RFK Jr. unilaterally removed the COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for healthy children and pregnant people. Kennedy recently said 'I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me.' So why is he making consequential health decisions without CDC officials present???

The Trump administration is continuing its relentless attacks on Harvard University. We can't call ourselves a democracy when universities are punished for not being politically aligned with the president. History will remember how Harvard resisted authoritarianism.

Trump's budget bill will cut food stamps to fund the golden dome. Trump's budget bill will cause millions of Americans to lose health care to help millionaires get richer. Trump's budget bill is a nightmare for working people & a gift for the ultra wealthy.

The Trump family has made an estimated $300 million or more since Trump's inauguration this year — and this blatant corruption is part of the president's "overall authoritarian mission," says Robert Weissman of Public Citizen.

ICYMI: House Republicans included a measure in their budget bill to exempt & delay Medicare price negotiations on more drugs. So, in addition to taking away people's health care, they are also preventing us from making prescription drugs less expensive. This is Big Pharma

NOAA predicted that we will have a worse-than-average hurricane season. To prepare for it, Trump fired thousands of FEMA experts and disaster recovery workers. America's disaster preparation efforts are just that: an absolute disaster.

Reality TV stars Todd & Julie Chrisley were convicted for defrauding banks out of more than $30 MILLION. Then their daughter joined the “Team Trump’s Women Tour.” Today, Trump pardoned them. So, in Trump’s America, the well-connected are above the law?

DOGE is not a way of life, it’s a mantra of destruction. You leave a legacy of carnage and corruption that will haunt us for years to come.

Elon Musk announced that he will be leaving the government & his role within DOGE. His blatant abuse of power has come to an end, but his legacy of carnage & corruption will continue. His few months in this administration have set us back for years to come.

Trump has continued to abuse tariffs as a tactic to bully foreign countries & force U.S. companies to bow down to him and his billionaire friends. So the courts struck them down. Good riddance to his illegal authoritarian power grab.

RFK Jr. has threatened to stop NIH scientists from publishing their research in influential medical journals. What happened to supporting free speech??? Seems like this administration only cares about protecting speech that aligns with its own.

I guess a broken clock is right twice a day. Trump's massive budget bill will increase wasteful government spending while cutting essential programs that Americans rely on to survive. You know it’s bad when even the guy gutting agencies is like ‘wtf’.

What has 28 Abrams tanks, 6,700 soldiers, 50 helicopters, 34 horses, two mules and a dog? Trump's birthday military parade. And guess what? It's going to cost taxpayers up to $45 MILLION. Cut food assistance but splurge on Trump's vanity. 🤷
