If the CDC was going to publish these guidelines its scientists had an obligation to review the evidence behind them. But HHS officials rebuffed repeated requests. “The answer was no—they declined to share any of the materials that they were using to support that decision…CDC has never seen it.”

Trump wants to marginalize voters who would have difficulty getting to a polling site. There's no other reason. Vote-by-mail works, and that's what frustrates him.

He's counting on continuing to mislead Americans into thinking tariffs benefit us. They do not. Many countries are doubling down by imposing tariffs on American goods. But the reality is nobody wins. Individual Americans will be paying the inflated prices until this insanity stops.

So, JD, because we don't grieve in the same performative way you expect, you feel emboldened to critique how others process grief in some other way than what you expect. What a small little man-child you are. I grieve for our country that you are a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.

Part of my world view that believes what you do. I see this as a 76 year-old. People who are marginalized by the GOP still haven't figured out they are on the list of folks who will lose access to medical care and other vital services. They don't have a seat at the table...they are on the menu.

What's the thrust, here? does DJT have a plan to kill off selected grouips of Americans by cutting access to care nationwide along with cancelling immunizations? Thiking about the risk to infants, children and elderly as well as anyone else with immunosuppression.
