📽️ NEW: @whitehouse.senate.gov deconstructs Trump’s number one priority: the SAVE America Act.

Breaking: Rep Haley Stevens files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. with support from Stand Up for Science

"RFK Jr.'s actions are negligent and will result in harm and loss of life. He must be impeached and removed,” said Colette Delawalla, Founder and CEO of Stand Up for Science. “As a scientist and a mother, I am not willing to go back to a time before robust public health interventions. For the first time in human history, we progressed from 30% of babies not making it to adulthood to over 98% surviving to adulthood because of modern medicine and vaccines. Eliminating effective public health interventions with proven track records and dismantling evidence-based science is not the way to promote health and reduce chronic illness. Stand Up For Science is ready to hold Secretary Kennedy accountable, as well as political candidates and other officeholders who are pushing a dangerous anti-science agenda.”

A card reads: "Judge Bars Trump From Requiring Proof of Citizenship For Voter Registration. In a firm 81-page opinion, the federal judge wrote that President Trump’s order clearly violated the separation of powers, claiming authority over the voting process not afforded by the Constitution."

A judge on Friday permanently barred the Trump administration from requiring proof of citizenship on federal voter registration forms, a change dictated in an executive order President Trump signed in March. A White House spokesman said the government would appeal. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/u...

“The men and women who have joined the C.D.C. across generations have done so not for prestige or power but because they believe deeply in the call to service. They deserve an H.H.S. secretary who stands up for health, supports science and has their back. So, too, does our country.”

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

The Big, Beautiful Bill throws 16 million off health care & decimates our already broken system. I have an amendment to do the opposite.

We EXPAND Medicare to cover dental, hearing & vision & pay for it by cutting prescription drug prices in half. Will any Republican support it?
