Children don't vote, and apparently, their feelings don't matter at all because the whole point of a combination vaccine was to decrease the number of shots they get.
Also, it saves money to give one injection over two.

Washington, DC — here’s what you can expect now that the president wants to cosplay as dictator in your city, too:
▪️Soldiers sitting around with nothing to do
▪️Lies from all levels of the federal government
▪️No meaningful impact

Just wanted to say that Trump is a traitorous, Putin-loving dipshit!
Goes double for Elon!

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate:
- Emergency response in natural disasters
- Education and healthcare for disabled children
- Clean air and water programs
- Gang crime investigations
- Monitoring of nursing home abuse
- Nuclear reactor regulation
- Cancer research

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout.
Democrats voted yes.
Republicans voted no.
Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

It’s 4am - still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway.
We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no.
So we tried $100m. Every Republican voted no.
So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no.
See what’s going on?

Even if your federal job (probationary or not) is preserved, all federal employees and contractors should be outraged by the callousness of these EO and DOGE/OPM job actions because there is a person behind that line in a spreadsheet. #federalemployees

A lot of people are portraying USAID as some sort of bastion of looney DEI excesses. Let’s take a look at what the sudden arresting of their operation is doing to global health. Please read the thread (my thread, not Ryan James’):
3 Feb 2025
About 99% of Americans had no idea what USAID was 30 seconds ago and if they had known they'd demand it be closed years ago.
Every type of wasteful federal project imaginable came out of that useless institution.
This is not the hill to die on that Democrats think it is

I always believed we needed more physicians in government so they could act as good advocates for science. Now I am not so sure. You are a disgrace to our profession.

The puffy objects seen on the horizon started appearing in the sky yesterday. Our seasoned forecasters said they used to be common before the Santa Ana winds. Apparently, they're called "clouds".
