More kids died from flu last season than in any non-pandemic season since monitored began 20 years ago. Almost 90% were unvaccinated. Parents: talk to your doctor about getting your kids vaccinated. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...
NFL and MLB owners certainly are free to hold moments of silence for Charlie Kirk. That's fine.
My question is why they don't hold them for victims of all the mass shootings?
I would love sports reporters to call and ask.
Refusing to act, then falsely accusing those who want to see something tangible done to protect kids of attacking prayer on top of it, is doubly shameless.
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
men will literally invent a new political party instead of saying “sorry i elected the fascist”
Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski Follow When experts warned for months that the NWS "is being destroyed" by Trump's personnel cuts, Howard Lutnick assured Congress that forecasting won't be affected. Now TX officials are blaming a faulty forecast by NWS for the deadly impact of a storm.
We’re not doing this. There were flash flood watches and warnings. It may have been during the night, but the weather service is doing heroic work under terrible staffing and funding conditions.
Texas officials are shifting blame because they were asked directly why they didn’t order evacuation.
Do you have any idea how many children are in America, the liberal media never highlights all the ones who don’t die
I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset.
I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.
There were a lot of folks here insisting yesterday that weather service cuts had no impact on Texas flood deaths. There’s zero way you can draw conclusions like hours later. Important follow up here. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...
They lie about everything

RFK Jr. is now taking COVID19 vaccines away from people who are pregnant. Infection during pregnancy increases the risk severe disease and potentially preterm birth.
The CDC itself lists pregnancy as a condition that puts people at risk for severe disease. The science doesn’t support this.

Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."
Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.
1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.
Imagine a Democrat saying that maybe the veterans they fired without cause “perhaps aren’t fit to have a job,” and then expecting that Democrat to face zero consequences in the press or at the ballot box. That even the thought of this is impossible should tell you where we are right now.
“This is absurd, corrosive nonsense,” wrote journalist James Surowiecki in a post on X Tuesday. “There are not tens of millions of dead people getting Social Security checks, & the only reason Leavitt is out here making these hysterical claims is because Elon Musk misunderstood a table of numbers.”
Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:
When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
Trump fired at least a dozen inspectors general from more than a dozen federal agencies and some top elected Dems are talking about the price of a dozen eggs.
Power lines are suspended from metal towers across a scorched canyon, with houses on hillsides in the background. A headline reads: "New Video of Eaton Fire Raises More Questions for Power Company." Photo by Stephen Ross Goldstein for The New York Times.
Investigators are still trying to determine what started the Eaton fire, which raged through Altadena, California, and killed 17 people. A new video appears to show sparking on a power line near the origin of the blaze. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/26/u...
I can’t help but shake the sense that the through line with all these assassins and mass shooters isn’t their politics but the easily obtained guns they have in their hands when they engage in the assassination or mass shooting. I imagine the gun industry loves our fascination with the wrong thing.
Guns are the leading cause of death in America.
Incredible how the narrative changes as soon as the election is over
"'Obviously we're still waiting to see where the administration will go, but it does look like our community has been played...'
"'We are very disappointed,' he said..."

Donald Trump confirmed this morning that he plans to declare a national emergency and use military assets for a mass deportation program.
The reason so many of these stories come and go is because we have competent health officials to mitigate these crises. When they effectively manage situations like this, their work is invisible—and unfortunately, unappreciated by the public. And now we’ll likely have RFK Jr. in charge…
