Live Nation So confused about Thursday Sting concert @ Belasco. Email said it's postponed, website said it's postponed, Sting Insta post said looking forward to seeing everyone (taken down now), and box office says it's happening. Is it???

Trump's nominee for Surgeon General, Casey Means, another wild-eyed, misinformation spewing conspiracist, would join HHS Secretary RFK Jr's team of unqualified leadership in America's top health agency, that Bobby has turned into a global embarrassment. Senators: do not confirm

The war continues to disrupt the mental health and education of Ukraine’s children. One in five has lost a loved one, and nearly 40% still learn remotely. UCAP is addressing these urgent needs through partnerships across the country. Learn more about the impact we’re making

Let’s understand what is happening in Los Angeles. The president is testing how to illegally operationalize martial law in a several block area of a major U.S. City. He has launched a massive misinformation campaign calling the protests a violent “insurrection” and the protesters

Hey, Joshua. I'm just trying to spread the word about a rapidly increasing threat to our democracy. You should do whatever you can do, too.

So RFK, Jr. just fired the entire 17 member, world class independent immunization CDC advisory committee. But no worries. He replaced them with 8 sycophants, many of whom are flagrant, anti-vax conspiracists. It long past time that the unqualified, off the wall HHS secretary be

If Iran develops a nuclear bomb, it will become the 10th member of an exclusive club of nations with nukes, some controlled by hot heads, war-mongers or tyrants. The global nuclear arsenal already contains about 13,000 nuclear weapons, enough to destroy civilization many, many

Russian attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine intensify while we’re distracted by domestic political chaos & a rapidly escalating crisis in the Middle East. Keep reminding Congress that Ukraine is defending democracy by standing up to Russia. They need our help! Meantime, check

Believe me, I understand that the world is in crisis, that domestic politics are in some kind of evil chaos and Donald Trump is making decisions about nuclear weapons. But I can't accept the fact that, other than back-page reports about the latest missile attacks on civilian

OK, folks, let me put this as clearly as I can: RFK, Jr., U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, is a dishonest purveyor of dangerous BS. He is personally responsible - and will be accountable for - almost irreversible degradation of the health and well-being of Americans,

Sad to say, this is more than a little hypocritical. Where was Dr. Kressly and the American Academy of Pediatrics when they could have spoken out against that anti-vaccine, anti-science conspiracy-loving crackpot RFK, Jr. during the HHS Scty confirmation hearing? Will

Maybe. But AAP, AMA, etc should at least try. I actually think Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA) could have been swayed. Hard to absorb how much damage they are doing to health and health care in U.S. - and across the world.

Three of many, many stories that may be defining the new American era of isolation, ignorance and cruelty: 1. The sudden withdrawal of $7 billion meant to support vulnerable American school children; 2. The raw glee expressed by Trump & the Rs who opened what amounts to a

Totally agree. Ukraine is an innovative, economically thriving, technologically advanced democracy struggling against a massive military force pushed by an authoritarian aggressor bent on destroying our ally. We must support Ukraine! And check out UCAP.help

Under bogus rules of his own making, RFK, Jr. approved the June 2025 bogus recommendations of his bogus immunization advisory committee, thereby ignoring the input of the acting CDC director. Another victory for the purveyors of crackpot science and debunked conspiracies. Where

It’s not your political positions that disqualify you for ACIP membership. It’s your history of spreading unscientific and pseudoscientific antivax conspiracy theories and misinformation and your continued belief in them that disqualify you.
