Decades of research have found that acetaminophen is safe for children when administered as recommended. Misleading claims link the medicine to autism. These false claims send a dangerous message to parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

The King is ordering the prosecution of particular individuals, and threatening to fire AG Bondi if DOJ doesn't go after them. We fought a revolution to prevent this. We don’t bow down to Kings. Patriots must stop this.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Good expose of a big problem. And it's totally true it's deeply intertwined with DNC/DCCC etc. But it's important to understand how this is a result of bad party-weakening reforms, producing a collective action problem where there is no locus of accountable power with the ability to shut it down.

The administration is taking funds away from required expenses and putting them wherever it likes already. So let them figure it out. No new funding required, right?

Tell your D colleagues: no votes for any R initiatives until rule of law is restored!

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools. I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

Cutting federal support for vulnerable Americans while advancing tax cuts for the wealthiest among us isn’t just wrong, it’s cruel. This budget resolution is shameful, and it’s going to hurt far too many communities across our nation.

He’s not saying it because he thinks it’s true, he’s transmitting the script.

My mum was born in 1940 when there were very few vaccines available, so she saw firsthand what can happen when children are exposed to childhood diseases without the benefits of vaccines. She had friends who died and she had friends who were left crippled. youtu.be/CCOS7vy-BrI

NEW: Scoop about the architect of the destruction of USAID. Pete Marocco was a USAID official in the first Trump Admin. On a trip to the Balkans, he secretly met with the Serb separatist leader. That was a no-no. Caused a big diplomatic incident. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

Palantir for years has been spreading through Department of State and intelligence agencies. Musk immediately and easily had access to the most sensitive information.

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.
