The American College of Cardiology issued new guidance Tuesday that recommends adults with heart disease get vaccinated against respiratory illnesses, including RSV, COVID-19, pneumococcal infection, shingles and influenza. https://to.pbs.org/4fV4L9H
Gavin Newsom should randomly include crazy quotes from Donald Trump in his upcoming speeches and see what the media latches onto. They clearly didn't care about the "some people want me to be a dictator" part of his meeting yesterday.
they have jobs and families elsewhere, and they're forced to do this bs.
Yes, the stakes here are large. Very large.
really tired of andrew's hyuk journalism.
exactly. was about to post this very thing. the cranks are not participants in driving consensus on vaccines.
"Medicare beneficiaries spent 11% of their total per capita income on out-of-pocket health care costs, on average, but 1 in 4 beneficiaries spent at least 21% and 1 in 10 beneficiaries spent 39% or more" www.kff.org/medicare/hea...
he's such a predictable simpleton that anyone could've clocked this.
Kristi Noem and her squad of geniuses are painting the American side of the wall black—apparently to keep us from escaping.
Ask any MAGA if 1) these words offend them (answer is yes), then 2) if they can explain what they mean (answer is no). We can't help that half of the country doesn't care to understand things, so the solution is to "outstupid" (borrowing from Maher- not a fan) them?
This, from FDR's 1936 convention speech bears repeating, as always, but especially now: "Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales. . . . (1/3)
Montana is projected to have at least 3% increase in the number of uninsured people as the Budget Reconciliation Law goes into effect. At least 33,000 more Montana residents will go without health insurance. #medicaid #mtpol #montana www.kff.org/uninsured/ho...
this is the way

It's wild how 47 says something completely insane, and these goons debase themselves to make it true.
i wonder if 2022 rubio will run against 2025 rubio during the presidential primaries.

it's why they only talk about reagan even though there were three republican presidents since then. and trump won't change that.
they could deploy the navy seals and we wouldn't gaf
This shows two things: 1) how weak Trump appears and 2) how ineffective law enforcement are at their jobs.
exactly. it wasn't bad 8 months ago, but suddenly is now?
Did you know that the Founders were so vehemently against having a standing army that might do what Comer is calling for that they explicitly wrote into the Constitution that Congress has to reauthorize the existence of the Army every two years or the entire thing has to disband?
My quote of the day People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character. Ralph Waldo Emerson
just like handing cabinet jobs to ding dongs in the current admin, they mean nothing...less than nothing.
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

BLS is required by law to publish jobs numbers every month
SCOTUS has released the October and November argument calendars, with the big news being that the big Voting Rights Act case reargument is set for October 15.
clear sign of a weak, beleaguered little fellow.

you be the judge
the ghost of christmas future visited this ding dong over the weekend.
It's wild to see the world's most insufferable pedant dumb himself down every day to please the dumbest president/base in American history.
A normal person would follow up with: "what part of the methodology did you think was wrong? you do realize that the commissioner is even independent from how those numbers are calculated?"
It makes you wonder why so many of these people hold their positions when they can’t actually advise the president and instead defer uncritically to his supposed expertise on everything.
The average American seems to be indifferent. Even though economic indicators showed the economy was thriving last year, not everyone felt the benefits. Although the data wasn't falsified, people still didn't trust it. Help people understand why this matters to them beyond just being authoritarian.
i hope this man is shunned from his field. no one should take him serious ever again. NO ONE
When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq
what does it mean when you outright lie about everything, but the public knows it's all bs (see: current polling)?

how do you die from a vaccine? how is this crank in charge of anything? he should be a pariah in the scientific community when this ends.
the most basic of responses is that presidents are always inaugurated and start their terms in odd years. it's really not that difficult.
all these dipshits can do is make referrals
whatever is in those files has to be vile

about ten years ago there was a lot of online noise about whether we were living in Orwell's or Huxley's future but I think at this point the most accurate prediction was Vonnegut.
One thing that keeps me up these days: how is the next party in power supposed to govern? The GOP has signaled it will not always be bound by laws or international agreements it disagrees with. It’s not absolute — they blew up part of reconciliation, but not all; ignore some court orders, etc. (1/7)
look where we are in less than a year
again, this is how they dehumanize poor people. let's assume they are hanging out..do they not deserve access to healthcare without risking financial ruin?
regardless, able-bodied people eligible for medicaid deserve health insurance and it doesn't have to be a reward for working. wtf, America?
someone who so grossly misunderstands how medicaid works should not lead CMS. this is irresponsible and this crank knows better. unbelievable
and she seems to low in the admin to get a pardon. i hope dems don't forget about ppl like her

Wild how people still don’t get this: Most folks on Medicaid work. The rest are kids, people with disabilities, or caregivers. Health insurance isn’t some lottery ticket...it’s protection from financial disaster. You don’t “cash in” on coverage. You survive.

The Senate’s version of OBBBA hits poor families even harder than the initial version passed by the House — now the poorest Americans will lose 2.9% of their income while the richest gain 2.2%
Republican claims of widespread Medicaid fraud insult the intelligence of their constituents. Just look at the data...Medicaid offers limited benefits and strict eligibility requirements. There's little incentive to defraud a program designed damn near as a last resort.
This is a straight-up lie from Scott. Medicaid provides essential, not expansive, coverage. Most enrollees are employed; others qualify due to disability or caregiving. It’s a critical safety net, not a program people exploit for gain. The incentive to defraud is minimal.
You thought the dot com bubble where people raised millions on PPT slides was ridiculous? Welcome to the age of unbridled AI Hype where Sutskever gets $2B to promise not to release "superintelligence" & Murati gets $2 BILLION to...? Sure. Its definitely not a bubble. techcrunch.com/2025/06/20/m...
Mass murderer. (gift link)
The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid
Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s
you don't mess with the zohran!
In response to RFK loading up the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee with anti-vaxxers, medical societies, local health departments, and advocacy groups are working to preserve vaccine access by ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and emphasizing vaccine guidance from medical associations.
You’re not “not doing enough.” You’re feeling enough to notice the dissonance. That awareness is your compass.
we do not appreciate why things are mostly boring and quiet during dem admins.
I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history
If recording is survival, you’re not free. If freedom needs proof, it was never real. The system doesn’t want justice—it wants silence. Fuck Around & Find Out is a resistance manual for the unheard, the erased, the defiant. 📕 Don’t wait. Read. Share. Act: stan.store/gxldsociety/...
it's also the outright apathy about a people he wants to annihilate from afar.
it's a scam and will never work. it's hinderberg after hindenberg. lol.
the insane, non-restrictive subordinate clause president.
New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...
they're all boils on trumps keister.

The overall crime rate appears to be low, evidenced in part by the active and widespread participation of local police in ICE raids across the country.
what's wild is he knows less about spaceships than he does about destroying electoral politics
an otherwise smart man debasing himself for an oaf is quite something
this man never worked a day in public health and it shows. he's a surgeon and the difference between surgeons and god is that god doesn't think he's a surgeon
i hope these people never find normal jobs ever again.
For over a year our 2yo has been obsessed with videos of the Lowes animatronic Halloween reaper band. So for his 3rd birthday, we surprised him with his own reaper band. Now all he wants to do is perform with the 7ft tall reapers, specifically as an *animatronic* skeleton. He’s a method actor.
dunno how we elect such shitty, wicked morons to high office.
