BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position?
RUSS VOUGHT: Yes
BOYLE: That's laughable!
no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend
In the richest country on Earth, it should never be this dangerous to bring a child into the world—especially when so many maternal deaths are preventable.
Honored to stand with my colleagues as March of Dimes named us 2026 March for Change Champions.
Thank you for your work on behalf of parents and babies. I was there advocating as a NICU doctor, along with parents and former preemies in my group.
Thanks to Mississippi Today for publishing our Guardian investigation into the people behind the campaign to resurrect the religious exemption, and how the change has affected Mississippi children and families
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.
"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.
I’m incensed that immigration policies are removing foreign doctors from their hospitals and jobs. We face a critical physician shortage. Many of these doctors treat the poor and underserved. This decision will cost lives. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/u...
“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.”

This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.
No good very bad for our children and economy
#Marchforchange 2026. Neonatologists as advocates!
Starting advocacy training now #Marchforchange Immunizations, maternal and infant health, and funding for science now!
Credit to the American Academy of Pediatrics for bringing this suit. As a proud member of the AAP, I will always stand up for the health of children!
The indirect — and sometimes surprising — benefits of vaccines - including, e.g.:
* rubella - protects unborn.
* pneumococcal - protects the elderly, too.
* HPV - protects unvaccinated partners.
And many more.

The measles outbreaks in the US are so bad and out of control that pediatricians are reaching out to colleagues in developing countries for input on how to manage severe complications of the disease that they have never seen before.
Measles was eliminated in the US for 20 years then #RFKJr happened.
🇺🇸 In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup with Andrews, Graham leads 47% to 42% of would-be voters.
🇺🇸Andrews closes the gap to just two points (44% to 46%) once voters are informed about each candidate's positions.
🇺🇸 Among independent voters, Graham trails Andrews by 19 points.
November is coming.

This! Pediatricians are nice, but when you are wrong and you mess with the health of children, we come after you 💥
Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.
Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.
They are good for society and the economy.

Because of Trump’s cuts to health care, rural hospitals across the country are at risk of closing.
Republicans in Congress voted for this. Trump signed it into law. And we’re going to hold them accountable for it in November.
Iran's leadership has chosen Mojtaba Khamenei, the previous leader's son and aide, as the new supreme leader. So President Trump's war has succeed inreplacing one Supreme Leader Khamenei with another who is younger, healthier, just as hardline and has close ties to the IRGC.
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
January 2021 was the deadliest month of the pandemic. 3000 Americans died daily, 95,000 in total.
And Prasad was *mocking* people for avoiding COVID.
Shame on anyone who treated him as a good faith actor or serious thinker.
Let’s be honest about his record.
If someone in your life talked like this, you would research involuntary commitment
Now's the time to plan a dedicated garden row or raised bed of high-producing, not highly perishable veggies — which you can share with local food insecurity organizations.
Wrong. Under controlling case law and the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the executive branch does not have the ability to withhold congressionally appropriated funds except under very limited circumstances that don’t exist here.
FT: “.. Wherever you look in financial markets, you see signs that global investors are going out of their way to avoid Donald Trump’s America.”
