New fluoride study challenges Trump admin stance A new study has found people exposed to the recommended levels of fluoride in drinking water do not experience negative cognitive impacts.

More real science directly contradicting the garbge spewing from trust fund baby RFK Jr.

"Rule of law" is being eviscerated. And not slowly.

As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers; slashed billions in funding from the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest sponsor of medical research; and threatened to oust the panel of medical experts charged with recommending preventive cancer screenings. Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission. Early in my illness, when I

Why do Democrats keep thinking an enemy of my enemy is my friend??

Does all of Washington operate with the sophistication of a middle school playground? Or just the Dems?

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Genius

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.

So John, when exactly do you think authoritarianism has begun?? Do you still insist we should be polite to the regime while citizens are disappeared? How can you be so blind?

I am vehemently opposed to the use of gov't resources (my taxes) to promulgate overtly partisan messages. Can anyone in congress even spell "Hatch Act"??

1️⃣ day until a government shutdown. 

This isn't a game or a joke. As Victoria, a cancer survivor who relies on ACA tax credits, put it: “I don’t feel like anybody should be put in the position of choosing whether you can keep yourself alive or not because of stupid finances and insurance.”

ICE is _not_ law enforcement. Police need to come to that realization. ICE is not on your side.

"New voices" but no new ideas. Still campaigning on how bad Trump is, which although true, is a proven loser in the polls. Dems need to present and promote vigorously their ideas for what they will do to help Americans. "Trump is bad, vote for us" HAS NOT WORKED. And it will not work.

Correct! And it's why Medicare is already 50% privatized (misleadingly labeled "Medicare Advantage"). It's a boondoggle and they want to expand it to Social Security.

Michigan's Cromine Public Library has "taken action" on 34 books, following challenges to 200.

"Taking action" includes *labeling* the content inside several of them, relocating several of them, and outright removing several of them.

These are *ALL* book censorship.

This is the awesomeness created when highly skilled CDC-ers are RIFfed/laid off/forcibly retired.
Imagine all we could do if we were still at the CDC!

Weekly reminder: corporations aren't people and money isn't free speech.

The federal government may shut down in less than 48 hours unless a bipartisan agreement is reached.

House and Senate Democrats are in Washington working for the people.

Why are House Republicans on vacation?

Exclusive: Federal drug prosecutions fall to lowest level in decades as Trump shifts focus to deportations The number of people charged with breaking federal drug laws dropped to the slowest rate since at least the late 1990s.

Trump said he'd go after the "bad guys."

Instead, federal drug prosecutions have fallen to the lowest level in decades — because agents are pulled off fentanyl trafficking cases to hunt down innocent families.

Trump’s immigration policies don’t work.
