the White House. Make it make sense.
OMG! 🤣🤣
Excellent
😞🙏
RFK Jr. is pushing out scientific leaders who refuse to act as a rubber stamp for his dangerous conspiracy theories and manipulate science. Today, I am calling for a bipartisan congressional investigation into the firing of CDC Director Dr. Monarez.
Republicans talk a good game about mental health. But when it comes down to it, this is the type of shit they pull when they’re in power 👇
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
Disgraceful
If carbon emissions continued to rise, 70% of the model runs led to collapse, while an intermediate level of emissions resulted in collapse in 37% of the models. Even in the case of low future emissions, an AMOC shutdown happened in 25% of the models. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
I applaud workers at the CDC for standing up against Sec. Kennedy’s dangerous anti-vaccine crusade. We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump Administration. History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.
The de minimis exemption, which allowed imported packages worth less than $800 to enter the U.S. without facing any duties, will end for all countries on August 29.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Explaining this: As a presidential nominee who was confirmed by the Senate, Trump has to fire her, and her lawyers say that has not happened yet, so she is still in office.
Everything going on in our country and they fought over sign. Pathetic
What kind of evil country does this to people? The cruelty, they do it for fun. They do it for sport. They do it because their supporters cheer for it. It's evil.

In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe. Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]

What Trump/Texas just did will lead to the death of representative democracy. They’ve opened the door to gerrymandering every 2yrs, b4 any election. And when that happens, Americans will no longer believe their representation is legitimate. And representative democracy will die.
😥
We have to get rid of partisan gerrymandering. Trump is trying to rig the system & steal the next election. We have to fight back.
The Trump Administration recently blocked me from conducting critical oversight of federal facilities in my district—so I sued them. We have to ensure transparency & accountability.
