昨日からDCでは「高齢トランプの健康状態」の話で持ちきりらしい。 どう見ても健康体には見えないし、言葉が不明瞭になってきてて言ってる話が現実乖離してきているし、現実と自分のデマの境目がもはや消滅してきたようで「認知症」が疑われているし、手足が異様にむくんでて手の甲の内出血の跡もひどくて「うっ血性心不全」の症状だと複数メディアに書かれているしな。 今朝は孫娘とゴルフに出かけたらしいが、ホワイトハウスからは「大統領の健康は大丈夫です」と発表されたとのこと。 He's “fine”, folks.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

The same headline @theonion.com used to run after every U.S. mass shooting.

Breaking news!!!!!
New in PN: Alert the media — the WH is lying about Trump's health "Something's clearly up & the official explanations don’t make sense. That’s not a shock given that Trump is a liar surrounded by toadies who surrendered their shame long ago. But it’s past time for reporters to ask some questions."
Join some Nobel Laureates and sign this petition to remove RFK Jr. from office. He is a danger to the people of the United States and a national security threat. www.change.org/p/demand-rfk...
A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”
this is just so pathetic
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

RFK jr, a man with a laundry list of behavioral problems is running the HHS (including the CDC, NIH, FDA, CMS). If he wants to personally have cult-beliefs, that's on him – but we must not allow him to project his own pathological beliefs onto 345 million people of this country. This is not science.
hey hey rfk how many kids did you kill today
NEW: Dozens of staff members and leaders at the CDC staged a walkout today in response to the internal shake-up of top federal health officials.
and mRNA
For those asking, this is an ammosexual.
But JD - The governors and mayors are telling you to stay away. Therefore you are forcing this on us. Your book must have been ghost written, huh?
Give us a break. The only action you guys have taken is to weaken gun laws, allowing scores of criminals to get guns; shut down funding for anti-violence programs in our cities; close the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. You've taken action - and it's gotten people killed.
📌 Scientists are not in the business of advancing missions antithetical to public health. ✊🏼
Outside the CDC, people are chanting “USA, not RFK.” They are fed up with having one unqualified person dictate the nation’s health. #USANotRFK
Sec. Kennedy’s warped political agenda is corrupting our protection against disease. His destructive discharges of CDC leaders are yet another attempt to replace science with zealotry.
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.
Missiouri Republican Rep. MarkAlford to his angry constituents: "If you didn't want to hear my lies, why did you come here?"
The government doesn’t give a fuck about our safety. They don’t care if our kids make it home from school, they don’t care if you starve to death or go without healthcare, they bring in RFKjr. They remove safety nets for those who need them the most. A government for the people by the people my ass.

A cult of personality. What could go wrong?
Groceries, utilities, and health care all cost more today. But rather than helping bring prices down, Republicans passed legislation that slashes health care for 17 million Americans while funneling trillions in tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.
Medicare for All? “Socialism!” Social Security? “Socialism!” Free college? “Socialism!” Universal childcare? “Socialism!” But a $1 trillion tax break for the top 1%… “That’s just normal.”
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.

Access to Covid shots will be restricted for healthy American adults, unless you are over 65. Kennedy is ignoring the fact that Covid-19 vaccinations averted 2.5 million deaths globally in the recent years. The "science" and "sense" behind this is non-existent. 🧪 apnews.com/article/vacc...
